    Not a single imperfection. Very well made and I expect this wallet will last for years. Great communication and fast turnaround. Thanks a bunch.

  2. Raymond Ledda (verified owner) –

    Purchased the vertical bifold and am very pleased with the wallet. I have received several compliments on it and quality looks and feels better than my previous LV wallet. Silas provided excellent customer service, offering different shades of blue just to make sure I wanted the right one. He frequently emailed me to update me the status of the wallet. I would strongly purchase from Leather Bound again. Thank you Silas!

  3. Larry Li (verified owner) –

    With all the choices of leather present, it was hard for me to choose one. Silas worked with me the whole time. Great communication and customer service. Through the leather and stitching, the quality of the wallet is phenomenal.

    The workmanship on this wallet is incredible, wallets double this price might struggle to have this attention to detail. Also. Silas’ customer service is great, he worked with me to custom design each and every aspect of this wallet from leather type to color and design. Highly recommend!

  11. Ali Mohammed (verified owner) –

    I ordered a vertical wallet and upon receipt, packaging and a personal touch from Silas was great. Ordered a chevre exterior and interior wallet and the quality of this wallet is phenomenal. Beautiful smell and soft to the touch. Collect alot of wallets but I feel this is my one stop shop with a reasonable price. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for wallets to allow Silas be your guy. I’ll def be ordering more.

  12. Tuy Nguyen (verified owner) –

The quality of the design and materials are outstanding. Whenever I had a concern or worry, you took the time to respond to ALL my emails and put me at ease. Truly a work of art your service and workmanship are. Thank you again.

  19. Fabien (verified owner) –

    The leather quality is just unbelievable. Buttero is nice but the shell looks so much nicer creating a beautiful contrast

  20. Scott Rock (verified owner) –

    Extremely well made and ultra-high quality materials. Excellent workmanship all around. Would buy any leather products from Leatherbound. Terrific company.

  21. Greg Fisher (verified owner) –

    Stop shopping around. I am not kidding. I am someone who values quality and can justify spending a little bit more for something that I know is made well and with good intentions. I can promise that is what youre getting when you commission a wallet from Silas. A professional, skilled craftsman who truly provides a work of art that will last for years and become even more beautiful as that time passes. My wallet took a little while longer because there was an unforeseen problem with the leather that Slias worked on diligently. I would rather have my wallet done right as opposed to done right now. If you are someone who appreciates craftsmanship and pieces with personality, you truly need look no further.

  22. Kenny Nguyen (verified owner) –

    Silas is very throughout this whole process. He suggested what looks good for the wallet. After the wallet was shipped it arrived in the US in no time, very nice packaging. Will definitely do business with him over and over.

  23. Mike F. (verified owner) –

    Silas did an amazing job with my commission. The leathers feels amazing, the colors are rich and the craftsmanship is top notch. The stitching, edges, and everything looks great, couldn’t have asked for better. Silas worked with me to select materials and stitching colors from a post I saw a while back that wasn’t immediately configurable through the page and it was really easy to communicate with him and get exactly what I was after. Now my wife is jealous and wants one too!

  24. ron gusinjac (verified owner) –

    The wallet is really nice a little bit on the bigger side. But all in all great for fitting some cards and folded cash. Silas is very talented and his work reflects it, top notch quality something you’d expect out of very high end brands. I’d recommend asking him about the different colours you’re thinking about as the leathers have different characteristics. 10/10 would recommend

  25. Caleb Manquera (verified owner) –

    It looks and feels clean. I like that classic leather smell to it as well

  26. Andrew Gorzny (verified owner) –

    The material and quality of these wallets are top notch. The layout of the vertical wallet perfectly meets my needs, and cards stay in place yet are easy to access. The wallet is made so well. From order to delivery – met expectations and I couldn’t be happier. I’ll be ordering again in the future.

  27. Tim Vu (verified owner) –

    Silas is an artist with leather. When I made my custom order, he gave his own interpretation of how the colors would clash and gave advice on how it will look. He really cares how the final product will come out. He was professional and timely with his emails. It was a service that make the wallet all the more special. The wallet was clean cut with burnishing and stitching that was top notch. Will be buying more products from Silas as gifts and for my own collections

  28. Bosager (verified owner) –

    Vertical Bifold

  37. Jon Hill (verified owner) –

    High quality workmanship and excellent leather. Highly recommend! I recently received a new wallet that Silas made. It’s my third wallet from LeatherBound. All three wallets have held up for 3+ years and are still in great condition. If you’re in the market for a quality leather wallet Silas makes an excellent product!

  38. Wayne W (verified owner) –

    Having previously owned a very similar design wallet from a well-known luxury brand and now one from Leatherbound, I can honestly say Silas’ is better. The attention to detail from top to bottom, front to back, really shows. The saddle stitching is precise and not a single loose string to be seen. The leather is supple and the painted edges are spot-on. This wallet was well worth the wait.

  39. J.E. (verified owner) –

    Silas brought my vision to life and the final product was better than expected. Would 100% recommend Leatherbound, not to mention amazing customer service from Silas!

  40. Jillian McCormick (verified owner) –

    So happy with this wallet. Beautiful craftsmanship and you can tell a lot of work went into it. Definitely recommend Silas’ work, and I will be ordering another soon. 🙂

  41. Leyna Tran (verified owner) –

    I purchased a vertical bifold for my partner after my brother recommended Leatherbound. I opted for black everything and couldn’t be more happy with my purchase. It’s well-crafted and minimalistic, but high quality. My partner loves it and we can’t wait to see how well it holds up as it gets used. Thank you Silas for the updates and the amazing final product. P.S. My brothers wallet that he ordered 3 years ago is still going strong after everyday use.

  42. Alex Blommestyn (verified owner) –

    Ordered the vertical bi-fold, came in exactly on time and was beautifully made. Very very happy.

  43. William On (verified owner) –

    Love the quality of the build and materials. Could not be any better!

  44. George Wang (verified owner) –

    While searching the internet for Shinki shell cordovan, I stumbled upon this site and am so happy I did! Silas’ creations are true works of art and I found that he pays great attention to details and is very easy to work with. I spec’d out my dream vertical bifold with purple Leder Ogawa interior and brown museum interior, and the resulting wallet is truly exquisite. I would recommend Leatherbound wallets without reservation.

  45. Hei Ieong (verified owner) –

    Got a vertical bifold and it was as good as it came. I asked for a window modification and they were able to accommodate!

  46. Axel Jakobsson (verified owner) –

    I received my vertical bifold a couple of dags ago and I’m very pleased. The quality leather and worksmanship is great. I hope and think it will be my everyday wallet for a long time. Cheers Axel

  47. Xavier Torres (verified owner) –

    Craftsmanship is flawless. Matching bifold wallets are identical and look & feel soft and supple. Even fixed issue that I had from a previous wallet with the same design where the card behind the other is hard to remove as pockets are positioned exactly behind each other. In these wallets, the slot behind is raised so they are both visible and card behind is easy to grab.

  48. Steven Tran (verified owner) –

    Well crafted and beautiful, I’m almost too afraid to use it.

  49. Andrey Chervyakov (verified owner) –

    The wallet is very well-made, the leather is beautiful and looks very premium and the craftsmanship is master-level.

  50. AR (verified owner) –

    I really liked the overall build quality, design and quality workmanship of this wallet. The wallet is also thin and slim. I am very happy with my purchase.

  51. Iwan Williams (verified owner) –

    The wallet I ordered was everything I hoped for. The ordering process was incredibly easy and all the customization options are awesome. Thank you!

  52. Allan Deguzman (verified owner) –

    Wallet looks perfect. The leather looks and feels nice. It was worth the wait. Thanks!

  53. Jeff (verified owner) –

    This is one of many custom wallets and cardholders that Silas has made for me. Like all the others it did not disappoint! I doubt there is anything he can’t do, just ask. In addition to his leather skills he is an excellent communicator and a true pleasure to do business with. If a one of a kind leather piece is what you want, Leatherbound will deliver every time! You will not be disappointed!

  54. Onkar Samra (verified owner) –

    Highly recommend. The quality is great

  55. WILIAM ATKINS (verified owner) –

    Fantastic experience and craftsmanship

  56. Luis Martinez (verified owner) –

    I’m absolutely thrilled with this wallet! I spent a lot of time researching different companies, but I’m so glad I chose this one. The quality of the leather is outstanding, and the level of customization was amazing—I got to choose the leather type, color, stitching, and thread, and it turned out perfect. I loved the whole personalization process, and the final product truly feels one of a kind. If you have any questions about the different leather options, Silas is incredibly helpful and offers great professional advice. I’d recommend this to anyone who’s debating—100% worth it!

  57. Bruce Scobie (verified owner) –

    So much better than anything I’ve had before, beautiful craftsmanship, gorgeous leather. Looking forward to ordering something for my wife for Christmas!
