    *Please check the box after noting the following:
    1. Personalization without foil can turn out very subtle on textured leathers, especially Sherpa, Epsom, and Dauphin. It is recommended to choose foil with these leathers. 
    2. We take care to make the personalization durable, but we do not guarantee the foil integrity for the life of the item.
    3. Default location for folding wallets is the inner right hand corner. For non-folding wallets, default location is the front right hand corner. For other items or requests, please indicate your preference in the order notes.
      1. For wallets with the mini pocket addition, personalization will be stamped in the center of said pocket.

Amazing Work

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!

Best in class!

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!
