Testimonials

The bespoke products take time to create, but it is so worth it.
The quality and care put into making it is amazing.
10/10

I almost never leave reviews, but feel obligated to do so in this case considering the quality of the product I received. Communication is prompt, wallet construction is immaculate, and the value is exceptional.

I ordered the classic bifold with a museum calf exterior and chèvre interior. I included (what I believed to be) potentially confusing and obscure requests, but they were duly noted and understood by Silas without further clarification. He provided an update photo along the way so I could see how it looked during the process, and correspondence was always timely.

The wallet itself took a while to arrive, but was certainly worth the wait; the colors pair beautifully, the material is durable yet flexible, and the edges are sleek. It manages to feel both hardy/robust, and elegant/refined.

If you're still on the fence, I think it's a no-brainer (especially if you live in the States). You're getting comparable—if not superior—material and construction quality to that of high-end luxury brands for half the price. Thank you Silas!

Ordered a custom version of the minimalist wallet. Silas was quick to respond and provided details and suggestions. Finished product has excellent quality, I'm very happy with my purchase!

Ordered as a birthday gift. He cant stop talking about how much he loves it!

Great quality of leather and finishing and perfect size! Love my new wallet!

Superb quality, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. I love how you can customize and make the wallet truly yours - Silas took my reequests and put them into leather, and it came out exactly as I wanted!

Silas and Perla are always amazing to buy from! The quality of their items are always so superb!

The wallet is perfect! My husband wanted one for Christmas and based on the lead time I didn’t expect to have it in time (spoiler alert, I did). While it was being created Silas sent me an amazing in process photo, which was great because if it didn’t arrive I could have given it to my husband to open.

When it arrived it was packaged beautifully!

The price relative to the quality and service is unmatched!

Great attention to detail and fantastic leather quality.

It took some time to come, but so worth the wait! The craftsmanship and leather quality are top notch!

Excellent craftsmanship and quality! Silas took the time to send pictures contrasting colors of the leathers and finished the wallet faster than expected. Bought this wallet as a gift, but I am now considering getting something for myself!

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

10/10 wallet and customer service! Shop with confidence!

Commissioned Leatherbound.Ink to make a custom billfold for me, and it finally arrived yesterday. The attention to detail and the quality of the materials are better than I expected. The seal on the edges of the wallet were smooth, and the stitching is top notch. My order was a classic billfold: - Smooth Noir Baranil on the outside - Tochini Red on the inside - Sherpa Red for the cash lining - Engraved on the inside It's stunning and perfect for what I need. Thank you for taking the time for creating a beautiful bespoke piece that's personalized for me. :-)

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!

I've had a great experience ordering three different products from Leatherbound. These products are certainly worth the wait. Silas was incredibly communicative during the entire process and put together an fantastic product.

Fantastic experience and craftsmanship

Great product

Silas was very helpful in helping me choose colors and the wallet looks even better than I had expected in person. This is a great wallet to invest in!

I am not a red wallet kind of guy with yellow card slots, but I wanted something made with shell cordovan at a great price I took a chance with Silas and I loved the wallet, the finish , the smell of full grain leather The communication with Silas is amazing , always on time with update, very honest I would buy again

Highly recommend. The quality is great

Excellent craftsmanship and beautiful as well! This rivals any Luxury wallet I’ve purchased before. I definitely recommend anyone to get a custom wallet!

100 percent recommend

The more simple a design is the less there is to hide the faults. Like every other piece I’ve received from Silas, the custom sleeve I ordered is exactly what I asked for and made to the high standard I have come to expect from Leatherbound! It’s a one of a kind work of art. Exactly what I asked for!

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!

Quality and service outstanding. Willing to hear you out nobody how picky you are (me). Good attitude and works with whatever details you want out of your wallet. A true craftsman in his game. Thanks again.

I'm really pleased with this wallet. It feels great to hold, open, close, etc. It also looks wonderful; I expect that it'll look better with time as well. The only downside is that US bills are a little too big to hold in the wallet, so it spills out slightly into the center area. Not a noticable difference, but if you care about bills being fully tucked away, you may want to get a slightly larger wallet.

This time a lovely watch strap. Quality leather as always, and this fits perfectly into an existing clasp.

Silas has been very communicative and responsive throughout the process - my new wallet arrived today and I could not be happier! It is impeccable craftsmanship and easily beats a lot of the name brands' products. I chose the blue croc skin - to my surprise, it's beautifully supple and the color is just perfect for summer. Thank you so much :)

I reached out for a custom bifold. Silas was prompt in answering all of my questions and requests. The wallet exceeded my expectations and I am very happy with the result.

After years of buying wallets off the rack, I finally learned what I wanted in a wallet. The information on the site was very helpful in providing education and the communication was stellar through the entire process. The final product exceeded all expectations! Highly recommended!

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

I reached out to them about a product that was not listed, with a quick reply they were able to make it for me. They also were able to provided last minute additions that I wanted. If you want a stunning product that will last I would highly recommend their services. Amazing work Silas and Perla! 10/10

Classic Bifold

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.

I love my new wallet! The quality and craftsmanship is top notch! I love showing it off, and all the compliments I get on it

I couldn’t be happier. Silas is an absolute master of his craft. His creations look amazing online. In person, they look, and FEEL even better. It exudes quality and it’s clear it will last and last. I got my wallet today in the mail and it has instantly become one of my favorite belongings. If you’re looking for a gift for a guy who has everything (or want to get yourself a great gift), consider a custom wallet from Silas. Unbelievably awesome.

Silas did a really great job on my wallet and helped me choose an option I love. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone else! Truly a beautiful product.

Very happy with the wallet. It's beautiful and expertly crafted. Thank you Silas

We ordered a leather belt for my wife's birthday, and it came out beautifully and exactly as requested (and I'm a picky customer) with flawless hand stitching and high quality materials.

I mean its just a really beautifully crafted wallet. Very happy with the purchase

I recently had a sensational minimalist wallet created and personalised with a motif and I can’t explain just how beautiful it is.
From ordering to delivery the communication was first class, the teasing pic of my leather and brass stamp on the work bench made the delivery even sweeter. Can’t wait to have years and years with this modern day classic. Thank you very much

I ordered this wallet with 4 pockets (with 3 pockets on one side). This wallet is so nice, much better and sleeker than the Chanel cardholder I have. The saddle stitch is impeccable; I have a couple saddle stitched leather goods, and some artisans are better than others. Silas is definitely one of the better ones. Not to mention his customer service is top notch! Yes, the wait time for your finished leather good is long, but I’d argue this is standard for any bespoke service, especially for someone who literally hand stitches his work. I’ve spent way too much money on designer wallets that don’t even come close to the quality and detail that is demonstrated with my wallet from him. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends.

After reading the previous reviews, I can only echo their sentiment. I chose a shell cordovan exterior and chevre interior, and the materials are simply stunning. The navy (ogawa) is smooth and changes color from navy to almost black depending on the lighting. The craftsmanship is impeccable, with meticulous stitching and flawless edges. After 11 weeks of daily use, I still find myself admiring this wallet, it's simply perfect.

Having owned this wallet for almost 1.5 years now, it has aged wonderfully! Great choice of customization as well. Highly recommend!!!

I ordered the custom Green Croc strap and it is absolutely beautiful I love it! Very clean lines, great buckle Well worth the cost

I finally received my wallet and I am beyond impressed with Silas' craftsmanship. The quality is even better than any of the major fashion brands. And the leather? The quality is superb and I can't stop smelling it. Haha Silas was also accommodating with my requests after several exchanges of emails. He was also on track with the lead time he's given, which is 9 weeks. I would say it's all worth the wait!! Thank you Silas & Perla! - Kingston, from the Philippines

Very impressed with the quality and look of my wallet.

Done in a timely manner, perfect fit and finish.

Beautiful construction and craftsmanship! Love my new watch straps!

Leatherbound truly lives up to the hype in every way. Silas was incredibly kind, professional, and quick to reply when I had questions about color combinations. The minimalist wallet I ordered is incredibly high quality across the board, from the design to the stitching to the burnished edges. It feels a lot more like a functional piece of art than a product. Absolutely worth the wait. Cheers and thank you Silas!

Not one for leaving reviews, but I am incredibly happy with the finished product. I initially reached out to Silas directly regarding a custom wallet based on a design he had done for a prior client. Despite the time zone differences between ourselves, his communication was prompt, and he was even happy to offer his recommendations and thoughts based on the leathers I had chosen. Overall, incredibly happy with the wallet, and even happier with the customer service. I'll be sure to purchase another wallet in the future... When I can afford it ;)

Bought for a birthday present. Beautiful work, colours were true to the sample and the embossing of my custom image was sharp and clean. Thank you Silas!

Perfectly executed wallet. Silas did a very good job with this piece. Thank you!

I can’t emphasize enough how far fantastic these wallets are. It’s leaps and bounds above anything you could get from a retail store or even designer brand. The quality is top notch you can tell the materials used are of a high grade. I won’t be buying wallets from anywhere else!

Leatherbound by Silas has done it again for me with another custom wallet for men - smaller, thinner and more practical for today. Silas is detail-oriented and that is proven through his work. I am a repeated-happy customer. Thank you Silas!

Classic Bifold

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

This is my fourth or fifth order from leatherbound, and I will continue to be a customer. Silas is as accommodating and easy to communicate with as ever, and his work continues to be flawless.

I am so pleased with the design and materials. I went with alligator exterior and python accents, and Silas matched them perfectly. I look at my wallet so many times a day just to admire it. The difference in leather textures is really fun too.

Leatherbound has once again exceeded our expectations with their latest creation: two long wallets, custom-designed and handcrafted to perfection. As loyal customers who have experienced their impeccable craftsmanship firsthand, we were confident in their ability to deliver exceptional quality, rivaling that of renowned luxury brands. However, this time, we ventured beyond their standard offerings and requested custom designs and leathers. My wife, known for her picky taste, presented them with an unconventional and intricate design. The result? A piece that surpassed her expectations. Every detail was meticulously executed. The hand-feel of the calf and natural leathers is simply divine, a testament to Leatherbound's commitment to using only the finest materials. The future patina will elevate these wallets from mere accessories to unique complements to our attiret. If you're seeking unparalleled craftsmanship, personalized attention, and a guarantee of satisfaction, look no further than Leatherbound. Whether you choose from their existing collection or embark on a custom creation journey, rest assured that your experience will be nothing short of extraordinary.

The craftsmanship is impeccable and the wallet is a piece that I’ll have for a very long time and will cherish. It’s a very unique piece that stands out due to the materials, design and the time and effort put into it. I’d 100% recommend.

Ordered Museum Calf Bifold wallet. Absolute perfection. Lifelong wallet.

After much research and browsing examples of their work, I had very high expectations for Silas and Perla, and they absolutely did not disappoint. First, Silas was very responsive to my emails and helpful as I tried to come up with the exact wallet that I wanted. Once I decided, they accommodated my customizations - I love the flexibility and options they provide. They're upfront about the wait time, which is all you can ask. I didn't mind waiting because I knew how long it would take and I knew I would be getting a unique, BIFL piece. Now that I have it, I appreciate it every time I take it out. It's a luxurious, handsome, customized wallet that I plan on passing down to my son, and I hope it will become a family heirloom for generations. Such a truly special experience.

Silas was very helpful and prompt in answering my questions and providing examples of other leathers not shown on the website. I opted for a green museum calf exterior, which is beautiful. It's almost like having two wallets in one—in low to average lighting it almost appears solid black, but in direct sunlight the green color and marbling pops. The handmade quality and attention to detail is unlike any leather good I've owned, and the compact bifold design is perfect for my needs.

Silas was happy to humor my long list of customizations, including those beyond the kind of options listed on the website. I just received the wallet, and it's incredibly nice. I'm looking forward to many years of wear!

By far the best looking and quality wallet and keychain I have ever bought. The craftsmanship required to make such a beautiful wallet is unbelievable. I have gotten quite a few compliments from family and friends. Thank you Silas. I look forward to recommending Leatherbound to all my family and friends.

I'm very impressed with the compact bifold, it's the perfect size and layout. And of course, the materials and craftsmanship are top-notch. Well worth the wait for such a great product!

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

Exceeds all expectations. Worth the wait.

I am really happy with my wallet. It feels extremely well-made, and the color is beautiful. Highly recommended.

I am very happy with the wallet. The construction, the look, and the compact size of the wallet are all done beautifully. Silas also responds quite fast and is always willing to help. Time will tell how the leather will age, but I expect it will develop nicely. Do look carefully at the initials when ordering, especially when choosing the "Old Style" style typeface. This typeface is smaller than it looks on screen.

I've had a number of wallets. Many of them looked good, but not all of them wore well. Silas's work not only looked good new, but has worn very well in my pocket. Very nice workmanship that has just gotten softer and nicer to use with some age.

I don't expect to need another wallet soon, but when I do, this is where I'm shopping.

Beautiful wallet. Excellent work and attention to detail. Would definitely order again.

I got the wallet as a bday gift for my husband. It arrived a bit later but it was worth the wait. The material is of very good quality. My husband loves it, especially the personalization.

I ordered this wallet for myself as a treat to celebrate a life event. Like the girlfriend of one of the reviewers below, I am extremely picky. I cannot say enough good things about the quality of the wallet itself and the assistance provided by Silas as I was figuring out my order. I adore this wallet and I love it even more how it is completely specified to everything I could want in a wallet. I will definitely be ordering from Leatherbound again!!!

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.

Great handmade product. Loved the colour and feel of the leather. Highly recommended!

Just received my five-pocket wallet and the level of craftsmanship and quality is outstanding!

The quality of the leather, colors of the wallet, and craftsmanship were all amazing. Silas was great at keeping me updated throughout the process, and I've loved my new wallet.

Minimalist Wallet

Absolutely worth the wait and the price. Incredible quality and the perfect size for the ~8 cards and some cash that I carry.

I recently purchased the envelope trifold. All the details and stitching are perfect, and the customization was exactly as requested. Silas checked in multiple times along the way and helped us design exactly what we wanted. Love the smooth shell cordovan and goatskin interior.

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

Leatherbound does amazing work. The leathers are all top notch. My wallet and money clip were made with amazing attention to detail and are simply solid pieces of craftsmanship. Silas is easy to deal with and is super responsive. Would buy again from him anytime. Great, great stuff.

The build quality is amazing from the edge paint to the hand stitching, will be ordering again.

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

If you want to pay 2-3 times the price for a leather wallet or card case with the letters "LV" on it, then go for it. If you want the most customizable, highest quality, expertly crafted wallet money can buy, then look no more. You have found your source. The only thing I need now is a reason to order more, and I already have 5 handcrafted masterpieces from Leatherbound!

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.

The wallet is far beyond my expectations, it's an amazing piece of craftsmanship and after 2 months of use it's the best wallet i've ever owned! I definitely recommend these products for anybody who is looking for a handmade wallet, nothing can match Leatherbound's products

I think the title says it all. I do not believe that I'll need to buy another wallet again. The bifold I purchased from Leatherbound has a robust shell cordovan exterior in a rich red color. The stitching and overall construction is sturdy if not bulletproof and the inside is a contrasting gorgeous brown leather. It fits all of my cards with room to spare, and the hidden pockets are good for storing cash. So long as I don't lose this wallet or get it stolen, I hope to pass this one onto my kids.

Love it! Great quality and using it as my daily wallet.

Good materials but cards keep slipping out

It would be enough for me to offer that Silas is the best at what he does, but the biggest compliment I can give is that I believe he is the only one doing it. He is offering the complete package. First and foremost the quality of his work is a lesson in excellence. Beyond that, what is so unique is how much attention to detail goes into every other aspect of the experience as well. That includes the website, the communication, the shipping, the packaging, etc. This is my second piece from Leatherbound, with two more on the way. I have had functional wallets in the past, but none matched up to my current custom wallet from Silas, which I have been using regularly for the last month. It gives me so much joy every time I handle. Don't hesitate to place your order, you will not be disappointed!

My 3rd purchase from Silas and "consistent quality" should be in the name of the company. Given its shell cordovan and the high quality workmanship, I have no doubt I will pass this on to my son one day. And the color is unique usually only found on high-end brands, which this should be considered, without the extra cost or overboard branding. Take your time, work with Silas on what. you want and you'll end up with a handmade one-of-a-kind masterpiece.

Silas continues to demonstrate why handmade items cannot be beat if you're looking for quality and attention to detail. Not to mention you'll have a luxury item for half the cost, yet just as good or better than the named brands. And is unique - one of a kind in the world.

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

I bought a five pocket wallet in natural shell cordovan and natural thread, and I'm stunned with it. I have a collection of the finest hand crafted small leather goods, belts and wallets mainly, from Herve N., Hermes, Ottely, and several others. I have a good idea of what the highest level of quality looks like, and this wallet belongs with the very best I have. I'm not easily impressed, and have handled and rejected lots of supposed high quality stuff. This wallet would be a bargain at twice the price, in my opinion.

Silas is a true professional. Great communication from start to finish. Easy to work with on customization. The wallet is a premium product as far as material and craftsmanship. Great value for a one of a kind piece. The experience was a pleasure!

Ordered a minimalist vertical wallet and it was done in 4 weeks! The craftmanship on the wallet is absolutely perfect - not a single stitch is off and the painted edges are also flawless (how is this possible?). I ordered it with Camel Shinki Cordovans and the color compliments very well with natural Chevre if you like a conservative color combination. Thanks again Silas for this awesome wallet =)

The overall quality is perfect and better than Berluti that I used to have. Thank you for your good material choice.

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

Premium handmade product using top leather materials. This will be on par with any high-end leather product, but better because it will be one-of-a-kind. Silas will also work with you to ensure you have the right color combinations to maintain a premium aesthetic. I just put in an order for 2 more items.

I recently received my 5-pocket Minimalist Wallet in Museum Calfskin. I’m truly blown away with the incredible quality. Of course only the best materials are used. However, the real tip-off that there is something really special about Silas’ work is the stitching along the edges. It is very tightly and uniformly done. To fully appreciate it, you should view it under a loupe - it is that good! Obviously I’m extremely happy with this wallet - so much so that I already have another on order. This one will be in Shinki shell cordovan.

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.

I bought a money clip wallet that was fully customized to my liking. The quality on this is amazing. Unlike anything I’ve ever had before. It’s simply fantastic. I’ve only had it for a limited time but the materials and assembly are the most premium I’ve owned. Silas was able to do a few minor tweaks to my liking which make it even more functional and to my liking. 100% will buy from him again in the future. Excellent communication and help selecting colors and design styles. Thanks!!

This is one of the most beautiful wallets I’ve ever seen. The leather is such high quality. The craftsmanship is unmatched. You can tell Silas takes his time on each piece and caressing about his work. Will have to get another one for my dad

Second purchase and still satisfied!

I’ve known that Silas would produce beautiful pieces based on his product photos and social media posts, but I was blown away by what he delivered. I custom-ordered a one-slot card sleeve with a thumb push out at the bottom. Everything turned out perfectly. It was done meticulously and with such attention to detail. A surprise treat was the packaging. My tiny card holder came in a two-piece black box and a luxurious dust bag bearing the Leatherbound brand. I will continue to support Silas and Leatherbound and have in fact ordered a few more pieces from him.

Minimalist Wallet

Amazing craftsmanship and detail. Would highly recommend!

Long Wallet

Minimalist Wallet

Loved my sharkshin minimalist wallet. The craftmanship is fantastic with a great attention to detail, all the way down to the packaging.

It turned out even better than expected! Highly recommended! Wonderful materials and construction.

Got a simple card holder made by Silas and I couldn’t be happier with it. Great details, feels high quality and durable, smells great too lol

I am super satisfied. Both with the wallet, which is really nice, and the proces. Silas is fast at responding to questions and during the production. I will definitely order another in 25 years when this is used up;)

Really love how the wallets and keychains turned out. They are beautifully crafted. Thank you so much!

Silas was incredibly helpful with design recommendations. The minimalist wallet is perfect for the few cards I carry and the middle pocket is extremely accessible. I could not be happier with how the wallet turned out! The nubuck sharkskin is really something else. Brings a new level of excitement and pride to a simple daily carry piece. I immediately went back online and commissioned a second wallet for my father. Highly recommend

Received the wallet and was absolutely stunned by how beautiful and perfect it was. Will definitely be ordering more pieces very soon! Thank you!!

This wallet is beautifully made. I originally was going to get a wallet from a big brand, but after extensive research I decided to get something handmade from an artisan instead. I came across this wallet, and I was immediately drawn to the unique leather and color combo. Shipping takes a while, but it's well worth it for these wallets. Quality worksmanship and materials.

The wallet looks great and is exactly as described. The violet shell cordovan is beautiful: it is a rich grape purple in bright/direct light, but a bit more muted in darker settings. It stands out without being too flashy. It was easy to work with Silas to customize the wallet as well as get ideas for the design. He's very responsive and even sends photos during the production process, which I thought was cool. The construction and stitching are high quality and I expect the wallet to last a long time. The quoted lead time was accurate as well.

I’ve had many good wallets from Montblanc to Gucci, but this wallet is a different kind of luxury. Materials are far better and Silas’ craftsmanship is absolutely stunning. Perfect attention to details. You’re getting far more for your money here. If you actually care about what materials are used in your wallet and you appreciate the finer leathers, look no further.

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. :)

Silas was super helpful with my inquiries and got back to me so quickly! The product came in exactly as I had imagined and the quality is amazing!! I love it so much and I can’t wait to gift it to my partner😊

Silas was very accommodating with my expedited request, and the wallet is beautiful! Such a unique piece of work. I can't recommend this enough.

Another amazing watch strap from Leatherbound. Love the kangaroo leather watch strap. Compliments my Australian Opal Mosaic dial watch. Thanks Silas!

I recently received my minimalist wallet. Had been eagerly awaiting it's arrival, especially since I had been eyeballing the item for a while. Silas, took time to respond to all inquiries and produced an amazing wallet. The quality of materials and details put into the wallet is top notch! Silas is a true artist and I will recommend Leatherbound Ink to everyone I know. It's perfect!

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!

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.

Silas is a true craftsman of leather. The watch strap is just drop dead gorgeous on my watch. The quality of materials is the best you can acquire and the workmanship just impeccable. I will be ordering future straps from Leatherbound for my watch collection.

Just received my Cordovan/Shinki leather watch strap. Wow Silas is a true "Master" of his craft. The quality of the leather is exceptional and stitching is perfection. I will be having Silas do more watch straps in the future for my collection.

My minimalist wallet just showed up. It’s perfect! So well made and so slim! It fits everything I had in my old bifold, and it’s thinner full than the bifold is empty.

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!

Fantastic workmanship and attention to detail, excellent communication, and a great selection of leathers. I ordered a wallet and was so impressed with the quality that I've since ordered a few more.

Vertical Bifold

Beautiful custom made wallet from a true professional. Outstanding service and Communication during the whole process.

We love the quality! Good quality leather and good stitching! My partner even mentioned that it kind looks and feels like LV! Worth the wait. Keep up the good work and god bless!

Great attention to detail and amazing stitching. Silas was very helpful with materials and what would suit my needs! Would definitely recommend!

The Shiniki leather is great, the stitching is perfect, and when I asked for a bit of a rush order for my wedding, my request was obliged. Great product and service!

Just received my Taupe Epsom with Nicotine Alligator accent pockets card case. Again, Silas never disappointed. Quality of the leather and workmanship are both excellent. Very happy with the purchase

Wallet looks awesome and feels great in my hands. I take it out of my pocket even though im not buying anything just to admire it. Would buy another one but feel this one might last a lifetime

Absolutely stunning wallet! Bought it as a wedding gift for my husband, and he LOVED it!

The stitching and edge finish are immaculate, and the quality of the leathers selected are amazing. I’m satisfied enough to recommend this site and products to my friends and family.

Third wallets from Leatherbound, this Nicotine Alligator exterior with Taupe Epsom interior vertical bifold is so beautifully made that I consider a work of art. Silas's skill and service is second to none.
Very happy with the purchase and highly recommended!

Second order from Leatherbound. Great options for leathers.. after a quick consult with Silas we had it dialed in. A few weeks later my high quality leather wallet arrived. Craftsmanship even better than two years ago… experience matters! Very happy with my purchase.. saving my first commissioned Leather-bound wallet for my son when he’s older.. definitely a buy it for life sort of product/quality.

Third wallet purchased. Always detailed, always lovely crafted and always appreciated. Don't be afraid to request or ask about anything - you will be glad you did as here is an opportunity to craft your perfect wallet.

The wallet is perfect and so much better than anything I could have bought off the shelf. I would 100% recommend.

My minimalist wallet is beautifully made and perfect for daily use. Drivers license, health insurance card, and a couple of credit cards plus $20 emergency funds.

I recently bought the classic bifold in olive shinki shell cordovan and its great. I got a bunch of compliments from friends and family on it so far, and I'm hoping it lasts a long time.

I’m totally happy with the cardholder. Perfectly made. Already thinking which will be next model.

Fantastic workmanship and Great communication..Very well made ..

Minimalist Bifold - Taupe Alligator

Received my new wallet and it has lived up to the highest expectations. Beautiful cordovan leather, perfect stitching and a pleasure to carry around.

Minimalist Bifold

Its like a little work of art. Excellent craftmanship and attention to detail. Very clean work. Coupled with great customer service and fast shipping makes for a great buy. I will definitely place more orders in the future.

Silas has done it again, fantastic quality on both my cardholders. The Sharkskin and Saffiano leathers are great choices and cannot be beat! Thank you Silas :).

ordered two wallets from the get go and I am more than pleased about the outcome. both wallets are beautifully stitched and I am amazed with how beautiful the leather is. i am going to order more in the future for myself and this will make a great gift to friends/family as well.

I bought this wallet for my boyfriend’s birthday gift. He loved to have a little bit of red in it so I asked Silas if he could do a customization for me and he delivered! The wallet came a few days early which was perfect! (I am purchasing from the US btw). My boyfriend loved the wallet and kept showing it off to his friends and family. Thank you so much!

Exceptional quality- The wallet is made from high quality material and the craftsmanship is very well done. Everything from the gold initials on the wallet pocket to the stitching are perfect. I appreciate the effort Silas put into informing me about the materials, answering my questions, and helping me put together the wallet I wanted. Will be ordering from Silas again in the future. Highly recommend!

I am totally blown away by the quality and craftsmanship that went into this wallet. Silas was fantastic to work with as he helped me find the right configuration for my wallet. I highly recommend purchasing one of his wallets!

Once again I made an order with Silas and am definitely satisfied and here why; great craftsman and attention to details , great communications , huge variety of leathers you can choose and customize and also good prices , you can be 100% sure will be happy with your wallet!

Finally got my green shell wallet today through the post. Great stuff! Getting another burgundy one. Thanks Silas. Tom

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

Product came as expected. It’s hard to go back to regular leather goods after using leatherbound product, especially at this quality and competitive price point.

Very impressed with the quality of the wallet and Shell Cordovan. The craftsmanship is top notch. Silas was great with communication throughout the process. He even agreed to use the more marbled pieces of the shell to get the look I was after

I ordered a minimalist wallet made out of blue sharkskin. I was surprised at how great it looks in person, super eye-catching. The stitching and craftmanship is also really well done and feels like it will last a very long time. Silas was also very responsive on Instagram and answered all of my questions/recommendations! Would absolutely recommend and will buy something again in the future.

Outstanding customer service quality, quick communication, flawless return process. Highly recommended.

Three words - Just freaking amazing!

Excellent work!!!

Nice and kind service and really delicate money clip wallet. I would love to order again and recommend to my frd.

My boyfriend’s wallet was peeling, filled with holes, and barely intact. Though I was quite impressed that it still held his cards and coins, I think it was obvious that a new wallet had to come into play. Silas worked with me from start to finish — providing sample photos, checking in to see what I wanted, sending progress photos. The wallet is a little thicker than his prior wallet, but I think that’s due to the fact that he’s been sitting on the other one for over 10 years now. Color, quality, & feel are all amazing! If he made bags I’d commission him for a backpack, but for now I’ll have to settle for at least ordering another SLG in the future.

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.

Beautifully crafted and high quality leather material! I love the texture and the perfect size for a bifold wallet. Silas has been very patient and helpful throughout the whole process as well. Definitely recommended!

Absolutely beautiful work!

High quality materials and work. Love the texture and easy communication. Solid product

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

Silas was very receptive about custom requirements that I had and worked it into the design of the wallet. He also furnished me with images when he started on my wallet. Fantastic workmanship. Really happy with it!

Excellent experience and excellent product. Silas personally helped me with the design and created a personalized custom wallet at an amazing price.

Silas has been awesome from beginning to end with the commissioned wallet. The wallet that I have received is gorgeous and I have received many compliments on it. The packaging is also very beautiful. Even after using it for about 2 weeks non-stop, the smell of leather is still there and amazing. The handfeel is very luxurious (saffiano leather) and the closure is very strong so I didn't have to worry about items falling out! Once again, thank you Silas for such a beautiful product.

Love the minimal look and feel of my monochrome orange wallet. Small durable and hopefully will last me years ! Thank you so much !

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

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!

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.

Quality top notch, Silas responsive, the packaging beautiful, the leather exceptional.

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.

This is the second custom piece Silas has made for me. The first was a small card holder and this was a notebook cover for an A5 size notebook. The style perfectly matches the card holder and Silas even prototyped a new style of pen holder for me. I let him know the general idea of what I was looking for but also relied on his expertise to suggest what he felt would work the best. The order was made in the estimated time given and shipping was surprisingly quick to California. I'm already thinking of what to get next.

Silas was very helpful and worked with me to customize my wallet to my specifications. I am extremely happy with the final product. The quality and craftsmanship are exceptional!

This stretch out version of Vertical Bifold fits all international currency folded once yet remain looking compact and slim. Love the leather combination of Chocolate Chèvre and Tobacco Pueblo with accent Epsom leather. Beautiful wallet, Excellent workmanship, Highly recommended!

I ordered this wallet as a birthday present and was not disappointed. Silas was great in communicating with me about shipping and making sure I got the wallet on time. The wallet came out flawless, even better than expected. I’m very happy with the whole process and will be back for more.

Building upon the great layout and organization of the Vertical Bifold, the Compact Bifold offers easier access to the hidden pockets as well as a fully-lined billfold slot that can hold all currencies! Clean stitching and burnished edges round out the beautiful burgundy and tan vegetable tanned leathers, making this piece as nice to look at and feel as it is to use. Silas helped answer all my questions throughout the design process and is able to talk through whatever ideas you have for the custom piece you’re interested in!

This wallet is among the most beautiful items I own. I had a few questions regarding leather type and finish before ordering, and Silas did a great job answering them. He was communicative throughout the entire process from start to finish. I would gladly work with him again.

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

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

My fiance is very picky. I wanted to get her a new wallet for her birthday, but I knew if I picked something off the shelf then it would inevitably have something that she didn't like. I messaged Silas about making a custom long-wallet for me, and the experience was fantastic. Silas explained different leather options to me and allowed me to pick everything - the color of the zipper teeth, the color of the zipper tape, the color of the thread, etc. The list goes on and on. When I received the wallet and gave it to my fiance, she was overjoyed. It is a work of art. It clearly came from an incredibly skilled craftsman and will be a classic piece for her to own for the rest of her life. I could not be more pleased with my experience with Leatherbound. I HIGHLY recommend giving them your business.

It really matches the wallet I also got from here! Looks good and feels good

Love the wallet! Shipping pretty fast as well

Everything I didn’t know I wanted. Quality is perfection and the attention to detail is superb.

I cannot begin to say THANK YOU for your excellent service and for the amazing work you do. My son's wallet is gorgeous and like nothing we have ever seen. 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.

I found Silas from the leathercraft community on reddit. Silas does not make any bifold wallets with a coin pocket but he was able to customise it for me. I just received it yesterday, the shipping was really fast! It took about 3 business days to Australia (sent on the 24th Dec and arrived on 30 Dec). I had ordered the burgundy cordovan exterior with the rose buttero interior. I saw the rose buttero on Leatherbound’s Instagram page, the actual colour was slightly darker then the Instagram image but still complements the burgundy cordovan really well. Silas is a brilliant leathercrafter, his stitches are perfect and all the edges are creased, beveled and burnished. It looks like a wallet you can buy from a luxury brand! 100% recommend and if I need any more wallets I wont hesitate to go back to Silas!

My new classic bifold in Chocolate Chevre and Tobacco Pueblo is a spectacular piece of art. The quality is superb and the craftsmanship looks and feels as if it will last forever. I could not be more pleased with the suggestions that Silas provided as he helped me to decide on the colors and leather. Silas sent photos during the construction process. The final result is awesome. Highly recommend. Go for it. You will not be disappointed. Order today.

Saw a ready-made bifold in colors I really liked so I got it. Even if it wasn't custom, it’s still amazing!

Had a really great experience purchasing a wallet from Silas. Would recommend messaging him if you are trying to decide between different color schemes and he'll be able to provide some add'l photos and point you in the right direction. Additionally, his communication is quick and he keeps you informed throughout the process so you know when to expect your product. You can definitely feel the quality of the wallet and leather once you receive it. Will 100% be buying from Silas again in the future.

Ordered one custom long wallet and one shell vertical wallet. Easy and quick communication as well as fast shipping. The wallets I received were beautifully well made. The price paid for work and leather quality is outstanding value. I’ll be ordering again. Don’t hesitate to work with Silas. He’ll make you something worth having.

'- Quick to respond, easy to add custom options - Beautiful construction and stitching - Instagram full of color combinations, if you can't figure out what you like - Shipped surprisingly fast for overseas, received within the week'

The wallet looks absolutely stunning and gorgeous, you can really feel the quality and craftsmenship. It is just beautiful all around. I can highly recommend to anyone looking for a custom wallet to order from Silas, you will not regret it!

It looks amazing, surpassed my already lofty expectations! Silas was very good at updates and professionalism!

Thank you very much!!!!

THE SHORT VERSION: This is my first shell cordovan wallet and I’m very happy with the beautiful minimalist bifold I received from Silas. He is an awesome leather artisan and I’m very impressed with the quality of his work and his attention to detail. SHIPPING/BOX: After being shipped from Taiwan, I was provided a tracking number and the wallet arrived to California in about a week. It arrived in a black outer box sealed with a custom LEATHERBOUND sticker. Even the edges of the box were neatly sealed with strips of clear tape for more security on its voyage here. Upon opening the outer box (Ok, I ripped it open), an inner black gift box housed a custom gray pouch emblazoned with the LEATHERBOUND name. The pull strings on the pouch were of a soft silky material and were adorned with two wooden beads to cinch the pouch shut. I’m impressed already. WALLET: The outer cordovan shell is blue in color and is from Leder Ogawa (Google them as it’s an interesting read). It is a smooth leather with an even dye. If I had to describe the blue, it would be like a combination of a navy and an electric blue. It may depend on the lighting on which hue you see. In terms of feel, honestly, as this is my first shell cordovan wallet, I wouldn’t be able to tell from feeling it that is comes from a horse. I’m sure with time it will break in nicely and will develop a nice patina. Both sides of the outer wallet has very detailed white stitching which is nice and tight. It appears that there was some beveling done so the stitching lays flatter into the leather. When searching for shell cordovan wallets, I compared the details of stitching to that of Silas’, and when doing so, you’ll notice the premium quality of Silas’ work. The outer edges of the wallet are treated to a smooth glass like finish joining the different layers of leather perfectly. Another way to describe it like running your fingers on a smooth piece of lacquered wood. The inner wallet is a natural brown color from Badalassi Carlo, which is an Italian veg tan leather. When seeing the color online, I felt that it was a perfect color combination for the Leder Ogawa blue. The inner leather has a slightly rougher feel to it. It’s still smooth, but I only say slightly rougher when you’re comparing it to the outer shell cordovan. Again, the white stitching for the inner wallet is well done, including where the stitching meets in the corners. It’s hard to describe but the individual stitching has almost an angled pattern to it, which I love. The card pockets are nicely done with nice trim detail (beveling) on the edges of the pockets. This is a detail that I rarely found when I was browsing other shell cordovan wallets. It’s a subtle detail that is noticed and greatly appreciated. Within one of the pockets was a black LEATHERBOUND heavy stock business card with the writing in an elegant gold foil. On the back, Silas hand wrote a personal message thanking me for my purchase. I much prefer this thoughtful gesture than other online purchases I’ve made that only included a printed receipt of my order. Overall, I’m very impressed with the quality of leather and the workmanship. I have no doubt that this wallet will last me a long time and I plan on using it as my every day carry to develop a nice patina. Admittedly, I haven’t used it yet because I still want to enjoy the newness and that leather smell. ☺ HOW I FOUND LEATHERBOUND: I was searching for cordovan wallets for a few weeks and I didn’t want to spend too much for my first one. I compared wallets on many different sites focusing mostly on a handmade option from a non chain store. Interestingly, I came across LEATHBOUND.INK on Reddit of all places. I saw his work and when visiting his website, I liked how I could see detailed pictures of his craftsmanship and I probably watched his Youtube videos several dozen times. My current or soon to be former every day carry wallet is an epi leather bifold from a luxury brand store. As it was a gift from my fiancée, I didn’t want to wear down the leather too much so I wanted to find an alternative. My wallet before that was a handmade Horween Chomexcel three slot wallet that started to develop a nice patina in the four years I used it. That wallet though was too thick because of the type of leather and so this shell cordovan is a perfect blend of elegance, pocketabilty (I’m sure that’s a real word), durability, and patina potential. To me, this wallet is versatile enough to go casually with jeans or dressed up in slacks. I’m looking forward to using this wallet after I get a few more new leather sniffs in. Thanks again Silas!

I’m very pleased with how the wallet turn out. Would recommend Silas workmanship and professionalism to everyone.

I absolutely love the wallet, I think I'll order again as a gift for my dad

I stumbled on Leatherbound by chance and was taken captive on the various materials/colours of leather that were available to choose from. Silas was wonderful to talk to. He would answer questions quickly and would be acceptable to provide any changes on your wallet as you like. The construction and quality of the leather of the wallet to the stitching and burnishing of the edges were the best I have ever seen. It’s an amazingly constructed wallet that will last me a life time. I will definitely purchase more wallets in the future. Thanks Silas.

This wallet is exactly what I was looking for. Quality and customer service are top notch. I'm honestly already thinking about getting another product.

Beautiful, thank you!

Amazing wallet!! Beautiful wallet!! Will definitely order another

Classic Bifold

This is our 2nd purchase from Silas. The first was a minimalist bifold. It was done so beautifully that I just had to get back to Silas when I was looking for a long wallet for my wife.

The wallet was ready in around a month (which was the timeline I was given while placing my order) guys it's worth the wait. It was sent via FedEX for a very reasonable charge.

The wallet itself is meticulously crafted. The inner lining is very well done without any air bubbles between the two layers of leather. The stitching is extremely neat and 9 stitches per inch (most craftsman use 6 stitches per inch) which shows a very high level of skill. The edges are a beauty to look at, they have a mirror polish and are silky smooth. The initials are crisp and straight.

I would definitely recommend you make at least one purchase from Leatherbound and you won't be disappointed. He offers an extremely large variety of leathers to choose from so I'm sure you'll find a leather you like.

PS: Thanks for the gift Silas, I'm sure she'll love it :-)

I ordered a classic bifold and the craftsmanship and materials are top notch! Silas went above and beyond in helping me select leathers and colors. I’d definitely recommend Leatherbound!

I ordered a Shell Cordovan Modern Bifold from Silas and he did an amazing job, The leather Japanese shell is gorgeous and Silas's workmanship is very impressive, I highly recommend Silas's work to anyone!

Great craftsmanship and well packaged! Silas even sent an email with a photo of the cut leathers ready for assembly. I'll definitely purchase again for gifts

I am a repeat customer and simply, the quality of the products hand-made by Silas is simply superb! I am very happy with the fine leather goods that Silas has made for me. Silas is also a great and prompt communicator. Highly recommended!

I've had the wallet for roughly 3-4 weeks now, and I'm absolutely in love with it. The Good: The blue shell cordovan is super smooth and reveals a more "electric blue" palette when exposed to natural sunlight.The craftsmanship is clean, and I love how Silas spliced/grafted the interior leather so that the edges are seamless. He also accommodated my request to make the right-hand pockets slanted instead of the straight design he showcases on the website. The Nitpicks: Shipping time from Taiwan to the US West Coast was average (~2 weeks), but I imagine it'd be faster without the global crisis going on. If there's one thing I'd change, it'd be the thickness of the interior leather (I chose Buttero/Dakota). It's a little thinner than expected, but then again I have no prior experience with quality leather. Reach out to Silas if you're ever in doubt, and I'm sure he'll take care of you from the initial inquiries/quote to you receiving the product in hand.

Good hand-stitching. The price is reasonable.

I bought this wallet after seeing a comment on reddit, and it was a great choice. I wanted to get a designer wallet, but this surpases it in quality and design. I even got my initials on it instead of a logo, all for a great price. Would recommend to anyone.

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.

This is definitely the highest quality wallet I have ever owned. It is easy to spot that it is quality work and it really is just gorgeous to look at. Even the box it came in was really well presented. Silas was also very communicative and helpful. Will absolutely recommend to anyone who needs a new wallet.

Best wallet I've ever owned at a great price

Superior product, very nice packaging was an extra perk

Could not be happier with both the end result and the design process! From the very first step of selecting leather colours to inquiring about several design variations that were possible, Silas provided meaningful inputs to help find the perfect combination of leather colour, contrasting stitching, and overall design. Upon arrival the attention to detail as well as the quality of the shell cordovan leather stood out, making this piece one to cherish long into the future!

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!

Ordered a vertical bifold and it's an amazing product. The stitching is very clean and the color is even more impressive in person. Super happy and will definitely order from Silas again if I need any more leather goods!

I placed an order for the modern bifold around Christmastime '19 and received the final product some short weeks later. The maker was readily communicative throughout the manufacturing and delivery process- I was never left in doubt with its progress. I am more than satisfied with the final product, and it exceeds my expectations both in durability and beauty. At the time of this review entry, I am thrilled to say that my wallet is one of the very examples pictured in advertisement of the model. It is every bit as beautiful as it is portrayed on the webpage. I would wholeheartedly recommend this craftsman to anyone who wants personal leather effects with a special touch.

I bought 3 Modern Bifold wallets in different color combinations from Leathbound as gifts for family and friends. When I opened the package, i was surprised by the elegant packaging for each of the three wallets. They all looked great and the colors matched as what was shown on the website. I will definitely buy from Silas at Leathbound in the future for any wallet purchases. Thank you!

Looks and feel fantastic. Great work, you wont regret it!

Good materials, good craftsmanship, good price. Highly recommended.

Minimalist Wallet

For a custom product, this is easily the best experience I’ve ever encountered. From the leather selection right down to opening the box. Silas was very accommodating to my request for a different interior layout and he sent pictures of the different shells to make my choice. The leather and construction is top quality and I’m very happy with the final product. I highly recommend Silas if you are looking for a custom wallet.

Silas made me a beautiful custom made shell cordovan wallet. He was very communicative throughout the process and even sent me pictures of the production in progress. The workmanship and materials are fantastic and I am thrilled with the final product.

I am a particular leather-goods person and I can's say enough good things about the experience that I recently have with Silas of Leatherbound - prompt, polite, professional, keep me in the loop in every key step of the construction process . . . I received my items today (SF Express shipping only took 2-1/2 days) and they are simply beautiful and the quality & workmanship beat those of the brand name houses (you know who they are . . .). What you see in the pictures (Instagram) are the end products you would receive - beautifully made. Silas, thanks again for your work!

I just want to thank Silas for the awesome wallet.

If I need another wallet in the future, i'll definitely look into purchasing from Leatherbound!

Amazing craftsmanship by Silas from stitching to design to edge finishing he know his stuff , communication is great he respond very fast and explain everything accurately & precisely , price wise is great this is an easy 10/10 store if you love wallets you gotta buy few which i did and am sure i will buy more in future.

I bought this wallet as a gift for my husbands birthday. We are both beyond satisfied with the final product! I highly recommend working with Silas. He helped me decide on the color of leather to use and was quick with his responses. You will not be disappointed!

Exceptional product, beautiful slim wallet truly expertly constructed. Silas was great, reached out with updates throughout the production process and delivered an amazing wallet better than I could have expected. Entirely worth the cost, will continue to recommend to everyone who asks about it when they see it.

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.

Love the wallet! Can't wait for it to see how it looks after some break-in time.Great work! Also love the packaging and the included pouch that it came in :)

I cannot say enough good things about the wallet and the process of getting this - I messaged him on Instagram just inquiring about exotics and colors, and he sent me pictures of what he had and also could acquire! While he was making it, he also sent me progress pictures which was fun to get as well. Super transparent about pricing and timing, and just a very smooth interaction overall. Could not recommend more highly - I love this wallet!!

Slim bifold with very nice finishing. Exactly what I am looking for, would certainly get another piece some time later.

Very satisfying experience - from creating my own combination of colors and leather types to the final product. The wallet I received is a masterpiece: leather, construction, stitching and finishing are beautiful!

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!

I’ve owned regular wallets, designer wallets and bespoke wallets from across the globe. The wallets Silas makes are one of the best hand crafted wallets I’ve had the pleasure to own. His edge finishing and stitching takes exceptional skill and the finished product looks amazing. The ordering process is very simple and Silas maked the effort to answer all your questions until your sure of what you want. He also offers an extremely large collection of leathers to choose from.

I ordered a A6 notebook cover for use in my newsroom. It’s great, quality work, and smart enough for me to carry my often scruffy note books inside Thanks so much!

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

This wallet exceeded my expectations, which were already high. I've barely had the wallet and have already received compliments about it! Silas is also very professional. If you're thinking about getting a custom, high-quality wallet, I highly recommend going with Silas.

extremely pleased with construction and materials. would purchase again

Minimalist Wallet

Very high attention to detail and the pueblo leather has a beautiful texture.

Have had the wallet for a few weeks now and I'm liking it. It's a good size and the leather feels good. The construction is well done and the wallet was exactly as I ordered.

I will definitely order another piece. So appreciative of the quality, ability to customize and the international customer service.

The wallet I've received from Silas exceeded my expectations. The leather used is soft but durable, and the stitching on it is just perfect.

Working with Leatherbound was seamless from order to receiving the product. High quality wallet, delivered in a timely fashion considering its custom made and shipped across the world. Would definitely, and have, recommend Leatherbound if you are looking for fine leather goods.

Thank you! Beautiful and Great Feel.

I purchased two passport covers as a wedding gift for a good friend of mine. It was easy to order and complete the transaction. Silas kept in touch with me through the process and updated me as he made them. It was awesome personalizing the leather with their wedding date and initials. The leatherwork is top notch! Stitching is perfect and the quality and feel of the leather is world class! Thanks!!

Product smells, feels, and looks great! Silas is very attentive as listening to what you are looking for in a wallet

Fantastic wallet, you can see and feel (and smell!) the quality leather and construction. Pleasantly surprised with the modern bifold style, works great holding cash even without the dedicated pocket, and is very slim. Highly recommend the shinki shell cordovan...well worth the small premium! On top of that, had a small issue with delivery at first- Silas could not have been more helpful and responsive, making sure it got to me promptly!

I picked this up at a reduced priced, ready made. The quality upon opening the (carefully packaged) item was obvious. A lot of care has been put in to its construction by an independent craftsman. More robust and stylish than any 'branded' wallet I've gone through in the past.

I thought ordering internationally would mean it would take a while to arrive - understandably - but delivery was incredibly prompt.

5/5.

I commissioned Silas to use the patch of ortensia leather with the most contrast to match my Pelikan M805 Ocean Swirl fountain pen. True enough to his recommendation, 6 months in and the bifold has developed a great patina. Even with my rough handling of the wallet, the stitching has held up wonderfully and show no sign of fraying. Would gladly recommend to friends

Hot stamping looks fantastic. Very elegant and simple. Highly recommend.

I had been searching for somewhere to get a bespoke leather wallet made as a gift and this was just what I was looking for. The whole ordering process was easy and very personal and the final product was fantastic. Will definitely recommend to others! Thanks again.

Silas provided almost instant feedback to my customization request. When I received the product, it was as good as what it looks like on the website. Quality craftsmanship!

The creator was very understanding and designed the wallet to my exact preferred specifications. The look and feel of the wallet is excellent. 10/10 will recommend to others.

Ordered one for my dad’s birthday. Wallet is perfect, monogramming looks great, stitching was flawless. This will be my go-to gift from now on.

Excellent quality wallet, bought it as a present for my dad. Props to the maker for answering my questions quickly and exactly producing my requested wallet.

This is a very well made wallet. Highly recommend if you’re alright with waiting 4-5 weeks for processing and delivery

I’ve loved my wallet so far! I love the color scheme and material used and I even received compliments on my first day of using it. There was also a nice personal touch with a handwritten note in the package when I received it. Thank you!

I want to start off by saying Silas is running a horrible business practice, because the items he produces are BIFLs (Buy It For Life). If he keeps selling high quality items this affordable, he’ll run out of returning customers! I can see myself owning this wallet for years to come. It’s also beautifully handcrafted and I love showing it off to my peers. Please don’t ever close up shop!

I’m not sure what I’m more impressed with, the product or the customer service. Incredible product, and I couldn’t be happier.

I had a fairly unique custom job for Silas and he exceeded expectations. He worked with me every step of the way and he turned out a fantastic product. Everyone who sees my wallet is not only surprised by the quality but the price as well. For a custom made product, the quality is amazing for the price. I will definitely order in the future if I ever have need for more goods and will recommend to all of my friends.

I ordered the 3 pocket version in Tobacco Pueblo and I must say it is beautiful. I have received many compliments since acquiring it, and find myself admiring it often. The leather and craftsmanship are both very high quality, especially at this price point. I do note that it took 4 weeks to reach me after shipping, when I was expecting it in 1-2 weeks. Not the fault of Leatherbound, and I am still very satisfied with my purchase.

The quality of the wallet is something that I could have seen myself buying in the past years, but at this price it was something I had to try. I would normally buy bifolds but this wallet is doing the trick and it is doing it well.

I had a lot of questions and requests for pictures that Silas was kind enough to answer. He will also fulfill any customization requests to the best of his ability. Although I needed a new wallet I didn’t expect to feel so oddly happy about in person. Really enjoy it’s construction and color choices.

This wallet is sexy

For $40 this wallet feels absolutely worth it especially for something handmade. Can and will recommend to my friends and family.

Absolutely wonderful service, at a very competitive price. Leatherboundink was very helpful in choosing leather colours/combinations. Once ordered a clear waiting period was given, which was held to. The shipping was expedient. Product was flawless on arrival, I hope it lasts this way for a long time!

The wallet was exactly what I've been looking for for a while now, the quality is out of this world, I'm almost disappointed I won't need to buy anyone soon. Shipping was super fast from Taiwan to Canada too!

love the money clip design! the blue & yellow combo turned out better than expected in person. Shipping came to canada within 2 weeks!

I found this product on a social media platform. The owner answered my questions quickly, and I was impressed with their products. It was the right time for me to spend more on a homemade, professional, and long-lasting wallet. I look forward to not having to get a new wallet every year or two for a long time to come!

I spent the last month or so looking to find a beautiful portfolio for my S.O. and ended up on Leatherbound. In that time, I've conversed with the Silas with over 20 emails. From our conversation, I can say that he is a professional, both with his quality craftsmanship and with his communication detailing suggestions and responding to the needs that I wanted for the portfolio. While I finalize my order for a custom portfolio, I ordered two passport covers. One with a whisky buttero exterior and natural buttero interior and another in rose buttero exterior/interior. The quality is very high and amazing for the price point I have paid for. The rose buttero was also leather that was not in stock and custom ordered and was perfect for my S.O. In the end, I'm glad I found this website and feel that products I received are at a quality and price point are in a league that is untouchable for a larger-scale leathermaker. They feel like they are made to last and each of ours feels so personable and unique. Thanks for these one-of-a-kind passport holders. It gives me no excuse not to travel now!

I asked Silas on reddit how they would recommend securing some keys to a wallet and they recommended something like this. At first I was a bit skeptical on the key hardware but I love it! Not only that but the quality of the wallet is just amazing!

Well constructed from a good leather. Customization gives the wallet an edge compared to others at price point.

This is the ultimate form of the 5-slot cardholder wallet. I love that you can see how it’s made on the blog, and it looks wonderful up close. Cards stuck in the slots at first, but loosened up after removing and replacing a few times. The centre pocket opens fairly easily by pinching the sides. Comfortably holds my 5 cards and ~6 bills so far. Cards seem to bend outwards slightly regardless of how much or how little is in the centre pocket, but I expect the pockets will loosen up a bit with some wear.

I ordered a minimalist wallet with a special request to use a leather not available on the website. Silas was quick to respond that they could make it for me! The wallet is even nicer in person, and the quality is very good. Shipping to Canada was also quicker than the outlined estimates, as my wallet arrived in about 2 weeks time. Would absolutely recommend, and will probably be buying more in the future as gifts! Thanks.

I love it. My only criticism is that the slots for sliding the passport in are too long. The passport cover gets bent putting it in and taking it out.

I commissioned a minimalist bifold after seeing one in the ready-made products that had already sold -- the owner was happy to make me an identical one. I just received the wallet today and looks every bit as amazing in person; the construction is flawless and the material is beautiful. Can't recommend this operation highly enough, you won't be disappointed!

Amazing quality and communication

I was looking for my next wallet after my previous one totally fell apart. After hunting around, I reached out to Silas who was super professional, responsive, and sent me all the pictures I asked for of different leathers and colors (there are so many options!). The quality of the Shell Cordovan and the Pueblo leather on this wallet is astounding. But, anyone out there can buy top quality leather. You need a great leatherworker to turn it into something special. As soon as I opened the awesome packaging, I knew the craftsmanship was something special. It's super slim, holds all of my cards (9 in total) and a few USD bills comfortably. The stitching and edge work are finely finished and I can tell this thing will last me for years to come. It's the sort of quality you just can't get from machine-made and large production goods. I will most likely be ordering more for holiday gifts and definitely telling all my family and friends about it.

Details were good, no flaws. Fast replies. This is my 2d wallet from leather bound. I ordered with no hesitation.

Received the wallet yesterday. The leather feels amazing, the cards fit in effortlessly and just a wonder to look upon. The stitching is fantastic as well, would buy from again if the need ever arrived but the quality leads me to believe the wallet will last me more than a few years.

Received my first wallet from him yesterday, very glad I ran into him to make my wallet. Ordered another one before even reviewing the first one. Very good workmanship overall l. Quick customer service as well

I worked with Silas on getting a custom order. Nothing in the inventory was quite what I wanted. After a couple communications, the order was confirmed. The actual product exceeded my expectations. Its a beautiful piece and it will be used extensively.

Great wallet!

After receiving and using my Minimalist Bifold I can say with confidence — this is an exceptionally made item that is well worth its price. The bifold is as handsome in person as it is on the website. The feel and look of the stitching and leather is superb. Great stuff.

I was looking for the slimmest possible wallet to replace a Bosca that fell apart too easily, and this exceeded my expectations. It absolutely disappears in my pocket. Not much break-in was needed. This is a beautiful piece and worth every penny. The look, feel, and even smell is amazing. This was my first purchase, but will certainly not be my last. There are some amazing color options, and I plan to request a custom piece soon. It is also worth noting that the customer service is fantastic. Silas was very helpful and answered all questions and concerns quickly and politely. I have been recommending this site to my friends, as well.

Beautiful stitching - you can instantly tell the high level of attention to detail the maker puts into his work. 10/10 definitely recommend!

Very nicely made wallet

Stunning wallet that I use as my daily driver. Really impressed with with construction and quality of the leather. Looking forward to ordering again. Finding people who ship to Australia is impossible, was very pleased to find someone shipping custom orders internationally.

Product received ahead of time, I bought two money clip wallets and I'm very happy with the purchase.

Well made wallet, should last a long time.
