Earned patina
Patina in a leather wallet is a gorgeous thing that you can only achieve by using the wallet. The touch of a hand, sunlight, pressure when using it in a pocket and time forms a beautiful look for the wallet as the usage brings out the oils that are hidden inside the wallet. Sunlight gives it a nice tan and the pressure of your cards starts to from shapes outside the wallet.
To speed up the process you can apply leather balm on the surface of the leather but be patient as earned patina is a true achievement so let the leather wallet make its magic over time.
Quality takes time
All of my leather products are handmade with a great passion for leather craft. By using traditional methods I can achieve the best possible result without taking any shortcuts. It's not the quickest way but it's the most reliable and durable way to work with leather.
Saddle stitching is the strongest and the most long lasting stitching method. It takes a lot of time to hand stitch anything but it will not come apart which might happen with machine stitched products.
Edge finishing is also very time consuming as only the time you spend on it makes the difference. I love the look of a finished edge so that's why I do it for all of my leather wallets.
I make all my wallets one at a time and that means I focus all my skills and passion to each product I make. It also makes my work much more enjoyable than making them in bulk as I get to go through all stages of the process without numbing my nerves bulking every step for mass production.
Awesome wallet! Great Finnish craftsmanship, thank you.
Thank you so much for the review 🙏

Small enough to fit into your pocket, spacious enough to fit all necessary cards. Even room for banknotes plus slot for frequently used card(s).. Quality is flawless, and the smell of leather.. lovely! For this price, it is a steal! Very much recommended!
Thank you for the kind words and for choosing Luava as your wallet maker! 🙏

I ordered a black Messenger. The design is simple and clever, providing just enough space for my needs. The craftmanship is awesome and every detail is perfectly executed. Yes, it's more expensive than mass produced wallets, but I believe this will last forever.
Good choice! Messenger Wallet is still my all time favorite wallet designs as it's so compact. And it will surely last forever thank you for the review!

great idea, super little wallet
in fact , i found out that if you do have a lot of coins as I do it's really hard to put cards in wallet, but for me I have 1 card in the back , folded cash and plenty of coins inside and that's all what I need for shopping
Messenger Wallet tends to be very versatile and the usage you describe is very clever! thanks for the review!
