"I am really pleased with the new Luava Finland wallet made by Juuso Virtanen. It is high a quality item and arrived really nicely wrapped with a personalized message. I trust this will accompany me for many years to come. All my expectations were met and I would happily purchase the same again. Thanks!"

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.
Beautiful card wallet with an amazing patina which will mellow with use. Gorgeous craftsmanship and huge credit to the very skilled maker.
Thank you.
Thanks to you Peter! It was a pleasure to craft the wallet for you :)

I'm very glad you like it! Thanks for the review :)
Taskuun ja pieniin käsilaukkuihin sopiva, kaiken tarpeellisen sisäänsä syövä. Ihana, minimalistinen.

It is truly an ideal wallet. It's all I need, it's all I need.
The best leather, the best smell, the best stitching.
This wallet will be with me for the rest of my life.
Thank you 🙏 it sure is tough and will last a lifetime. I'm happy you enjoy it so much!
I ordered wallet that I can use on my trips/vacations. So called city wallet and messenger wallet is perfect to that meaning. Fits well in pocket and keeps cards safe. And of course it looks great and it is well-made. Delivery was fast when ordered. Honestly can recommend to everybody.
City wallet is a very good way to describe Messenger Wallet. Even though it's small it's still surprisingly spacious thanks for the support and the review!
High quality, both material and handwork (leather, button, stiches) I have used it for a few months now.
Thank you Janne for the support and for the review! It really warms my heart that you are satisfied with something I made with my hands!
Excellent craftsmanship and I couldn't be happier with my purchase! Supporting a small entrepreneur also influenced the purchase decision and you can see that he is passionate about what he does.
Passion really drives me for the best possible quality. Thanks for the support and the review!
Todella tyytyväinen asiakas kiittää hyvästä palvelusta ja hienosta lompakosta. Tyylikäs ja pien kokoinen. Nykyään lompakko kulkee etutaskussa.
Messenger Lompakko on juuri sopivan kokoinen, että se mahtuu loistavasti etutaskuun. Kiitos paljon palautteesta, se lämmittää sydäntä :)
