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.
