Wallets and more!


We're chugging right along, getting ready for convention time!
Some more new goodies you'll see from us:
Badge/Key card holders and Wallets!

Bifold Wallet (Standard)
 A bit of an experiment here! This wallet was carved and antiqued, then adorned with a wonderfully soft tiger print short pile faux-fur. The interior is leather and canvas, machine made. Exterior is leather and faux fur, hand laced. The lacing is more intricate than I normally do - that alone took nearly 6 hours!

It has 6 card slots, 1 bill slot, and 2 additional horizontal pockets for business cards or papers.
Open dimensions (laying flat): 4” (10cm) wide X 9 3/4" (24.5cm) long.
Folded dimensions: 4 3/4" (12cm) long and 1" (2.5cm) thick when empty.



Trifold Wallet
Dyed a deep burgundy and adorned with a fox and swooshy decorative carving, this wallet is a standard-size trifold. The interior is leather and canvas, machine made. Exterior is genuine leather.

It has 1 ID card window (credit-card sized), 5 card slots, 1 bill slot, and 2 additional pockets for business cards or papers.
Open dimensions (laying flat): 4 5/8" (12cm) wide X 10 1/2" (27.5cm) long.Folded dimensions: 3 3/4" (9.5cm) long and 1 1/4" (3cm) thick when empty.


Bifold Wallet (Extra Large)
This wallet was a personal project - I needed a new one ^.^ Carved with a henna / mehndi design on the exterior and a few simple designs on the interior, it is a great simplistic wallet. 5 pockets in total, just enough for a few cards, papers and an extra-large bill pocket. Hand stitched with contrasting thread for a little style.

It has 2 card slots, an extra-large bill pocket and 2 additional pockets for cards or papers.Open dimensions (laying flat): 3 3/4" (9.5cm) wide X 9 1/2" (23.5cm) long.
Folded dimensions: 4 1/2" (11.5cm) long and 1" (2.5cm) thick when empty.
*This item was for myself and made with a bit of a different dye process. I used a diluted dye wash rather than the usual full strength, then ran an antique over it to deepen the color.

These Badge / Key Card holders are great for when you don't have accessible pockets, but still want to show off a little style!
Both fit a standard hotel key or credit-card sized card and have enough room to tuck in a little emergency cash. They are hand sewn and worn either with a clip-type lanyard (pictured) or a lace lanyard tied in the two top holes. The back on each has a clear plastic window to display your badge, while the front can be customized. The slim model is big enough to make a customized name design and maybe add some stamps. The square is large enough for a simple custom carved drawing. Both models here have been left natural color and accented with acrylic paint.
