Made a custom belt

Made this custom leather belt with a minimalist fanny pack aesthetic

This was on request by a customer to make a high fashion style fanny pack belt with pockets to fit only a phone and a key fob

Made this using full grain pebbled red leather

The entire length of the belt is stitched by hand using 1mm red waxed thread with 5mm spacing

Also the pockets have a magnetic clasp for closure as seen

The buckle was a 38 mm stainless steel buckle.

This project was a lot of fun as it required me to make a design from the ground up and build along the way.

I guess this came out well as the customer was pleased.

Been quite a ride since I started off and I'm loving the craft and learning every single day.

Hand crafted minimalist bi-fold card holder

A wallet should get better with age, not worse.

Handcrafted this minimalist card holder from brown full-grain leather with contrasting off-white saddle stitching, all stitched by hand.

• 4 pockets

• Carries 6–7 cards comfortably

• Folded cash compartment

• No machines, no shortcuts

One of my favorite things about full-grain leather is that the patina becomes part of its story. A year from now, this wallet will look completely different than it does today.

Question for fellow EDC enthusiasts:

What's the sweet spot for wallet carry—ultra-minimal (3–4 cards) or enough room for 6–7 cards and cash like this?

I'd love to hear what everyone actually carries day to day.

Minimalist bi-fold card holder

Another project I had made at the beginning of my leather crafting journey Materials and specs below:

Hand made minimalist card holder Red full grain leather 4 card slots can hold 2 cards each and folded notes

Saddle stitched by hand using red thread (1 mm) However I have switched to 0.8 mm now and they look much cleaner.

I had also got the hand of burnishing the edges to a smoother

However I have learned a lot more since then and will be posting updates on that soon

Minimalist bi fold wallet

This was a custom minimalist bi fold wallet I had made for a customer a while back

I personally loved the contrast of the navy blue and the red thread on red leather

And also loved the grain on the navy blue

I'm curious to know what you think about the contrasting combinations?

Would love to engage with crafters and creators on new concepts and ideas

Hope y'all are having an amazing week

Minimalist bi-fold card holder

One of my favorite leathers for a project I made a while ago

This is the Copperfield — a handcrafted minimalist bifold made from premium mustard full-grain leather and saddle stitched entirely by hand using black thread.

Features:

• 4 card pockets (comfortably fits 2 cards per pocket)

• Space for folded cash

• Hand-burnished edges

• Full-grain leather that develops character with age

• Built to wear in, not wear out

I also keep things sustainable wherever possible:

• No plastic used in packaging

• Made from responsibly sourced leather

• can be fully personalised to suit individual preferences

What I love most about full-grain leather is how it tells a story over time. The patina becomes unique to every person carrying this.

Curious to hear your thoughts

Minimalist card holder

Another piece from the early days of my leather crafting journey.

This is a handmade minimalist card holder crafted using black & tan full-grain leather.

• 3 card slots

• Holds up to 2 cards per slot + folded cash

• Fully saddle stitched by hand using 1mm off white thread

Looking back at it now, I’ve switched to 0.8mm thread since it gives a much cleaner and more refined finish — and honestly, seeing the progress from then to now has been pretty satisfying. I’ll be posting the newer versions soon.

There’s something about simple, functional carry pieces that never gets old.

Would you carry a minimalist wallet like this, or do you prefer traditional style wallets? Curious to hear your thoughts

Minimalist card holder

Here is another card holder I had made at the beginning of my leather crafting journey

Materials amd specs below :

Hand made minimalist card holder Black and green full grain leather

3 card slots can hold 2 cards each and folded notes Saddle stitched by hand using off white thread (1 mm)

However I have switched to 0.8 mm now and they look much cleaner.

Will be posting them soon. The edges aren't bevelled after sanding down here hence probably look shabby

Will be posting improvements and upgrades oncyje finishing of the wallets soon

I recently got a edge beveler from Amazon. However there are so many options of edge bevelers. Please suggest what should be my next upgrade.
