A little while ago I shared one of my handmade cat wallets here, and I honestly wasn’t expecting the response it got. The post ended up getting over 200k views, and thanks to all of you, I received several more orders.

I just wanted to say thank you. Reading all the comments, seeing people share them with friends, and getting messages from cat lovers genuinely made my week.

A lot of folks asked to see some additional color variations so here is the next batch I’m working on. Every one is handmade from Italian leather, and it’s always fun seeing how different leather and thread colors give each cat its own personality.

Thanks again for all the support. It’s been incredibly motivating as a small leather maker.

Please check my comment or profile for the Etsy shop and Instagram!

Few materials are as iconic as Shell Cordovan.

This handcrafted glasses case was made from blue Rocado Shell Cordovan, allowing the leather’s natural depth, luster, and character to take center stage. Designed with clean lines and a minimalist profile, it’s a piece that will age gracefully alongside the eyewear it protects.

Timeless materials. Thoughtful craftsmanship. Built for a lifetime of use.

If you’re interested please feel free to send me a message, I’d love to help you make something unique!

Just finished another custom cat coin purse for an Etsy customer.

This one was made from olive Buttero leather with havanna cigar thread, beige whiskers and zipper pull details, and a pink nose. I love seeing how different color combinations completely change the personality of these little cat wallets.

The paws unsnap to reveal a hidden card pocket, and the zippered compartment is great for coins, cash, earbuds, and other small everyday items.

I’ve been getting some great feedback on these since launching them, and it’s been a lot of fun working with customers to create unique color combinations.

If you’d like one of your own, they’re fully customizable and available here:

Finished up this custom cat coin purse in olive Italian Buttero leather with havanna cigar thread, beige whiskers, and a pink nose.

I’ve really enjoyed making these lately because every customer chooses different colors, and each one ends up with its own personality. This one is probably my favorite combination so far.

The paws unsnap to reveal a hidden card pocket, and the zippered compartment holds coins, cash, or other small essentials.

Always open to feedback and suggestions from fellow makers!

Edit: Thank you all so much for all of your kind words and support! I am so excited to be making these and I am excited to work with you all. For anyone who is interested and as a thank you, code SAVE10 would hypothetically work on a listing for these 😉

I’ve received such great feedback on the first few of these handmade Italian leather cat coin purses that I decided to officially add them to my shop.

Each one is handcrafted from premium Italian leather and features snapping paws that reveal the cat’s face and a hidden card pocket underneath. The zippered compartment is perfect for coins, cash, earbuds, or other everyday essentials.

Everything is fully customizable - from the leather color to the stitching details, zipper pull, and face accents - so every piece ends up completely unique.

Available for $120 including free domestic shipping:

Recently finished this custom coin purse and wallet for a customer using gray Pueblo leather with matching gray Ritza Tiger thread.

Really love the texture and character Pueblo leather brings to projects like this, especially paired with the monochromatic stitching.

One of my favorite pieces to make—passport holders. There’s something about building something that will travel the world that never gets old.

This one was crafted from natural Buttero leather and stitched with beige Ritza Tiger thread, designed to age beautifully with every trip it takes.
