I made this at my kitchen table all by hand. It’s my old man hobby! This is my version of Louis Vuitton’s pocket organizer wallet.

This wallet is hand cut, hand stitched and hand finished. It’s made with Epi and Wickett & Craig glazed harness leathers. The edges are especially sanded and painted to get that super smooth look. These things are a labor of love. They take me about a week to make including old man nap breaks.

Happy to answer any questions or get your feedback.

I too wanted to make my own c-notes by hand, but apparently that is illegal. Like very illegal. Which is weird, because someone makes them.

put some RFID in it and ill buy it from you if you throw it up on etsy or something

There's no harm in RFID blocking, but there's also no benefit. It's a placebo for technophobes

4 years ago | Likes 12 Dislikes 0

Waskerd on Etsy does things like this. I bought a wallet from him in 2018, and so far it seems like it's going to last a while longer.

I should bloody hope so! I have an El Charro wallet from the "90s and it is still in perfect order. Used every day

Is having the RFID technology really necessary? Asking honestly. It's that big of a problem?

4 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

RFID Blocking is pointless, nobody has ever been victim of RFID theft.

This is so wrong it's funny. People steal rfid all the time, from credit cards to access cards, they're all targets

Why do you want RFID blocker? If you have more than one chip in the wallet, it cant be read anyway.

4 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 1

I didn't know just having more than one solved this!

4 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Easy way to confirm it: try just pushing your wallet on the card reader when making a purchase.

RFID? (Looks amazing btw!)

Aluminum mesh in between the back plate of the wallet will RFID block, from what I've researched while making leather wallets

What is bad about RFID and why do people need to block signals in their wallets?

4 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

Small amounts can be paid without contact or PIN with debet cards that have RFID. In theory, someone could steal up to €50 without 1/2

4 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Hope that helps

4 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

Some people's cards have RFID chips in them which if you get a portable scanner you can just steal their card info, which is obvious bad lol
