Hello Creatives!
I’m looking for Uber-talented artisans to collaborate with on custom commissions. Bonus points if you have experience mixing metal & leather. Saddle stitching preferred. Reasonable pricing and a collaborative attitude are what I’m looking for. Sample photos for reference of similar bags I’m looking to create. Preference for artisans who reside outside of the United States. Must verify work via IG. I will not consider Discord based artisans. Cheers and looking forward to connecting!

Hey guys. I've been lurking here for awhile as I'm tired of burning through cheap wallets every 2 years. The one thing I've noticed is I've never seen a wallet with a chain hole on it in this sub. Is that blasphemy? Thanks!

I recently finished this compact bifold card wallet for a customer and wanted to share it here.

The wallet measures just 7.8 × 10.2 cm, with 5 card slots and 2 hidden compartments. It fits comfortably in the palm of your hand and easily slips into a shirt or jacket pocket.

It keeps the traditional bifold design in a smaller, more convenient form.

For the exterior, I used Himalayan Niloticus crocodile leather from Heng Long Tannery, paired with Marine Alran Sully chèvre for the interior.

I’ve always been impressed by the quality of leather from Heng Long Tannery. Their hides have excellent quality and finishing. While they come at a premium price, I believe they’re well worth it.

At the customer's request, I also added a small pocket made from Himalayan Niloticus leather to the interior as a distinctive detail.

As with my other pieces, the entire wallet was handmade by me, including the saddle stitching with 0.45 mm Meisi linen thread.

This wallet is made to order and not kept in stock. If you’re interested in having something similar made, feel free to message me. We can discuss leather options, color combinations, customization, and estimated production and shipping times.

Recently completed this custom order Flâneur Glasses case.

Made from Epsom calfskin in brown and black Sully goatskin.

The Flâneur glasses case is perfect for days around the town where you are in and out of buildings, or on a semi cloudy day. The case keeps your glasses safely stored on your bag, belt loop, or lanyard.

Also open to buying, but I was pointed here from r/craftexchange! I'm in the market for a decent amount of leather goods (a few belts, a dopp kit, and a couple tote bags) and potentially tools to get into the hobby myself - thought it could be fun to trade skills for any or all of the above. I mostly knit and dye fabric, but I also have some supplies that could prove useful to someone!

The picture above has a small lot of Gutermann Mara thread, an amount of camel leather I'd be willing to send someone, and a wool/silk cowl I'm happy to send over or recreate! I do knit anything from hats to larger sweaters and shawls, so happy to discuss a larger trade if anyone would be interested.

Apologies if this isn't necessarily the right venue, but everyone's work here is incredible!

Hi everyone!
I’m looking for a skilled leather goods maker or small workshop to collaborate with and hopefully build a long-term working relationship.
I’m especially interested in independent craftspeople, small mom-and-pop workshops, talented leather artisans, or even students with exceptional skills. You don’t need to be a large manufacturer. Quality, craftsmanship, attention to detail, and good communication are what matter most to me.
A little about what I’m looking for:
Location: Ideally Manhattan, Brooklyn, or the surrounding NYC area so I can be hands-on throughout the development process. I’m also open to Paris or Milan, as I travel to both regularly for work.
Initial projects: Two leather handbags — one relatively simple everyday shoulder bag and one more detailed, structured handbag.
Production: I’d like to start with developing and perfecting the two samples, then move into small-batch or made-to-order production. I’m not looking for large-scale manufacturing.
Materials: I’ve already sourced quality leathers in Paris and can arrange to have the hides shipped directly to your workshop.
Long-term potential: I have several other designs I’d eventually like to develop, but I’d prefer to start with these two and build a strong working relationship.
I’m particularly interested in working with someone who genuinely loves the craft and takes pride in making beautiful, exceptionally well-constructed leather goods.
Small workshops, independent makers, experienced craftspeople, and talented students are all very welcome. I’m more interested in the quality of someone’s work than the size or reputation of their business.
If this sounds like you, or you know someone who might be a good fit, I’d love to connect. Feel free to comment or send me a DM with examples of your work!
Thanks!

Hey everyone.

I do on site job in factory. I deal with sweat, water, and machine oil all day long, and I need a front-pocket wallet that can actually survive without turning into a sponge.

Right now I carry a little envelope wallet. I like the compact size, but I'm completely sick of having to fold my cash three or four times just to shove it in there. And maybe because of oil and sweat it's cracked bond of leather

I want to commission something custom. I’m completely open to the overall shape (maybe a slim vertical half-fold?), as long as it solves my cash problem and stays relatively thin.

Basically, It has to fit US bills folded exactly once (half-fold) and hold a 4-5 cards.

and I need some fun detail my girlfriend gave me a one coin for luck(size around quarter). I never take it out. I just need a tiny, super-tight "hidden pocket" or slit (maybe behind the cards or cash) where I can shove this single coin so it never falls out. I don't want a bulky zipper or snap pouch just for one coin.

Heavy oil-tanned or waxed stuff. Think Horween CXL, Dublin, Wickett & Craig Harness, or SB Foot. Something loaded with oils to naturally repel grease and water. I just investigate through internet that I'm open to all different leather if it's strong enough.

Lastly, 100% hand saddle-stitching with thick thread. Edges need to be properly burnished. No edge paint that peels off, and definitely no raw edges left open to soak up oil.

I’m hoping to keep this under $100 USD if possible. I don't need a delicate luxury piece, just a rigged one.

Appreciate it.

This is BRAVO, one of my handcrafted leather bag designs, featuring a bold combination of navy blue and orange.

The bag is made entirely by hand using premium Epsom calfskin and soft suede leather. I wanted to create a contrast not only in color but also in texture, combining the structured, finely grained surface of Epsom leather with the softness of suede.

Each BRAVO bag takes approximately 60 hours of hands-on craftsmanship to complete, from cutting and preparing the leather to stitching, assembling, and finishing every detail.

Details:

• Materials: Epsom calfskin & suede leather
• Colors: Navy blue & orange (custom color combinations available upon request).
• Craftsmanship: Fully handmade
• Production time: Approximately 60 hours
• Price: $1,950 USD
• Lead time: 30 days (made to order)

I really enjoy working with contrasting colors and textures, especially when they bring a unique personality to a classic bag design.

Thanks for taking a look at my work!

I want a belt of this style. Very simple, nothing to it. It will be abused. No stitching, nothing fancy.

34 pant size.

NATURAL COLOR - Possibly Chesnut or Buck Brown

I like the oversized looking buckle and holes.

I want the edges burnished or painted

Possibly a slightly wider keeper

Just wanted to share a recent build—a compact vertical bifold with a matching key fob.

Build Details:

Leather: Brown Pueblo 4oz

Thread: Beige Ritza Tiger Thread 1.0mm

Features: 4 card slots + 2 hidden pockets behind them for extra cards or folded cash. Rounded corners and burnished edges.

Really love working with Pueblo leather— feels amazing in hand and it develops a beautiful patina over time.

Let me know what you think!

Made myself a prototype wallet to test out - One that I'm thinking of calling The Billet.

Why The Billet?

Sheffield's identity is built around the transformation of raw metal into something useful through skill and craftsmanship - Not unlike my leather wallets.

This one is made from Horween Dublin Nut Brown for the outside, Horween Aspen Black for the lining, Nut Brown & Mocha Horween Dublin for the inside pockets handstitched with Cream 1mm Ritza Tiger Thread.

Sharing my latest piece. The top band, corners, handles and base are in dark red scale-embossed leather, and the front and back panels are smooth cream leather.

Everything was cut and stitched by hand, about five days of work. The handles are 5 in (12.7 cm) drop, and I added four metal feet so the base never touches the floor.

The strap is cream woven webbing with an embossed red leather overlay, removable, up to 41 in (105 cm). Body is 15.7 x 12.6 x 5.5 in (40 x 32 x 14 cm).

Happy to answer questions about the construction.

Want to purchase a good quality full grain leather belt from UK. Would be great if someone can help and share some suggestions in different price ranges.
Budget is flexible but I need a good belt.

Done with belts that break apart in a year or so!

Corium Marbled Shell Cordovan — what do you think?
Sharing some of our Corium Marbled Shell Cordovan. The colour variations and swirling patterns give each piece its own character.
What do you think of this finish, and what would you make with it? Curious to hear your thoughts.

I sewed wallets for about 3 years, quit around 2020 because selling was the hard part, and came back after I saw there was demand. This is the wallet I'm making now.

Price: CHF 89, free shipping within Switzerland. Ships from Switzerland in a kraft gift box.

It's about 9.5 x 8 cm. I gave it 2 snaps, 2 outer card slots with a thumb cutout (you can tap to pay without pulling the card out), a coin pocket with a spring frame and a magnet, and a full-length slot for notes. Waxed Crazy Horse outside, suede-look lining inside, every seam by hand.

This is a PDF pattern for a leather deck box in four design variations that you can easily make for yourself, for friends or to sell. The deck box pattern comes in separate files suitable for if you want to craft this by hand or with the help of a laser engraver/laser cutter.

The deck boxes are made to comfortably fit 100 double sleeved cards.

The design variations are:

Magic runes

Dragon scales - ornate

Dragon scales - simpler

Plain - design or tool completely how you like it yourself! :)

The pattern is designed with no stitching in mind, so it is both easier to make and requires much less time. Few specific leatherworking tools are required which makes this project great for a beginner as well as a more experienced leatherworker. You get the pattern as well as a separate document with 16 pages of detailed and easy to follow instructions with pictures on how to prepare and how to assemble the deck box.

The outer dimensions of the finished boxes are about 115mm tall, 80mm wide and about 85mm deep.

The pattern comes in two printing sizes: a4 for Europeans and letter size (8.5x11) for Americans.
