Made my own card wallet from scrap materials

[admin]

I prefer to use a card wallet as I don’t like to carry too many things. I was using a black leather Banana Republic one for quite some time. But is was something generic looking just like a lot of black leather wallets out there.

So I decide to make my own. I had some nice leather from the design firm I used to work at. The materials library gets purged every year and I took advantage of snagging stuff that would otherwise go into the dumpster. What a waste! I also snagged some titanium sheets that I already turned into money clips and gave away as presents.

Anywho I used silk thread for stitching and then popped in a stainless steel eyelet for a future retention lanyard if I wanted to. I then punched in my logo in the corner of the leather too.

The cyan colored one I made two of. One for each of us. I made the black one for my more formal occasions when the cyan and red are too bright.

Here’s a couple images of my “Kate” wallet. Named after my wife. I made the first cyan one for her
