In 2006 I rode my bicycle across the US on an old steel bicycle with a Brooks saddle. I have always admired the strength and durability of these old saddles. When I first started leatherwork on 2010 I wanted to create a wallet as durable as those saddles. The design was completely unique at the time and was very popular on Etsy. Over the years the wallet has been updated and had the design tweaked for better performance. Flash forward to 2024 the wallet is completely handmade with beautiful Italian Vachetta leather and hand hammered copper rivets. It is a full size wallet about 4.5"×4"×.5 (once broken in). I have been testing and using this wallet and believe it is unmatched in durability. The card pockets hold 3-4 cards in each pocket and the spacious cash compartment can hold any currency. Available in three beautiful colors Very Dark Brown which appears almost black under certain lighting conditions Black which is popular with people that like traditional things And Walnut which is a nice contemporary shade of medium Brown

    This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.

I have been creating custom leatherwork for the last 9 years on Etsy and my own shop. I focus on belts with handmade hardware but can also make bags and wallets. In the last 9 years one of the few things I have made is a saddle. If it is not a saddle I can probably help.

I can use many of the top leathers from all over the world.

I can saddle stitch by hand or use an industrial sewing machine.

I am able to create custom tooling and designwork as well as create custom metal hardware.

I travelled across the US on my bicycle and operated a bicycle taxi for 12 years and focus on making things with a high level of durability for active hard working folks.

    I'm a repeat customer and my latest project with Bill was something for myself. Bill is easy to work with and I already knew his work would be amazing. I'm so happy and will wear my belt every day for the rest of my life.

    The belts are so beautiful and my husband (hard to buy for) was impressed at the quality of materials and workmanship. Bill was responsive as we did have several back and forths with decisions on details. I met him for pick up as I was local. Bill was great to work with and I plan to be back for more belts. Actually just thought of an idea for myself.
