Build Your Own Mid Wallet

Description

The traditional bifold design is great, but there is no denying that it is a little large for what it does. And while minimalist wallets are very interesting, many people aren’t willing to sacrifice what they carry for the sake of a smaller wallet. Wouldn’t it be great if there was something in between the two options?

Enter the Mid Wallet.

This design is ideal for someone who needs to carry 4-8 cards, and only occasionally carries bills or other papers. Behind each bank of cards is a hidden slot that easily carries business cards or folded bills. For those that carry paper bills more regularly, there is an optional external billfold dedicated to that purpose, able to hold any US and most international denominations when folded in half. This little wallet does all this and measures only 3″ x 4″ when folded.

These wallets are made with Italian ‘Buttero’ (meaning Cowboy) vegetable tanned leather from Conceria Walpier tannery in Tuscany. Buttero is prized for its rich depth of color, smooth consistent grain finish and patina development over time and use. Every wallet is completely hand stitched with waxed polyester thread, meaning that these features combine to make a wallet that looks beautiful and is also long lasting.

Every wallet is a hand made item from start to finish. That includes cutting, assembling, stitching and edge finishing. These are made to my own design and dimensions so I feel confident in saying that these are truly my wallets, even if the inspiration is common to many others like them.

Depending on my queue at the time, it takes me on average 3-4 weeks to fulfill an order. This length of time can be longer if I have a lot of orders ahead but I try to keep my customers appraised of how long they can expect to wait to receive their wallet. When completed, I ship via USPS Priority Mail with insurance.
