This kit includes all of the leather and hardware needed to make your wallet.

NOTE: In order to complete this project, you will also need a metal dot anvil (which can be added to your kit above), a hammer, and a hard surface. Optionally, we recommend using a bone folder to crease your leather and conditioning with leather salve for water-resistance.
To protect your wallet, we recommend conditioning it before you make with leather salve.
Because veg-tanned leather is not water-resistant, we highly recommend conditioning and protecting your wallet with leather salve, which can be applied with a horsehair brush and buffed with a flannel cloth. (Option to add to your kit above.) To learn more about leather care, visit our blog.

Leather Info
Leather is a natural material, so slight inconsistencies in color and texture are to be expected. That's part of its charm! To reduce waste, we like to use as much of the hide as possible. We're big fans of embracing a little wabi sabi imperfection around here!
Our natural, vegetable tanned leather might feel a bit stiff at first, but it will soften nicely with use. The light tan color will also darken to a lovely caramel brown with time due to sun exposure and natural oils from your hands.
