MAKE TIME: 
VIDEO TUTORIAL
In this video, Ellie will teach you how to condition, stamp, and construct your wallet!
KIT CONTENTS
This kit includes all of the leather and hardware needed to make your wallet.
- · (1) Pre-cut, hole-punched leather piece
- · (1) Magentic snap
- · (8) Brass double-cap rivets
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.
LEATHER CARE
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.
Waxed canvas is the original water-resistant fabric. It's a densely-woven cotton fabric that
has been saturated with wax, giving it an extra layer of protection. Waxed canvas shows scuffs, marks
and creases that blend into a weathered patina with age.
Our leather is sourced locally at Oregon Leather, as well as from a tannery in
Pennsylvania, and hand-selected for its quality. Our hides are cut into straps with a
hydraulic press to ensure precision and consistency. NOTE: Our tan leather might feel stiff at
first, but it will soften and darken to a lovely caramel brown with use.
Hardware can take a bag from looking homemade to truly professional—and it's not hard to
do! With a few basic tools, you'll be able to set rivets, snaps, magnetic closures and more. All of
our hardware is real metal and strong enough to hold up to years of wear and tear.
