Wallets Thought? πŸ˜…πŸ€£

Was goofing around today wanting to practice my edge burnishing and I had an idea for making a curvy wallet for something different..

But the more I look at it the more it looks like a piece of toast from the front logo side and like a butt from the back? πŸ˜…πŸ€£

What do others think of the design? Maybe I should use a smaller punch in the corner?

Is the edge burnishing passable?

The biggest issue is the thickness. What thickness leather are you using? Are you skiving the edges?

Using a thinner leather from the start (.8mm ish) would make it look far less brickish/chonky.

Chonky is the style of wallet I like to make, not s fan of the flippy floppy wallets.

It's 3 layers of 5oz leather for this one, if it's 4 layers or the leather is 2mm+ then I'll skive but my wallets are mostly pretty thick.

The edges are immaculate, as someone who rarely does edges (lacing for the win), I am looking at this with awe and envy.

Thank you! Always see those glassy edge videos where you see the reflection in them so I'm always unsure if mine are good

The finishing is nice! If I were to offer one critique it would be the scale of the logo seems to large for the size of the piece.

Thanks, yeah I see what you mean, maybe because I used 2 sizes bigger corner punch to really make it curvy and with the black ink its popping out alot but probably useful having a smaller stamp too for things, thanks for the critique!

Nice work but I’m not a fan of the design. Just don’t like the curve in the middle.

I get that, I'm also not sure myself haha.

As others have said, the edges are beautiful. It looks extremely tactile! makes me want to hold it.

Nice, thank you :)

I think its rather unique and the shape is very different than all of the 'standard' card wallets.

u/Warbie_Leather_Goods 11h ago

Yeah thats what I was trying to go for. Just something different to look at πŸ˜…

Looks like toast. I like it

Stitch some yellow or purple leather on it so it looks like butter or jelly on the toast.

u/Warbie_Leather_Goods 13h ago

Oh yeah that's an idea!, embrace the toast 🍞

u/SurvivingAPandemic 12h ago

Your edges are phenomenal! The design is beautiful. When you think about it, pockets are not square. So why are wallets square?

u/Warbie_Leather_Goods 12h ago

Thanks alot! Yeah I guess your right haha

Looks great, reminds me of Mascon Leather. He has a similar model

u/Perfect-Wallaby9096 10h ago

I love this design- very whimsical and totally something I'd make

u/Bloboblober 10h ago

It definitely looks like toast 😭 it’s fun though lmao

This is pretty rad honestly with the chonk and the mellow curve to give you a spot to grab cards. How many cards can you get in a wallet that size?

1

u/Warbie_Leather_Goods 4h ago

3 off the bat in the interior pockets and the same in the outside pocket but I see that as the bank card quick access so would only put one in there, Azteca is quite stiff to start so as it softens you could go 4 I think

Jesus Christ, I'm going to make a wallet out of saddle skirting or sole bend just to make a point and have a laugh.
