Here is the Min/Max, a mini 4-Pocket bifold. Folded it measures just approx 3" by 4" (80x100mm). It features 2 double card pockets, and two larger multi-card/banknote pockets. It can comfortably hold 6-10 cards along with fat stacks of folded bills. Colours can be fully customized. Materials in Alt
I really need to get better at photographing my work. There is SO MUCH to learn about doing all this.
I tweaked my card pocket design to make the cards sit a little better, and added an optional thumb hole to help ease them out of the bottom pocket. This looks the same on both sides. 5-pocket card holder. Tried two different reds here. Darker is Maremma, brighter is Buterro
OA Originals - Natural Veg Tan
Another OA leather, but this time just a natural veg tan. I only use this leather for more utility focused projects like knife sheaths. Its a nice leather with tight grains and a smooth finish that I dye, seal, and condition myself
3. OA Originals - Jack Glazed Leathers
Saskatchewan based distributor OA Leather partners with multiple world renowned tanneries to produce their line of jack glaze leathers. This leather is glossy and blush with tremendous character. Lost of creasing and fat lines and variation to the colours.
2. Conceria Puccini Atillio Maremma
Another premium Italian leather. Colours are extremely rich and slightly glossy. This leather ages beautifully and patinas quickly to a lovely high gloss. Smooth and soft to the touch.
Here's a thread of the types of leather I use
1. Conceria Walpier Buterro
This Italian leather is widely regarded as some of the most premium in the world for luxury leather goods. Colours are rich and deep but not glossy. This leather develops a gorgeous patina over time and burnishes beautifully
I really like the way this turned out but in retrospect, i need a less yellow and more goldenrod thread. Its a bit too yellow. But thats fine its just a prototype that I will likely be giving away
Yeah shes ready for it
New minimalist 4-Pocket mini bifold. This little number features 2 single/double card pockets, and 2 larger multi-card/banknote pockets. It can comfortably hold 4-8 cards + bills. Measures just 80mm x 100mm when folded (apprOx 3x4"). Material details in alt text.
Thanks i really like this one. Good if you only carry a few cards.
Thanks pal!
Redesigned my double sided cardholder to make is sleeker, sexier. Same on both sides. Pretty happy with the prototype. Gonna roll this bad boy out for production.
I was thinking about that but i do a saddle stitch so it would be black on both sides and i think it would look dull on the green side. I did a redesign today I'm happy with. Will build it tomorrow.
Thanks brother!
I shined it up and it actually looks pretty good. A bit too rough to be sellable but i would never sell a prototype anyway. Mums gonna love it tho. Shoulda shined it up before taking the photos tho. We live. We learn.
Maybe i will do away with the X pocket and only do the two card pockets in pink with main body pocket in green so that one side will be two toned. That might be just the ticket.
Thanks brother!
Version 2 prototype of my watermelon card holder. Still needs a bit of work. The back 'X' pocket isnt working so I gotta figure that out. I think I will still finish the edges on it get em all glassy, then give this one to my mom. Almost there with this design.
Im going down to my crafthole to be with my leathers

Here are some more delicious leather goods. My leather goods can be boiled and consumed to ward off starvation in times of crisis. They wont taste good and all the dyes are probably poison tho so I cant recommend it especially if you dont like to be poisoned
Thank you! And yeah she really does
Thank you! Would you believe I designed it myself
