There are many similar cardholder out there but I drew the pattern for this one myself.

Made from a single piece (kind of a big T shape), veg-tan leather, hand dyed, and saddle stitched with linen thread.

There’s a coin compartment, and another one that will easily fit 5-6 cards.

As always, happy to share any details.

    Damn, it looks really nice. Love the colors. Did you dye it yourself? What kind of dye is used on leather?

      Vegan leather, so presumably soy based ;-)

      I use dyes from a company called Fiebings on leather projects, but I’m not OP.

        I too use fiebings. Also, as actionjbone mentionned, it’s vegetable tanned leather indeed, not vegan leather.

          Very nice project, I want to get back into the hobby… I always had trouble getting the knot stitch right, dyslexia makes the oddest things a challenge 😌

      I use fiebings, they have two type of dye, the regular and the ‘pro’ one. Regular dye are alcohol based, and the pro one have a mix of oil and alcohol. I mostly use the pro dye, but I’ve had good results with both.

      The one I used here is their royal blue pro dye.
