Shell Cordovan & Aniline Kangaroo Wallet

[conceptdiba]

Hey all, just wanted to share this latest creation.

The outer is whiskey Horween shell cordovan and the inside is aniline Italian kangaroo. It's fully hand-stitched with waxed irish linen thread matching the outer and inner. I'm pretty happy with it but I'm most likely re-doing it with straight slots with a folded edge. Comments and criticism always welcome!

Very nice work. I really like the color combination. Why go to straight slots and folded edge?

I agree. You have a nice, clean look. Experimentation is a good thing, but you should be happy with what you already have, too. Very professional-looking!

Thanks for the comments guys.

What happened originally is that I did a very similar wallet, except in thicker undyed veg-tan leather and it looked great and sold well. I think the problem is that the curved slots work a lot better for a more casual wallet. I think this wallet looks a lot more refined and classic and the curved slots just dont go with the whole image. I'm not even 100% sure about straight slots, I think it might be playing it too safe. I think maybe a straight but slightly angled slot might be something cool to try. I'll make another thread when I get around to it!
