Everything measured.
A handmade leather wallet in reddish brown Italian calf, vegetable tanned and stitched by hand in Sri Lanka. The Hugo is the slim pattern — four cards, one cash pocket, and nothing you do not need.
Italian calf is the finest-grained hide on the bench. The surface is tight and even, almost closed to the eye, and it burnishes to a harder, glassier edge than anything coarser. At this size that matters more than usual: a slim wallet is mostly edge, and edges are where the work shows.
Vegetable tanned, so nothing is sealed over the grain. The reddish tone will deepen through the first year and gloss along the fold.
What it holds
- 4 card pockets
- 1 full-length cash pocket
- Approximately 11 cm × 8 cm
Repaired for as long as you own it, and the labour is on us.
Straight answers.
When will it reach me?
+
Within Sri Lanka — dispatched within 72 working hours.
Anywhere else — the rate depends on the country, so it is quoted per order. Message +94 77 969 6203 on WhatsApp with the piece and where it is going, and we will send the exact figure before you pay a rupee.
What if the cards don't fit?
+
In the first week the slots are usually tight. That is normal — the leather has to mould to what you carry, and it will.
If it still is not right after that, send it back. We will fix it and send it back to you.
Can you repair it later?
+
Yes — for as long as you own it, and we do not charge for the labour. Not for the first year. For as long as it is yours.
You cover only the materials a repair actually needs, and the shipping both ways.
How do I look after it?
+
Condition it roughly every six months. That is the whole routine — more than that softens the fibres and the piece loses its shape.
Your first three conditionings we do for you. Send it in and cover the shipping; the work is ours. Or do it at home — see leather care.
Why does hand stitching cost more?
+
A machine lock-stitch is one thread looping through itself. Cut it anywhere and the seam runs. A saddle stitch is two needles crossing in every hole — cut one thread and it still holds.
It takes far longer by hand, and that time is the whole of the price difference.
