Everything measured.
A handmade leather clutch wallet for women in Woody wine red, cut and stitched by hand in Sri Lanka. Cards, notes, receipts and a phone, all in one piece.
Wine red is a difficult colour to carry off in leather — most attempts land somewhere near burgundy plastic. What saves this one is the Woody grain underneath. It is deep and pronounced, running through the hide rather than printed on, so the red sits darker in the low points and lifts on the high ones. It reads as leather that happens to be red, not as red applied to leather.
It also holds that colour hard, which matters in a piece this size that lives in a handbag.
What it holds
- 6 card pockets
- 2 hidden pockets
- 1 large pocket for cash or a phone
- 1 flap pocket, secured with 2 metal studs
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.
