Everything measured.
A handmade long leather wallet in Ceylon black buffalo with a Woody red interior, cut and saddle-stitched by hand in Sri Lanka. Twelve card slots and three full-length cash compartments — notes lie flat, unfolded.
The Caleb is for people who actually carry things. Cards, several currencies, receipts, tickets. At 18.5 cm folded it is a jacket-pocket wallet rather than a trouser one, and it is built to stay flat rather than swelling into a brick.
Ceylon buffalo is our house leather, made here on the island — firm enough to hold that long fold crisply, broken in within weeks. The Woody red inside is the part only you see.
What it holds
- 12 card slots
- 3 long cash compartments
- 18.5 cm (H) × 9.8 cm (W) folded

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.
