Everything measured.
A handmade ostrich leather bifold wallet, cut and stitched by hand in Sri Lanka. This is the rarest hide I work with, and the only one where I cannot promise you a second wallet that looks the same.
The bumps are quill follicles — where the feathers sat. They run in a crown across part of the skin and fade out towards the edges, so no two panels are alike and no two wallets come out matching. Under the hand it is soft and slightly springy, unlike any cowhide. It softens further with carrying and keeps its pattern completely.
What it holds
- 6 card slots
- 2 hidden side pockets
- 1 full-length cash pocket
- 4.3” × 3.5” closed
Living with it
Keep it out of heavy rain and condition it sparingly — far less than you would a cow hide. Ostrich is priced the way rare and difficult things are priced; cutting it well takes more of the skin than you would think, and most of a panel goes to waste.
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.
