Money Clip wallet in buttery (Hermes famed) Gold Brown Barenia. Absolutely minimalist design with just a clip and two slightly oversized card slots on each side to allow more than one card to be slotted in. Stitched together with French linen threads and Japanese made money clip hardware. As always, the Barenia leather is set to take on a beautiful patina over time as it gets slightly darker in color with a unique sheen / gloss that is only achievable through patina set across the passage of time. . Will post up a close up shot of how the clip hardware it integrated into the wallet in my next post. . Separately, I’m elated to announce www.heicrafted.com is finally up and running. A collection of ready-to-go & made-to-order leather goods will slowly but steadily be released in time. This platform serves both clients looking for find leather goods and fellow craftsmen. As many know, I thoroughly enjoy sharing my craft and the tools I curate (or shamelessly hoard and collect). In small batches, i intend to curate more stock of unique tools I find across time and make them available here. Simultaneously this aims to provide awareness of the craftsmen making these tools. For a start, it’s launching with a very small set of burnishers I personally enjoy using. Thank you everyone that has been asking and supporting a platform to purchase ready items. Really appreciate your input. Please let me know if you have any feedback. Thank you ! . #heicrafted #handmade #handtools #handcrafted #handcraft #handstitched #handwork #bespoke #custom #madeinsg #style  #leather #leatherwork #leathercraft #leathercrafttools #menstyle #menfashion #luxurylife #sgmakers #sgcrafters #thosewhomake #craft #sajou #linenthread
