Finding the Perfect Handmade Leather Wallet

Finding the Perfect Handmade Leather Wallet

Crafting the finest handmade leather wallet is no easy feat. Over the past five years, I’ve meticulously refined every detail—adjusting card slots by millimetres, perfecting folds, and ensuring each edge exudes craftsmanship. The goal? To create the ultimate handmade, vegetable-tanned leather wallet right here in the UK.

Wallets hold a unique place in our lives. For many—men especially—they’re not merely accessories but essential, everyday companions. Practicality and elegance go hand in hand, with preferences ranging from compact to spacious, minimalist to feature-packed. This challenge has captivated me, and after countless iterations, conversations, and moments of reflection, I've embraced one key design philosophy: simplicity always triumphs.

Now, I invite you to explore the revamped CARV wallet and card holder collection—each piece a testament to British craftsmanship, made with love, care, and a touch of timeless sophistication.
