Personalization options

You can apply various personalizations to the wallet. Choose between the trapunto technique, textile labels, pocket patches or rivets to personalize your wallet.

Trapunto technology

In this process, shapes made of leather fiber fabric are glued between the leather and the lining and shaped against a solid base with an edge shaper. The result is a raised 3D effect that is more striking than the embossing due to the letter height of 6 cm.

The technique is implemented by yourself (video tutorial available) and is best realized with our smooth leather or another thinner leather.

Here you choose:

  • Prefabricated letters or motifs with a height of 6 cm
  • Alternative material in one piece to create your own patterns and shapes

Level of difficulty

Great for beginners!

Whether you're a DIY pro or have never worked with leather before, our step-by-step instructions and video tutorials on the basics of leather processing will give you all the information you need to make this wallet by hand yourself.

As the materials are already cut out and provided with seam holes, they fit together exactly. You only have to make the small hole for the position of the fastening screw yourself - this is easy to do with an awl.

This way, nothing can go wrong and you can start making your DIY box as soon as you receive it. Let's get started!

Sounds long? It is!
As we produce most products manually to order with great attention to detail, we need this time. The made-to-order production process also allows us to offer you several products in different leather colors instead of just one pre-produced model. Furthermore, we only produce what has actually been purchased - for a responsible use of our resources.

Further information on the production of your leather accessories

How does it work?

Our DIY box is designed so that you can make your accessory without any prior knowledge of leather crafts. All the materials you need are included in the DIY box, so you don't have to buy anything extra. 

The highlight of our DIY boxes:

The parts are already cut and provided with holes for sewing. This means we can guarantee that everything fits together perfectly and that you can sew your leather accessory by hand without any effort. We also make sure that we only use metal accessories that can be attached without special machines and are still securely fastened.

As soon as you have put together your DIY box, you will receive an email from us with the order confirmation and access to the instructions and basic videos. You can then watch these in advance or when your DIY box arrives. And then you can get started! 

Is the project suitable for beginners?

Our clear answer: YES! 

Why are we so sure about this?

Because over 7,000 people have already sewn one of our DIY boxes and over 92% of our customers have never worked with leather before or have only completed small craft projects. Because the leather craft techniques of gluing, sewing and edgebanding are always repeated and we have created detailed explanatory videos for all three topics, you will have learned everything you need to make your leather accessory in just a few minutes. 

What's more, the leather parts are already cut to size and provided with seam holes. So technically speaking, there is only one sensible way to fit the parts together. Of course, we have also explained this with photos and text in our step-by-step instructions. 

If, contrary to expectations, you do have any questions, our popular and highly rated customer support team will be happy to help you. You can reach us from Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. via email at [email protected].

An important note: 

This DIY project is perfect for you if you like trying out new things and generally have a certain affinity for DIY and handicrafts. You don't have to be particularly skilled, but you should still enjoy making things yourself and be willing to learn new techniques.

How long does production take?

As a rough guide, the wallet takes approx. 4 to 5 hours to make (including drying time for the edge color). If you have never made a leather accessory before and are watching the instructions and videos for the first time, it may take a little longer.

Sounds long? 

And it is! But in the end, that's what distinguishes handmade items from fast fashion. Many of our customers say that they have a completely different appreciation for their handmade products and are incredibly proud to own a 100% individual and handmade handbag. And beware: danger of addiction!

So if you want some me-time, a balance to your everyday life or some creative time with friends and you enjoy learning new techniques, then the time will fly by. You can also split up the steps really easily. Another advantage: the production doesn't take up much space and you can pack and unpack your DIY box whenever you have time. 

Where do the leather and other materials come from?

The leather in our standard collection comes from a tannery in Veneto that has been working with leather for more than 20 years and supplies many well-known luxury leather goods labels. Using innovative methods, particularly in the area of water treatment and resource-saving techniques, the tannery combines traditional craftsmanship with modern expertise.

The leathers in our Special Editions mostly come from surplus sales from Tuscany or are our own productions that we have commissioned from Italian tanneries. Overhang sales are leftover stock from large luxury leather goods labels that no longer want to use these leathers as they work with seasonal collections. The leathers are carefully selected by us on site so that we can also offer very good quality and great special features. Treasure hunt, next level!

The other materials such as metal accessories, webbing and other supplementary items come from suppliers in the leather processing industry. We source these from all over the world, but in particular from Italy, Spain, Portugal, China and France, depending on where we find the best product for your DIY box.
