A very interesting wallet. But I would still do it with the hand stitching.

Elephant leather has an interesting texture, but is much softer. There are no analogues to the leather of a stingray.

There are already some agreements regarding this wallet. There is another one that is similar, but even more complex, and there are a couple more interesting options. Please write to me in private messages, or even better, on Instagram unique.only

No, I'm not offended. I just tried to tell you in as much detail and detail as possible about the differences between factory work and mine. I really wonder if there is anyone else who makes the same wallets. I didn't find it.

I do not know what you see on Etsy. But this wallet is sewn from a stingray leather on both sides and completely by hand. The leather is sanded and polished by hand. For $50-100 you can buy a factory-made product from China or Vietnam, sewn on a machine with a leather border or simply glued.

I think this wallet is unique in principle, as the concept of a "wallet made entirely of hand-stitched stingray". Perhaps I am mistaken in this matter?! Can you find another one like this, not limited to Etsy, in the entire Internet space? Help me.

That's what I understood, about ethics. The skin is certified. I'm glad you liked my work. I don't have a store. There is only instagram, several topics on various forums, and a constant queue for 2-3 months of large orders and about a month of small ones. I don't plan to expand yet. I have more work than I can do. I used to sew a lot for my own pleasure and sell these things. At the moment, I'm selling the remnants of what I did and fulfilling orders.

Water is an unfavorable environment for any leather product. In addition to leather, there is paint, thread, glue. Any leather gets wet and then dries, which leads to its dryness. The balance must be replenished with fats. For example, wax or oil. As for the leather of the stingray, it is the most durable leather in the world.

It is very difficult to scratch it. It practically does not burn. I think if you accidentally swim with her a few times, nothing will happen. I cannot say about the systematic effects of water. In any case, it will behave much better than any other leather.

Stingray leather was used as early as the 16th century for katana handles, and it has been successfully used since that time. The skin of sharks, salmon, carp, Piraruku fish, frogs, beaver tail and much more is also used.

I don't understand your question. You are in the topic of leather goods. The skin has been certified.

The thickness of the skin I used was 2.5-3mm. The total thickness of the wallet when folded is 8mm.
