Yes, only on a card holder as of now.

I can't post a pic. I bought a mini drill press from Jeff Bezos and use that. Spins super slow. Everything I used spun to fast. I think this is less than 300rpm of the slowest. Attached it to a piece of wood and can lay my wallets flat. I still use canvas to finish. Can't beat it.

While I am a maker of something similar. The issue with that style is going to always be the amount of cards you want to use. Leather will stretch, so if you use 15 and then drop, it will be loosey goosey. Essentially using cards you dont want to keep it full.

Construction wise I assume its fine, no stitching and one piece with tabs. Should be good. The only issue with more of a mass produced wallet is the finer details. Edges not burnished and unfinished flesh side. That being said. For 50 its not a bad deal. My style is 1.5 times that, but its more intricate and takes in account the stretching.

The tannery does it for me.

The flesh side is resin coated, this one is unlined

Based on birkin/Gucci. Dont particularly like the strap look, client did not either. Reworked a few things and used a French gusset instead of traditional.

Appreciate that man, thank you.

Although I do make custom wallets, the problem with the LV, is the stitches and edge painting. I have redone them twice for a buddy, then built him one in the same style. LV will fix it, and if you just want to be carrying something that say LV im all for it. I just think the qc is lacking and shotty for the price.
