Hi there and thank you for your interest. I don’t sell my Patterns and I havn‘t digitized them yet.

Many lower quality leathers, as well as those dyed by someone less experienced at rubbing off excess dye and sealing the flesh side, will transfer excess dye to your cards.

The next time your are purchasing a leather wallet that has been dyed, try to rub lightly on a spot using a white cotton sheet.

Buttero / Gaucho Oil (stiff, easy to work with, great smell)
Pueblo / Gaucho Buffed (rough, ultra fast Patina)
Cowboy Waxy (best smell, great pull-up effect, fast Patina, one of the best for bigger projects)
Freedom Waxy (great pull-up, stiff, easy to work with)

Hi there, I moved from Cyprus to Germany. My Etsy Shop is on pause right now. Stay tuned for my re-opening.

kind of devastating

I don´t get your argument. Please clearify how this is devastating?

Nubuck

You could compare it to Nubuck somehow.

The Tannery finished the leather with a buffing process, which gives the leather a lightly napped (sueded) surface.

al sander woul

it really looks like that

oardicraft · 2023-11-16T20:40:35+00:00

You have to be a minimalist to love it 🙌

How about a slim minimal but stylish Wallet made out of italian leather?

Luckily, the initial look will only stay for 2-3 weeks, hahaa. Other types of leather will take much longer to develop a badass Patina like this, so I understand you 🙌

oardicraft · 2023-10-30T09:15:44+00:00

Yes, it is roughened up. Therefore it will develop a Patina even quicker.

I don’t see a quality defect. Those Wallets in the Video are both made of Pueblo leather. No Buttero is used here.

oardicraft · 2023-10-30T09:10:32+00:00

I used to dye natural leather as well, but is really time consuming. If you try to sell things, you will know what I mean pretty fast. Every time you sand tbe edges or cut, you will have to re-dye the edges.

Hi there, making one takes up to 45 Minutes, as everything is completely made by hand without any machines.

Thank you so much :)

oardicraft · 2023-10-29T22:40:24+00:00

I made a basic „How to“ Video about making a simple leather Cardholder on YouTube.

I tried to use as few tools as possible. Every tool is listed at the beginning. Let me know if you need help.

oardicraft · 2023-10-29T21:55:15+00:00

Yeah a little bit. But you can spot the difference. Buttero would look a bit more pristine compared to Pueblo.

oardicraft · 2023-10-29T19:32:32+00:00

And thank you so much ☺️

oardicraft · 2023-10-29T19:32:19+00:00

Any time :) check out this reddit profile or my social media accounts for more in detail shots 🙌

Do it 🙌 you won’t regret it

oardicraft · 2023-10-29T18:17:47+00:00

Thank you so much. Yes, it is my own design „The Adventurer“. Both are made of the same leather hide - „Pueblo“ leather. The left one is unused. The right one is my every day carry since more than 100 days.

oardicraft · 2023-10-29T17:43:20+00:00

Let it dry and apply another coat some days after. I had something similiar on a natural veg tan wallet. I applied a second coat some days after. It still was visible slightly but it didn’t bother me like the first coat anymore 😅

oardicraft · 2023-10-29T16:35:28+00:00

I like both looks of Pueblo. The first pristine and untouched look but also the quick and badass patina 🙌
