The Proper Leather Studio on Etsy has just remade one of its best selling models, a leather skull wallet entirely handmade. The bi-fold leather wallet is hand-dyed, in shades of dark brown dye and brown Gel Antique on the outside and dark brown and 6 dark brown side pockets for credit cards on the inside. The
item is made of high quality veg-tanned leather, subsequently protected with several layers of acrylic
finish. Polished and waxed edges.

Outside: 1.6-2.0 mm (4 to 5 oz) single bend European hide
Inside: 1 mm (2.5 oz) calf hide
Folded measurements: 12 x 9.5 cm / 4.7 x 3.7 inches.
Slim enough to enter into your pocket.
Due
to the high-quality leather and craftsmanship, this wallet will last
good years of use. Nevertheless, do not submerge it into water and avoid
acids and corrosives. Leather is not a waterproof material and if
submerged, it absorbs water and might deform of loose some of the color.
Cared for, it will only look better in time. Also, it needs to soften
through wear a bit, to reach its optimal functions.
The
studio is a family business, with me making the designs, transfers,
cutting, and dyeing, and my husband managing the measuring, cutting, and
sewing of the products. We like to make thing properly, thus every item
has been cut, incised, tooled, dyed, sewed, and finished entirely by
hand. We take our time in carefully crafting every single item so that
it is both artistically pleasing and durable.
