New leather….
Found some really different and exceedingly expensive leather suitable for lining wallets. Both pieces are a matte finish suede and sport cool paisley/ bandanna. type prints. Both colors are outstanding, both prints are really something different. I was only able to find a small piece of each, so this is sure to be a limited availability thing. As usual cool and unusual are hard to find…necessitating extra vigilant hunting. I think these pieces are old, they got that look and feel.
this is something different...
Now finding a print in a wallet is nothing new – but finding it in leather is.
Most every print you’ll find in other folks leather wallets are fabric, very few if any use leather, because it is: 1) more expensive and, 2) more fussy and delicate to work with. and 3) it is a royal pain in the ass to find, as you really need to get hands-on, to know what your buying.
Find something cool, buy it once and get what you want, ….works for me. If it works for you, drop me a line at: steveb@steveb.biz
