Three Lace Styles
Each wallet is stitched by hand in calf leather, cut in three sizes to suit how you carry.
Bifold Lace
Compact at eleven centimetres, it holds six cards and folded notes.
Card Lace

Made by hand, in four steps
01
Choose your leather
Pick a leather and a lace pattern from our palette of soft, vegetable-tanned hides.
02
Press the lace
The lace is pressed into the leather by hand, one wallet at a time, until every thread shows.
03
Stitch and line
We saddle-stitch the seams and fit the lining. Monogramming is added at this step.
04
Burnish and post
Edges are burnished and waxed, then your wallet is posted within three weeks.

Questions, answered plainly
Will the perforated lace leather stretch?
Slightly. The leather relaxes about a millimetre across the first month of carrying, then holds its shape for years. The lace pattern is cut with a die, so the holes never tear or sag, and the edges stay crisp.
How many cards does a wallet hold?
Each lace wallet holds six cards in its three slim pockets, plus folded notes in the central sleeve. Slide two cards into one pocket and it still closes flat, though the leather will soften sooner.
Is the lace leather waterproof?
No, but it is water resistant. Vegetable-tanned hide shrugs off rain and splashes, and a light wax finish helps. If it gets soaked, blot it, dry it flat away from heat, and rub in a little conditioner.
How long does an order take, and can you monogram it?
Each wallet is cut and stitched to order, so allow ten to fourteen days before dispatch. Monogramming adds three days. We press up to three initials in gold or blind foil, on the inside flap.
What is your returns and repair policy?
Return any unused wallet within thirty days for a refund. Every wallet also carries a two-year repair promise: loose stitching, worn edges or a tired snap are mended at our atelier free of charge.
