Handmade Excellence and a Lifetime Wallet

Kept on me across all conditions, in sweaty pockets, cold bags, and everywhere else for my daily use the past 6 months.

As expected, the cordovan retains incredible shine and luster, with scratches naturally buffing out through use. The crocking provides great contrast against the kakishibu that should keep darkening with sun exposure. No cleaning yet, just some brushing every couple weeks.

The roughness has started to buff out, and the natural leather is darkening beautifully. My hands run very cold and dry in cooler weather, so not too surprised that there’s still a lot more room for patina.

Hand-cut, painted, and sewn with great skill and a unique, functional design. The wallet compressed down nicely, and it’s really a lovely piece. Mike’s suggestion to pair the Corsican with a more textured, natural leather was great to give it more character. Highly recommend Mike’s work.

WFG does exceptional work, evidenced through this beautiful, unique wallet. I’m thoroughly enjoying my first truly durable wallet, especially because it’s a great conversation piece and stunning to admire. Considering the expensive materials and labor involved, this piece is priced reasonably. Through the dome, I’ve loved watching my first piece of shell evolve. I knew the patina would be hard-earned, but I’m really pleased with how it’s aging. Now it just needs a week in the sun! :)
