I'm happy to join this drop. Do you have pictures of the different colors with stitching so I may decide which to buy?

Sorry to disrupt some of the debate on pricing philosophy but just one little...question.....you say capacity of 10-15 cards....I was hoping to use this for credit cards but the pic shows business cards....so is it 10-15 business cards or credit cards? Thanks

Aug 22, 2015

RajeshCredit cards. Here is the one I used. 10 cards + 10 bills.

Don't let those negative comments affect you Deusis. I think it's a very fair price for everyone especially for the quality of the leather. If you guys look around, Bellroy offers a similar card sleeve at 54.95 dollars, its leather is good but it's just not at Barenia level. furthermore it's made in India and machine stitched. Another card sleeve you can compare with is Saddleback. Saddleback card sleeve leather contain ugly scars and marks, no edge burnishing and the machine stitching is horrible though it cost 20 dollars. I believe for those looking for a good card sleeve, this will definitely get the most out of your money.

The difference in cost comes from the material. Barenia® is much more comparable to shell in terms of cost and rarity as opposed to CXL or something of that nature. If you do some googling on it you'll see how amazing it is! I mean if Hermes uses it, it must be pretty good :)
And to be clear, this wallet is saddle stitched, not "saddlestitched". I'm not sure why you'd think we're faking it here.

Actually, A-side chromexcel/leather was pretty hard to get directly from Horween/tannery, as their price/sq. ft were simply out of my budget for smaller orders. Had to resort to looking around local shops, and even then, it's difficult to source decent sides as a small hobbyist. Maybe it's easier for you since you make larger orders/run a business?
As for @penguinsoda, let's see if he's the famous /u/give_me_candy I see on /r/leathercraft (I doubt it)

It's priced very well. And it's beautiful. Great design, great leather choice - looks like a perfect balance between being thin but still rigid. $40 for a hand-made good out of a very premium leather that will last a lifetime and age with you.

Seriously? A folded piece of leather that is "saddle stitched" sells for $40? I ought to give up working on my post bac and start doing leather full-time.

andreewleeThe recent drop 'Popov Leather Driftwood Chromexcel Card Holder' has better design, and was priced less than $30 shipped. That holder has separate pocket for cash. I would like to see that dropped again with more leather color options, not the thread color, which is less important for me.
