ZELDA Leather Wallet
This design was Inspired by the Legend of Zelda a Link to the Past and Ocarina of Time, and was made by request of one of my clients. I have extensively tooled and shaped the surface, textured and painted the surface of this wallet by hand.
Every single piece of this special wallet was crafted by hand using sheets of thick and thin natural leather off the roll. Everything was hand assembled and sewn with strong thread with my leather sewing machine. The wallet is waterproofed with wax, and initials of the recipient are embossed into the leather surface.

Vivi Leather Wallet
Detailed hand painted illustration made by myself over the course of an evening (3 hours detailed work, “this is why this one costs more than the others”).
Vivi Ornitier is portrayed in an action pose ready to attack. In this wallet he is using the Thundaga black magic but optionally may choose any magic spell for him to cast, cannon would stick to black mage crafts such as Firaga Blizzaga Thundaga Demi Darkness Poison, But if you wish we could try him with the blue mage, white mage, or red mage spell casting for fun.

Metroid/Samus Wallet
The outer wallet is made of 3.5mm thick vegetable died leather for the outer leather casing which I have then tooled v-shape score lines to create a textured outline. I also used a dot punch stamp to give areas in shadow more depth and make the lighter areas stand out more. The design was hand painted over several hours with a range of shades of leather dyes and inks and acrylics to give this wallet a vintage quality feel.

Moogle/Chocobo Wallet
The outer wallet is made of 3.5mm thick vegetable died leather for the outer leather casing which I have then embellished with the image of a black mage Moogle riding a black mage Chocobo.
In this wallet I used a metal stamp to pepper a texture of dots into the shadow areas to give this wallet more texture and depth.
I used 1mm dark brown died leather to make the four softer inside card holders, note holder and two inner compartments accessible in the center fold where coins could be stored. I rubbed leather wax into all the stitching and surfaces to add water resistance and shine to the work.
