The idea from Hermann from Delbrück:
The wallet should have multiple card slots with space for 5 credit cards per side (2 sides), on the third side 2 credit card slots puls passport. Two separate compartments for banknotes would also be useful to keep things organized. A third large compartment, see sketch, is located on the third side below.
The wallet should contain RFID-blocking technology to protect personal data, only if this does not make the wallet look bulky.
Inside, the wallet should have a smooth microfiber lining to protect valuables. The stitching should be strong and precise to ensure a long life.
The outer edges of the wallet should be reinforced, while the surface of the leather should be treated to resist scratches and wear.
Finally, the design should be timeless so that it is suitable as a fashion accessory in both professional and private settings.

Production phase
That`s fine go ahead.
I have shared the prototype.
1. From the design of the wallet, I noticed 5 card slots looks weird, the top part leaves a huge space which does not balance with the bottom. So I have added two more slots on top, on both sides.
2. I am also creating a small joined between the passport holder piece and the main body to enable you to easily access the cards on the right side of the wallet.
3. With the information above, I am ready to start.
Regards.
Thank you
See attache pfd, small modification,
thanks
Trust you are doing well. The last time we communicated, you talked about small modifications. I indicated that in the PDF, I can't get the adjustments, and I requested you to highlight the adjustment. I have not received the modifications. Kindly highlight the adjustment, This will enable me to adjust he pattern. proceed with the work and deliver on time.
Best regards
It is only the arrangement of the pages see wallet-c pfd otherwise everything is o.k.
I am sorry the project became challenging when I was assembling yesterday. I had to start it afresh. I made a mistake of making the center piece small. So the construction was not coming out ok.
But now I have finished. It will leave my workshop in the morning once I finish working on the edges.
Best regards.
Thank you
This is Vicky Achieng, the local operations manager. I received your wallet from Paulina, and I must say, it is as beautiful as she promised! She made two additional card slots, so instead of the five you initially requested on each side, there are now seven slots on each side, giving you a total of 16 card slots (seven on each side and two on the side with the passport slot). I hope this adjustment works well for you.
I am pleased to confirm that the passport and cards fit perfectly in their respective slots, which is wonderful. Paulina's stitching is also impressively neat, reflecting her excellent craftsmanship.
The only minor issue I noticed is a few marks on the wallet, which may have occurred during the leather-handling process. I hope this doesn’t detract too much from your overall satisfaction, as the wallet still looks stunningly classic and elegant.
I have shared photos showing the wallet’s dimensions, how the cards and passport fit, the stitching details, and the marks I mentioned. Please have a look and let us know your thoughts.
Best regards,
Vicky Achieng
