This custom made very small black leather wallet – 9×6.5 cm has been realized by myself, Evelyne Wanjiku, in Kenya for Vanessa from Coburg (Germany). It started with the idea from Vanessa. This page shows our journey from the idea to the final custom made item and the price of the item.
First of all I would like to inform you that I think your project is a great thing!
For Christmas I would like to give my partner the wallet that he is currently using. It is a special wallet, as it is very, very small, that is very important to him. That's why I can't find a suitable one to buy and I hope that you can make it as individual as it is in great quality.
Dimensions: 9×6.5 cm closed; approx. 1 – 1.5 cm thick with 7 cards; 18-19×6.5 cm open
Color and material: black leather
Interior fittings: left: card compartment for 7 cards; right: see-through window compartment
I'll also send you photos of the purse (sorry, it's already pretty tattered).
For further details and dimensions etc. please ask me 🙂
PS: Do I get a cost estimate? Or will it cost less than 100 €?
best regards
Vanessa from Germany

Hi, Claudia,
thanks for taking over my project 🙂
I have added the picture again.
I also noticed that underneath the card slots (left side) there is another slot hidden. Do you understand how and where I mean approximately? If not, I will record it again or take a picture 🙂
Kind regards

Hi Claudia,
it doesn't quite look like much in the sent photos unfortunately, it should be an exact replica after all. And are the measurements right? It looks so very big somehow.
Many greetings
Vanessa Hartwig
