The idea from Roland from Mühlhausen-Ehingen:
The most important thing would be that for the banknotes are four compartments:
1. 5 Euro + 10 Euro
2. 20 Euro
3. 50 Euro and
4. 100 Euro + 200 Euro
(See "compartments for banknotes.)
After further fold down, then compartments for cards, etc.
The dimensions of the wallet are approximately 12.5 cm x 10 cm.
Please no leather from endangered species or animals that are killed only for leather production.
I send them now times. If you have any questions, need the photos differently…, feel free to contact me.
The customer's rating:
All very good. Exactly according to the specifications. Very good work. Thank you Denis.
The story of the Custom-Made Wallet with Compartments for four notes:
Negotiation phase
My name is Denis, pleasure to be at your service. I would love to realize your current wallet to a New one.
However, allow me to guide you on some areas.
1. The pictures appear with shadows and aren't very clear. I have attached a sample image from a previous client that can help you see how sufficient light is helpful to me.
2. I'd kindly like to request further visual clarification on the four banknote compartments (I haven't physically interacted with Euros are they different in Size?) Maybe you can assist me with with more images of the specific compartments and if possible, a video of the entire wallet would be very helpful so I clearly understand the exact design details of your current wallet.
3. The dimensions are very important so we don't make a mistake. The image I attached will also guide you see how she confirmed the dimensions of her wallet.
I'll use cow leather don't you worry. Once we're in agreement on the above 3 questions, we'll proceed to choose the leather color you'll prefer and then I'll immediately get to work.
I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you.
Best Regards,
Denis.
Hello Denis.
Thank you for your message. Am just very busy. Will take new photos this weekend, and describe the purse to you in more detail.
Until then, have a nice day,
Best regards
Roland
It's fine, don't you worry. The weekend is not far I can wait. I'll be on standby incase you need me so everything will be perfect and clear. I look forward to hearing from you soon, so we can get you a New wallet. Have a great time as well!
Best wishes,
Denis
Hello Denis,
I finally had the time to take the photos.
Photo no. 1 and 2: For coins
Photo 3 and 4: Page for banknotes with dimensions
Photo 5: Card compartments - we don't need the transparent compartments for photos etc.
Photo 6: The compartments for banknotes. We don't need a compartment for 500 euros. But you can do it if you want
Photo 7: Another view of the banknote and card compartments
Photo 8: Card compartments can be opened again to have more compartments for cards or photos. You can do this, but you don't have to.
Photo 9: Another view from above.
Dear Denis, I hope you can work with this. As I said, the layout of the banknote compartments is very important. You can decide whether you make all the card compartments or fewer. Let your creativity run free.
Get in touch if you need more information. I'll try to answer a little faster than this time.
Best regards
Roland
My apology for the slight delay in response. Been a little under the weather. The pictures are far much better now. Do you have any preferences regarding color of the leather? Black?Brown? Any specific colors or should I send options of what we currently have available?
Also, would you mind sharing with me your budget for the project? I'll highly appreciate so I can do my best to fast track this order to be released next week.
Best regards,
Denis.

Hello Denis,
I was traveling for work and could not respond so far. But now. Yes, please send me some color samples. I'll be home for the next few days and can then reply quickly.
I don't know how much work you have to do to realize the purse. I also don't know what materials you need. I know you have to earn something and you should. So just make me a fair offer. I'm sure we'll come together.
Have a nice day,
Best regards
Roland
No problem, I'll make you an offer then we can pick the colors and begin. Have a great time, hope to hear from you soon.
Best wishes,
Denis.
Production phase
Thank you for confirming the order. I have attached 3 shades that I thought are masculine and you might like. One on black, dark brown and Chestnut Brown (the one that looks golden). Which one would you prefer that we use?
Thank you & Best wishes,
Denis.
Good morning Denis,
Thank you for the photos.
Please take the black leather.
I wish you a nice Sunday.
Best regards
Roland
Happy New Year 2024! I hope you are doing well. I hope you are doing well. My most sincere apologies for my silence. We managed to do the first sample of the wallet with the leather you chose but it got too bulky. We skived the leather further and did a second sample but unfortunately it was still bulky. I therefore opted to use upholstery leather which is more softer and less bulky due to the complexity of the wallet design. However, I could only get it in the regular black. Kindly find attached some images of what we have managed to do.
I look forward to your feedback on the same.
Best wishes,
Denis
Hello Denis.
A happy new year 2024 to you too.
If it didn't work with the other leather, there's nothing you can do.
What you've done looks pretty good.
It's ok.
Best regards
Roland
I'm so grateful to see your positive response. I'm really glad you like the progress that we've made. What I'll do now is to refine the final wallet, take more pictures for your review/ approval then from there if all is well, hand it over to my manager. Thank you for your patience too.
Best Regards,
Denis
Everything is ok.
Regards
Roland
I hope you are doing well. Kindly find attached images of the wallet as we have finished it. The weather today here is rather dull but I hope the pictures are nicely visible. Looking forward to hearing your feedback.
Thank you & Best Wishes,
Denis.
Hi Denis, thanks for the pictures.
It's cloudy here too. Snow and freezing rain. Roads and paths are slippery and slippery. I think it's at least warmer where you are.
All very good, great work !!!
I'm looking forward to the wallet.
Best regards
Roland
this is Vicky, the local operations manager. I received your wallet from Denis and did a quality check to ensure the item matches your desired outcome. The wallet looks good and matches the design of your previous wallet.
I only had access to 5, 10 and 20 euro notes, so these are the ones I used in my assessment. I have shared photos showing the dimensions of the wallet and also with the euro notes and cards in them. Kindly take a look and let us know what you think.
Kind regards,
Vicky Achieng.
Hello Vicky,
thank you for your message and the quality control.
Everything looks very good in the photos. And I think I will be very happy with it.
I'm looking forward to the wallet arriving soon.
If I need something "custom made" again, I will be happy to contact Urban Change Lab again.
I will also recommend you to others.
With best regards
Roland
