A request by Brigitte from Halver, Germany
I would like custom-made credit card wallets in the colors tail or brown, made of leather. The dimensions are 9 x 6 cm when folded and 18 cm when unfolded and the material should be genuine leather, possibly veggie or faux leather if a more ecological or affordable alternative can be offered.
