A request by Jana from Heidelberg, Germany

I would like a leather wallet with a colourfully embroidered African pattern (see sample in the appendix). It would be nice if the leather is black and embroidered with red colours. The dimensions should be about 8×10 cm,
Inside, there should be: a coin pocket with snap fastener, a note pocket, and a few card pockets for up to 4-6 cards.

Hello, Walter,
Thank you for your photos. Do you also have the possibility to get another material? My favorite color is red and I would be happy if this color appears in the product. I sent you another photo of a bag whose colors and patterns I find very beautiful. Could you find something similar? Thank you very much!

Walter Omundo (22. August 2018)

Hello Jana, here are some of the colours that I have found in the shops I can provide you with more later if you are not interested in these. Thanks, Walter.

Hi Jana,
I hope you've been well.
How do you feel about this one?

Hi Walter, thanks for your suggestions. So far my favourite is the photo I attached again. The white fabric with yellow black patterns and a red circle. I would appreciate if you could provide another fabric option with a red pattern. If it is too difficult, then I would go for the one I attached. Thanks a lot.

Best,
Jana
