Winfred Njoroge (29. November 2024)

Hello Steffen, my name is Winnie, I am an artist who deals with leather and I am very
happy to visualize your wallet, I have a few questions about the wallet to get a clear picture on how to make it. Which colour should the leather be? How many bill compartments are there(1 or 2), how many card slots are there? Does it have a coin compartment? The window for the photos, how many are they? Thank you very much.

Kind regards
Winnie

Steffen (2. December 2024)

Hello Winfred, 4 card slots on the left, behind it another possibility to hide a bill 💵 🙈
No coin compartment, viewing window on the right, one full-length compartment see photos
Thank you for your feedback
Photos attached
Greetings from Germany

Winfred Njoroge (2. December 2024)

Hello Steffen, I've seen the wallet and it's something I'd love to make for you. I'll get a more brown leather thank the one on the pictures is that okay? Thank you very much for your feedback.

Greetings from kenya 😊

Winfred Njoroge (11. January 2025)

Hello Steffen,.... I've tried using the given dimensions but it's not bringing the wallet as per the one in the picture.... I've sent you a video showing the design.... If I change the top one from 10x2 which is 20 to 17.5 the bottom 12.5x2 which is 25 and height 8.5 it brings the desired curve for both sides...
Kindly let me know if I should change the dimensions ....
Kind regards
Winfred

Steffen (11. January 2025)

Okay
Steffen (Automatic translation)

Winfred Njoroge (23. January 2025)

Hello Steffen, apologies for the delay of the wallet, I had some trouble getting the leather split and skived down to the perfect measurements. I had visited different factories but all their machines had an issue.... I managed to locate one which can.... Also I apologize because I noticed the video I sent didn't come.... At the time I didn't realize it had exceeded the maximum 50mb the site allows.... I've edited and sent it.... I've sent the cut out patterns I used for cutting the leather..... Thank you very much for your patience.

Kind regards
Winfred

Steffen (23. January 2025)

Ok (Automatic translation)

Winfred Njoroge (5. February 2025)

Hello Steffen, my apologies for taking too long, I have sent you the pictures of the progress.... Some pictures show the things I replaced, like I had done bad stitching on the part with the clear cover, I redid it and put a backing to help it be strong.... I used only leather for the whole wallet and fabric for the inner lining, I replaced the card compartment making sure the cards fit nicely and gave it a great finish. I hope you like it. Let me know if it's okay. Thank you very much.😊.

Kind regards
Winfred

Steffen (7. February 2025)

Thank you
Better to wait longer and get a good result

Hello Steffen,

I hope you're doing well. This is Vicky, the local operations manager. First, I sincerely apologize for the significant delay and truly appreciate your patience. We hope you’ll love the final product!

I just received your wallet from Winnie, and it looks beautiful! The card slots have ample space, making it easy to insert and remove cards, the stitching is neat, and the leather colour choice adds to its overall elegance.

I wanted to point out that the wallet’s dimensions vary slightly from your original request. However, it remains fully functional, ensuring your cards and bills will fit comfortably. I’ve attached photos showing the different dimensions and how the wallet looks with cards inside.

Please take a look and let us know your thoughts. Looking forward to your feedback!

Best regards,
Vicky Achieng

Steffen (20. February 2025)
