Phineahs M crafted a beautiful, beige leather purse for Tino, thoughtfully designed with elegant compartments for cards and coins, personalized with embossed initials. What's your wish?
A request by Tino from Potsdam,
Hello and good day, can you please make a purse from beige leather, with a coin compartment, approx. 8 inside pockets for check cards / driver’s license etc. and a double bill compartment? Also available with a small embossing or initials (TR).
The wallet should have the following dimensions: opened: height 9cm x width 23cm; closed 9cm x 11,5cm.
Many thanks and love greetings

Hello and good morning Phineahs,
so far it looks very great - can you please omit the compartments above the coin compartment and please make the coin compartment bigger and please provide it with a push button?
On the left side it would be super, if you could install a big compartment for the car license under the slots for cards etc.. So the dimensions approx. B 11.5cm x H 8cm - as it fits.
Thank you very much for your feedback!
best regards
tino
That's okay. I'll send you the updated design soon.
Hey, there's the update. Waiting for your feedback.

Hey, Tino I've indicated the price and am willing to proceed either today or in January. I'm closing for the Christmas holiday starting Wednesday.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hello, Phineas,
unfortunately I still have a question, that you make the wallet out of the brown leather, which can be seen in the background? I find that too brown and too dark - do you also have leather in beige (dark white) available? If not, I'd rather have black leather.
Greetings and a Merry Christmas to you!
tino
Hey, we don't have beige now but we have black leather.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hey, Tino. Happy new year. We resumed yesterday and embarked on your project. Unfortunately, the black leather we have is not sufficient and hope to buy from the tannery today. However, we've enough dark blue at the workshop if you may wish to reconsider.

Hey, Tino. Apologies for the delay. We have had challenges from the tannery from Wednesday. We bought black and beige leather that wasn't tanned properly, as attached. We have made another order.
Attached is also a sample template made with navy blue leather.

Hello Phineas, I'd prefer beige leather, of course - but navy blue is fine, as well as black. Kind regards Tino
Hey Tino, we are done with the wallet. Attached are the photos.

Hello and good afternoon Phineas,
when I was about to repack the wallet, I unfortunately noticed that the one made by you has no note compartment - I had asked for a double note compartment at the very beginning.
That is of course a great pity, how do we proceed in this regard?
Kind regards
Tino
Hey, Tino.
I have decided to make amends for that.
I will make you another wallet.
Regards,
Phineahs

Hello and good morning Phineas, that would be great and I would like to be surprised.
There are a few things I'd like you to consider:
Leather would be great as a material.
In the wallet I absolutely need a coin compartment, double bill compartment, 3x check card compartment and 1x car papers compartment.
The wallet should have approximately the following dimensions: unfolded: height 9cm x width 23cm; closed 9cm x 11.5cm. By no means smaller.
The rest is up to you.
Many thanks and best regards,
Tino
Hey Tino,
Thank you for the update. I will inform you of the progress.
Best regards,
