The story of the custom made wallet with a swing top:
Negotiation phase
My name is Isabel and I would like to make an offer for you.
I have read your briefs and makes sense on what you need. I have attached a photo of a sample wallet, this is a bifold but based on your requirements we I propose to make yours a trifold wallet. This will ensure it has all the compartments you need.
As per the colour of leather I have attached different shades of green and others you can check them out and let me know. All leather is high quality full grain that is guranteed to age beautifully and to last for life.
Otherwise I am ready to start on this project once you are happy with the price and the materials.
Looking forward to hear from you soon.
Best regards
Isabel
Hello, Isabel,
That sounds very good. I don't need the mobile phone pocket that you can see on your photo, you could attach card pockets instead?I don't know if everything gets a bit too thick with a triple-folded purse? Does the wallet have a clip lock or a button? Otherwise, I like your suggestion. With green leather, I would like the darkest one best.
Thanks for your ideas!
Kind regards
Marina
Thanks for your response.
We can make it a bifold to avoid it being too thick and the slot for the mobile phone we card put the card slots😊.
The closure is a magnetic button used see attached image when the wallet is closed.
Noted on the choice of leather ut is a lovely choice.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards

Thanks for your response.
We can make it a bifold to avoid making it too thick. Then we remove the phone slot and replace with card pockets as you have suggested.
The closure is magnet as shown in the attached photo of the closed wallet, let me know if this is fine.
I have taken note if the leather you prefered and will use this one.
Otherwise I think i am ready to start on this project.
Looking forward to hear from you.

Production phase
Trust you have been well
I have been waiting for the dark green leather to be delivered from the tannery and I have been promised it will be ready early next week. I will start immediately it is delivered.
I will keep you posted just had to ensure I get the right quality leather even if it has taken time.
Many thanks
Isabel
Thanks Isabel for the feedback, it's okay if it takes a while.
Kind regards
Marina
The leather had not been delivered so I went to the tannery and it was in the processing. It needs to dry off naturally over the weekend and I will go pick it on Monday.
As I could not order 1 skin I had to make a sizable order so I can get it done. This has taken a while but at least we will get high quality bespoke leather.
Many thanks
Isabel
That's okay.)
I am getting disappointed by the tannery as I still have not gotten the green leather. I feel this will totally delay this project and despite me paying deposit to them they are still not yet delivered.
My request is if you are open to any other colour readily available or you want just the dark green?
Please have a look at alternatives and let me know if there is anything else you may consider.
My apologies and sincerely sorry.
Regards
Isabel
I would have preferred the dark green leather, is there any new information about when it will be delivered?
What are the alternatives?
Would this dark green (attached photo) be ok?. Let me know.
Isabel
Yeah, it's okay.
Am exited I have started the project finally.
Attached showing different stages from design and pattern making, cutting and stitching.
