Clutch Wallet

Reason #879 I love my Glowforge: I had an idea for a clutch wallet the other day and this is the result. The requirements: Five card pockets, two places for cash, and a pen loop. Measures 7.75 x 4 inches closed. The color? Hand dyed a cool blue/gray made using two different color dyes. A truly unique piece. This is the prototype version but pretty close to the final I think.

Gorgeous! (Love the integrated fabric with it.)

Looks like a nice design. I noticed how nice your edges look. Is there something special that you do to make them look so good?

Wow, nice! I would carry that.

Well designed and executed. I love the color.

This is lovely! I’ve been working with leather for the very first time, so I can certainly appreciate something good when I see it. This also reminds me that I have a long ways to go in my learning curve.

Holy cow (apropos) that’s nice!

Thank you! I love the fabric as well. I’ve got several different patterns for my liners. This one is really cool too:

Very nice work!

Thanks! The edges all get sanded twice with a 100 and then a 220 grit. Then burnished with saddle soap and water and then a final burnish with beeswax. Quite a process but well worth the effort.

I haven’t done anything in leather yet so this is new to me, but yours looks fantastic.

Just take my money… goodness gracious that’s amazing! I especially love the color.

Holy smokes! Absolutely killer! Id rock this

Amazing! Hand sewn or machine? And maybe stupid question, is the logo engraved with the laser or is that a stamp/pressed in?

Andy_Mock · March 24, 2020, 4:09am

Already sold it, but I’ll make more!

Andy_Mock · March 24, 2020, 4:10am

Thanks! It’s sewn on my leather stitcher. My logo is stamped in. By the way, the stamp I made on the ‘forge too.

Wow. That is a beautiful piece of work! That is a piece anyone would be proud to carry. Nice job!

What a thing of beauty! And that lovely button is to die for. Never seen any like it.

I have always thought of a “Clutch Wallet” as a standard emotional reaction I feel frequently rather than a thing. However yours is very nice , and I discover that the one I have had (made of trigger cloth) for 50 years is such a design. The reason that I have had it for 50 years is about 18 inches of (in my case) parachute cord sewn on with a double-diamond button knot at the end that ties easily to my belt.
