Leather wallet, 'Ancient Bird in Espresso'

Nicole

Feb 7, 2024

Best wallet I've owned

Product picture

A beautiful wallet with very fine craftsmanship, the detail is immaculate. I love carrying it around and I get many compliments, it has become somewhat of a conversation starter. It is lightweight and fits well in your pocket too, unlike some that are very bulky and heavy. I recommend 100% Thank you!

Leather Shoulder Bag

Product picture

Received my bag earlier this week. I am happy with the blue color and the many zippered sections. Only issue is the cell phone pocket is too small for my phone.

What a bag!

Product picture

This bag is incredibly durable and well made. I purchased this and one in green to have as a side bag when I go on a hiking trip to carry camera gear as well as incidentals. Again, incredibly well made.
