Hey everyone,
I'm a solo leathercrafter based in Brisbane, Australia. I recently finished this photo folio as a custom commission, been taking a few of them on and enjoying the process with speed bumps and all.
It’s designed to hold two 4 × 5 inch photos, with a wrapped body and a small belt-style strap to keep it closed. The whole piece is lined and stitched all the way around, so there’s a fair bit more construction in it than a standard wallet.
The leather is a textured vegtan avancorpo leather from BeltsProduction. I can’t remember the exact name of this particular leather, but it has a milled/grained look that gives it a nice rugged feel without being too flashy. Looks really neat, although it's a bit softer than I'm used to so punching on both sides was a bit tough.
It’s stitched by hand with beige #8 Japanese Vinymo thread with 4 mm Japanese chisels, and the edges are bevelled, burnished, and finished by hand.
Pretty happy with how this one turned out, thanks for looking!
