Future product- Wallets but they terrify me.

We’re always trying to think ahead and keep current.  A fellow leather God is trying really hard to get me to more comfortable making wallets. I’m trying,  but haven’t found a groove yet. I can’t get past the thought “Will someone actually pay $100 for a wallet?”

Wallet making is very time intensive. You have to make sure the weight of the leather is just right; the exterior has to be clean; stitching has to be perfect; you need to think about how many card pockets did it need; does it need RFID for a lining; and so much more. Yet, I see people online looking for wallets priced like Walmart. That scares me.

Not everything I make will be every body’s cup of tea or perfect price point. I get that,  but the thought of making a good amount of wallets to show, and being rejected by a lack of sales or the comment “I can get that cheaper!” just petrifies me.

So yeah, when people ask why I don’t make wallets,  that’s my thought process. I’m trying to push past it.

Would you buy a wallet from me?
