Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why do your goods cost that much?

A: Every single piece is handcrafted from high quality, Full Grain leather and/or Shell Cordovan. Each edge is hand sanded from 180 - 1000 (3000 for body edges) grit sand paper; edges beveled by hand, and burnishing gum applied and then hand burnished. A stitch line is put down; and the holes punched by hand, then the wallet is hand stitched, which is superior in every way to machine stitching. It’s repairable, looks good and is super strong. You are paying for my time and care to craft each of these pieces by hand. Not mass produce them like a department store wallet. 

Q: What materials do you use?

A: I use ONLY vegetable tanned Full Grain leather and Shell Cordovan for my goods. These are the best; and the best is what I want for the goods I sell. 

Q: Do you do commissions?

A: Normally no, however I will always listen to an inquiry. If it’s similar to what I already do, I may be able to accommodate. As DSL grows, this will open up. If you’d like one of my goods in a specific leather, feel free to email me, or message me on Instagram! You WILL need to pay in advance; and there will be a lead time as I’ll need to order the leather.
