Anybody any experience with studio d'artisan wallets? Like the blue one here. Overpriced?

Actually, the leather is pretty cheap, relatively speaking. Finding and/or training someone to make something out of that leather is the expensive part. Master level expertise isn't cheap, nor should it be. Is $350 too much? Like scroogen said, that's up to you.

boe_116 those are nice pieces. when you say you added the fabric, do you have images of the wallet before or did you build it from the ground up & then added the fabric? also what kind of fabric & leather you use? might want to put your work in the crafts thread, & again it looks nice.

Arnoldlayne, no usage experience, but have touched and felt SDA wallets whilst in Japan. They are right up there quality-wise. Maybe slightly over priced, but there's an emotional connection so it equals out anyhow. The only gripe with this generation of leather works (RedMoon are the same, and I have a RM wallet), is the stitching is with Nylon, and over many years is likely to bust.
Iron Heart, The Flat Head, Hollows, Corter, Vojey, TannerGoods, ObbiGoods, and Angelos all use forms of tendons for stitching which can handle much more abuse long term.
Summary; Ultimate in many forms, stitching over years of abuse, may require repairs.

Oh decisions, decisions… thanks for input

OGL & Oldblue I think.

I think he makes them. Look up Leather Error on Facebook. He's in Thailand.

Just was curious if anyone could help me as I know very little about leather working. I currently own a Redmoon SR-01a. I love it but would like to have the option of using a wallet reign whenever I feel the urge and unfortunately it does not have the grommet/ loop connection that similar HR-01a wallet sometimes are produced with. Can anyone give me their opinion if this is something that can be added by a cobbler maybe or someone who works with leather goods?
