Announcement: Obbi Good Label Original Works Logo,
It took us a year to design and confirm this logo. Since 2013, a new logo has been in planned to replace or introduce side by side with the old one.

Other than brand building, no major meaning, but more of stamp logo, resemblance to "approved endorsement". We will emphasizing on our very own design and features for our product release, even though at times the design is similar, we make sure there's more than meets the eyes…. like our trucker wallet, we are able to put in 4 dedicated card slots hidden inside the wallet, not exposing and changing the original look.

This logo will be used on selected range of product due to the orientation of the design.

I dunno whether did we post the following, but here we go again.

The BRAVE Mid Wallet explained
The Brave series of Horween Chromexcel wallets emphasis a few main points.
Horween Chromexcel leathers, handmade wallet by Obbi Good Label signature design. Every man should own one or two of such high quality leather wallet with fine craftsmanship.
In this part of BRAVE series, we look at how the new BRAVE MID WALLET was created.

• Design and Functionality
  Plain external surface for natural aging in appreciation of such high quality leathers. After some usage, the wallet will form subtly into a clam-like shape, bulging on the middle. 5 inch length mid-sized wallet is perfect for slotting into back pocket/front pocket. Natural curves will shape out nicely with this size.

• The OGL shape (original)
  Looking in front view, the shape of the wallet is 'tapered' towards the opening of the wallet. This is an original design by Obbi Good Label. The idea of the shape is inspired by the chinese silver tael (yuanbao), which is the currency during the ancient times. Aptly, it is what we think it should be for a wallet.

• Techniques
  When wallet is fold/close, natural edge-out corners will be form on the bending side.This is achieved by a unique crafting technique employ by Obbi Good Label. The edge-out corners not only create a unique curve on the wallet appearance, they also allows for ergonomic feel when holding the wallet.

• Additionally
  Well, lastly, we played around with the colours. Matching the underside 'flesh' of Horween Chromexcel leathers, we used different colour leather for the internal part. Example above, a Black Horween CXL leather with a 'khaki' underside, we match it with Khaki cowhide leather.

Some earlier writes out of our Condor, model since then and surprisingly till today it's still the highest selling model we ever made

Obbi Good Label started leathercrafting in 2007. We did not begin our journey of handmaking leather wallets until one year later.
Well, everybody starts somewhere. For us, we started with snap wallets - short, mid and long.
That is where we begin our improvising and establishing our own Obbi Good Label aesthetics for Condor series…

In 2008, when Obbi Good Label started our online store, we were full of ideas. Making every designs, any designs we thought of and putting them up instantly. Frankly speaking, what was more important to us is how people appreciate our work, especially our craftsmanship and quality.

And when Obbi Good Label moved into a full-fledge leather workshop, we realised we need our own style to differentiate ourselves from others.
According to ancient Native American's beliefs, Obbi Good Label's birth month (April), is symbolise by Falcon. Aptly matching our Native Traveller's style and Condor, we decided to use shape of the eagle's feather as the leather design for the snap.

This design not only identifies Condor series as original design by Obbi Good Label, the shape has got ergonomic sense, giving user better handling.
Gradual slide on top with more curvature on the bottom is done by specific measurements that only craftsmen of Obbi Good Label will know.

Have been studying old way of making wallets, and information is really limited, so we mix and match what other labels is doing and then as usual, implemented it better

At 1st when we thought, it should not be a very fast moving line, because early days, no credit card slots. However we know the modern requirements, we redesign a 3 slot diagonal way, same like our trucker series.

The true reason of this wallet design is also an inspirations from Goros Takahashi, I never own any of his great work silver and leather pieces… but his way of life inspires me to start. For this, we uses genuine 925 silver as the hardware accessories.

A group photo follow by some of the used model plus inspired model from other labels

And some reference from other label that inspired us to release this collections
