A little back story...
I'd been looking for a wallet. Specifically, I wanted a mid size, or small biker in veg - tan natural, with the option of adding a chain or lanyard. While surfing the web, I found a number of options. But, virtually everything I found appealing seemed ridiculously priced, or stripped down to bare bones.
Because of my own heritage, and the fact my ex-wife was born and raised in Poland, I have a soft spot for the Polish people and culture. I have seen many of their unique hand made items, and thought there must be a leather craftsman there, somewhere. While searching, I came across an article about sign on leather...
www.signonleather.com
There I found their 'Sven' wallet. Their site does not have a traditional Web store. You have to contact them directly. I inquired, and got a very timely response, from Lukasz, the man behind the brand. I had some questions about his leather sources and grades, lead time, and shipping. He is quite fluent in English, and had the answers I was hoping for. I'd go into greater detail, but this is turning into a dissertation. So, I pulled the trigger.
This is what I received today.
