Carved flower wallet with an ID window

The flower is cut into the leather with a swivel knife and then raised with bevellers, so the petals stand out from a matted background. The dye is laid on by hand from the centre outwards: amber where the light falls, almost chocolate along the stitched edge.

The flap opens to a large window for an ID or a photo, and the inner panel carries a second, smaller flower with the maker’s mark. Card pockets sit behind, and the whole wallet is stitched by hand with light waxed thread.
