Our Craft
The Craft Behind Every WalletEvery wallet by Dan is cut, stitched, and finished by hand in Vietnam, with careful attention to every detail.
Leather Chosen for Character
Each piece of cowhide is selected for its natural grain, strength, and character—the foundation of a wallet designed to age beautifully.
Cut and Shaped by Hand
Every component is measured, cut, and shaped by hand to create clean lines, balanced proportions, and a precise fit.
Stitching Holes Punched by Hand
Each stitching hole is carefully punched by hand to keep the spacing clean and consistent—an essential step in creating strong, even seams with waxed linen thread.
Hand-Stitched with Waxed Linen
Each seam is stitched by hand with waxed linen thread for lasting strength, consistent tension, and the distinctive character of true handwork.
Edges Burnished with Beeswax
Every edge is carefully smoothed and burnished with beeswax for a clean, refined finish that complements the leather’s natural character.
Gentle Heat for an Even Wax Layer
After the beeswax is applied, a heated tool is guided slowly along each edge, allowing the wax to melt and spread into a smooth, even layer.
Each wallet has a character all its own, giving every design a distinctive presence.
Every wallet reflects the time, care, and character that go into making it. Explore the collection and find the design that feels distinctly yours.
