Its detailed story
When I designed and created the “Old Country” hybrid bag, I had planned to make a matching accessory using the offcuts—but I wasn’t sure which pattern to use.
After discovering and making the “Plum-Y Oakie” version of this here wallet-clutch pattern, I realized it was the perfect fit to continue exploring the masculine-feminine, rustic-modern contrast I had begun with that jacket and bag.
So I decided to dive into it with materials that felt far less feminine and polished.
Its interesting shapes and potential for contrast made it a great choice.
I was able to use up most of the leftover leather (I still have a bit), and much of the lining (there’s less of that left), which I first “de-batted”—a laborious but necessary task to take advantage of its fineness.
The soft, supple leather, the rough yet cozy wool, the slippery satin lining... everything came together harmoniously to play up those contrasts.
I also emphasized the structured, geometric pattern by preserving as much alignment as possible, and the matte antique brass luxury hardware provided the finishing touch.
The result: a delightfully unexpected and practical wallet—perfect to slip into your bag or use on its own thanks to the removable wrist strap.
