We take great pride in ensuring that each wallet is meticulously crafted with the utmost care. Our making time is published on our schedule page for your convenience (tauruscamp.com/schedule). While we normally will complete orders ahead of schedule, delays are rare and usually only by a day or two.

By hand! 100%. Our wallets are meticulously crafted with timeless efforts. We use traditional leather crafting tools. We choose the most premium quality leather, hand-picked by our crafter. All our designs are original. We ideate, prototype them, spend considerable amount of time to test it for usability before adding them to our product line.

We only work with vegetable tanned leather. Most of our wallets are crafted with cow hide. We use full-grain leather for all our wallets, which is the top layer and the highest quality for durability and the strongest cut from the hide. A leather is generally composed of interwoven fibers. The density of how the fibers are packed is different between the layers. Top surface is the most dense and and they get looser as you go down. Apart from cow hide, we also have our wallets made in Shell Cordovan leather. Shell cordovan is the most finest leather you can find. It lasts for generations, develops dramatic patina, breathable, self healing, mirror like sheen, intoxicating scent and a good friend to extremely skilled craftsmen/women.

Design We embedded the basic functional need for a wallet and considered the usability in every possible ways. Addressing the most common needs in the most intuitive way. Materials We invest most of the product cost into the quality of leather, threads, finishing agents and the best making tools we could get. Making Compared to mass produced / factory made wallets in the market, handmade products stand out in different levels. The machines are totally incapable of achieving several important construction methods for wallets. The way it is cut, stitched and burnished. Personalization Since we do all our wallets by hand, one by one. It is possible to make ad hoc customizations like monogram, change of thread, thumbhole etc., Cost Most important reason. It is almost impossible to get wallets mass produced with handmade quality for the price we are selling. Our cost is calculated with the lowest margin we could afford considering the price of premium materials and making time.
