I Made 200 Shell Cordovan Wallets in a Week...Alone
For our 15th anniversary Kayleena and I made a very special shell cordovan with Rocado Tannery in Tuscany. They helped us develop a tie dye colored Shell, and even let us cobrand it. This video is documents (barely) the making of this limited run in celebration of the 15 years yall have supported us, and takes a turn when Kayleena unfortunately gets sick which leaves me to get the whole run done by myself!
Luckily, as we've talked about recently, I used plenty of tools and materials from our sponsor Buckleguy and our stamping dies to get the job done. I also sewed a looooooot....which I didn't show haha. Thank you all from the bottom of our heart for 15 years of business, we can't wait to see what the next 15 years brings!

I've been watching you guys for about 4 years and I've gotten to the point where your content is my safe space, in the background, or when I need to come back down to earth from my anxiety. You're always my go-to for when I want to learn something new. Keep being awesome, putting out good stuff, and I hope Kayleena gets better soon.
You made me break my “buy absolutely nothing on Black Friday” vow, I was so touched by the video and wanted a piece of this history. Thank you for all the years of learning and, recently, laughing, you freely give.
"Now that shell has been, y'know, unlocked from one tannery making it..." WOW! What a *massive* slam against Horweeen, man. I've seen a few comparison videos between Rocado, Shinki, and Horween. There's a reason why one of those brands is "the brand" and has been for over a hundred years. Still, though, great effort in what you produced... very impressive and a cool backstory!
I hope she feels better soon 💙 You guys are absolutely awesome 👌🏽 👏
Congratulations on 15 years I've been a hobby leatherworker for almost 10 years and due to health issues I've had a lot of free time this year watching your videos has really helped me up my game. Keep up the good work 👍
I didn't particularly care for the tie dye when it was the whole hunk of leather....but cut into wallet sizes? Beautiful
I love Rocado, they are really stepping up their game! Congrats on 15 years and such a cool collaboration!
Was that finally a face reveal on the thumbnail??

Sooo happy to grab a trio of these inspirational pieces. I adore the way you two work together, what you produce in the workshop and your movies here on YT. You are a constant for me in my leathercraft development. Thank you both so very much.

Agh, not fun! Hope you're feeling better, I managed to avoid it but K's been having a very not fun time. Thank you so much for grabbing some works! It'll go right back into videos and fun stuff :)
Thank you for sharing your journey, and your hard-won knowledge & experience. I am the Eutrophicated1; because my younger daughter says I am older than dirt. The term describes the natural process of aging in fresh water lakes. It usually takes 10-20 k-years to occur. Not quite that old, yet. Hope the arthritis in your hands isn't too bad yet. I look forward to many more years of viewing your projects & videos, as well as making my own.
Wow! You both are such cool people. Congratulations on 15 years!
I'm absolutely so amazed that each and every leather is one of kind. I would love to see a messenger bag made from this leather with french stitch and copper rivets.
First congratulations on 15 years. Second that's a sick bunch of shells. I want to thank you because 2 and a half years ago I set out on this trip into the leather world. You were the one I learned the most from. It isn't fruitful fur me yet but fingers crossed the moves I make will change all that next year. Also fantastic new place you have!

Amazing leather and outstanding work ethic. Congratulations on 15 years!
Absolutely amazing!
I love your excitement and enthusiasm
Somebody DESERVE huge RESPECT, Bravo ...from Croatia ,,,Europa !
Simple. Beautiful. A nice way to add some color and keep it minimal.
Congratulations! Your work is amazing!
Beautiful leather! Congrats on 15 years! Get well soon!!!
So nice to see a beautiful array of color!
Congratulations on 15 years ! Hope for a speedy recovery and Good health for both of you .
Congrats! They turned out gorgeous!
Superb what high quality leather it gives ideas thank you
Congratulations! In only 6 hours you’re almost sold out! Absolutely appropriate. Just beginning my leather work thanks in large part to your videos. I hope you both are well / getting better with no serous COVID symptoms. You’ve made 15 years due to the quality of your work and the quality of your content. Here’s to 15 more.
CONGRATS ON 15 YEARS SO AMAZING. YOUR WORK IS TRULY INCREDIBLE AND I LOVE IT. THANKS FOR SHARING. 😁👏🏽👏🏽
Goodness gracious those are stunning shells.
110% inspiration to start working harder. congratulations Eric🙏🏼
"Oh, hell, yeah" gave me all the grins!
Nice Job, I am an old leather crafter retired, but I am picking up one for myself! Those look awesome! Thanks for continuing the leather crafting world. Yes definitely do a video and show your workshop, would love to see your setup!
Congrats on 15 years sir! After watching you for around a year, I decided I wanted to try leathercraft. I’ve become addicted to it. It’s therapeutic for me when I can’t go do photography or cinematography for my friends short film channel. Sold my first two commissions this week, and just ordered more Leather. Keep up the good work, and thank you. Hope Kayleena gets better soon! She adds so much to the channel.
That shell is for sure the nicest that I've seen. Congrats on 15 years!
Your clickbait thumbnail worked for me! 😂 That shell is absolutely gorgeous and what an amazing product to share at cost. You could probably make some awesome simple keychains with those scraps. Hope Kayleena feels better fast and you are spared the virus. I'd love to see a video on your off grid workshop specifics because yes, I am a nerd.

Amazingly beautiful work as always, I started leather craft around 1 year ago, you have been the best to motivate me, really appreciate your work! Congratulations on 15 years ✨💪🏻✨
Congrats on 15 amazing years ! I snagged a few and will cherish them always.
Congrats on your anniversary! Many happy returns 🎂 Hope your friend is better soon. I’ve been a viewer for a couple years and am getting sucked into the craft for Xmas, I bought myself a little tool kit and a 2lb box of leather scraps for Xmas, I really want to try carving. No idea what I will make yet, happy with practice. Probably key chains/patches at first. I have a pyrography kit somewhere too. Boggled by Pinterest, should be fun. See you next episode, thanks for all the tutorials!
BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL WORK!🎉❤
You helped me discover this hobby. I don't always make the time to craft things, but when I do it is great, so thanks! I'm definitely picking up one of the card sleeves, they look beautiful. Congrats on 15 years
Stunning!
Congrats! What a huge accomplishment! It is awesome that we can participate in the celebration. Loving the business videos!

A beautiful thought and really beautiful leather.
Man. That is so stellar.
Congrats!!! Looks sick
Congrats on 15 years and this collaboration!
Love them and Love You! Thank You!
stunning!
I just stumbled on your chanel a day or 2 ago and was so impressed with your generosity in sharing your skills with those who are learning. As a fellow maker and small business owner, congratulations on the success you've built in doing what you love. I'm only sad that I saw this too late to get one of these beautiful pieces. Here's to at least 15 more years of success and I hope Kayleena has healed up and is back in the shop with you
These look so cool!
Beautiful shells and definitely smartly handmade products you made with them. Darn, 5 days since the video aired and everyone of them are sold out. Happy 15 years!
i love this dye work it makes every sigle Piece uniqe hope calena feels better soon love you guys and happy anniversary
Nice work! Good job selling out. Impressive!
You are an inspiration!

As an Italian I can only say: bravissimo! Magnifico! Once again you have proven your skills as a leather crafter AND as a business man! Very well done!
just discovered your video and really enjoyed watching the process. Your work is beautiful. I will be back to watch more videos
Beautiful work you should consider doing another project like this ….love the colors❤
That is gorgeous leather.
You guys are awesome
Congrats on your anniversary 🎉
THOSE LITTLE SCRAPS WOULD MAKE AWESOME KEY CHAIN FOB : ) THANK YOU FOR SHARING
Congrats to the sold out products!!❤ Get well soon Kayleena!
@Corter Leather This is one of the coolest things I've seen in a while. My Dad had a leather kit he used for making western belts, but to memory I don't think he ever had presses, just the dies to which I believe he used a rubber mallet to set and/or cut what he needed. He had the dies of the whole alphabet in Capital letters and a hole punch. I still have the letters and hole that he used!!! I was hoping you would show the sewing/stitching process, and he would come also!!!!
WHAT A GREAT JOB!! I LOVE YOUR WORKS.MERRY XMAS TO Y'LL👋🇦🇷
These were fantastic they reminded me of the spontaneous nature of my monotype prints I created during my grad years. Getting new into the craft your channel and knowledge has been an immense help. Congratulations on your 15 years. Now I know to be quicker on the draw for limited drops such as these. Any chance you'll be dropping a few more?lol🤣
Exciting!
Bought the thumb slider, as a leather guy I need to have this amazing and unique cordovan. Greetings from the Netherlands
Something I like to use to hold down jigs on my heat press is super strong magnets! Works fantastic!
Grabbed mine, it’ll be a perfect gift!!
Super!!!
Cool deal unique colors...
Those thumb hole scrap pieces would make gorgeous earrings! First time watcher of your videos. You guys do beautiful work.
VERY COOL, Congratulations. hope your wife feels better
Beyond beautiful
Can’t wait. 👍
Wow!! Amazing stuff. And the 3 pocket is already sold out!
Such high spirits, y’all are on a roll right now! Best wishes for Kayleena’s health, glad to see you both flourishing though. Maybe once you get some rest after this we’ll see a shell scrap watch strap movie? 😮
All of the different styles look awesome. What do you do with the "thumb slider" cutout? Hope Kayleena is feeling better soon.
Is that a picture of our favourite youtuber and leather crafter? Great video and big surprise for the anniversary!

Hey can you make a video of how to care for leather products after they’ve been made?
Oh no! I was too late for the card holders! Great work, love what you do!
Soldout already? WOW. Please make another run, you left us drooling! :D
WOW. These look amazing. If they weren't already sold out, I would totally buy one of those bifolds. Excellent work and gratz on 15 years!

@@MrOldclunker Actually, horween leather is a biproduct of the meat industry from Belgium and Quebec. The hide would otherwise be thrown away. All the hides are tanned in Chicago. Now that you know, what do you think? I think it means more people should use real leather and not these plastic "vegan" leathers that have been popping up the last few years.
So cool
They look really beautiful! Sadly here in Germany cash is still pretty widely used so these all aren't really an option for me, but I really love them and would love to carry one! To be honest, being able to get around with just one of these and not having the pockets full of loose change is one of the few things I envy you US people for. Good luck on your future endeavors and I hope to come back at your shop some day in the future when I can justify to buy one of your nice wallets!
This is absolutely amazing :) One quick question please: I have the same hot stamping machine, and it has this proprietary holder, where did you find someone to do a custom stamp that fits it? Thanks
Awww dang, these are insane looking. So sad I just saw this and missed out.
keep up the good work ! best wishes from India
Your face! Also this is awesome, congrats!
wow, those are beautiful! Speedy recovery to your wife (and you if you end up testing positive)!
