Stuff: Product Design & Manufacturing

Phil’s Wallets

Hand-recycled leather given a second life.

Since 2012 I’ve run this venture out of my home, delivering thousands of wallets to customers.

I was able to do this successfully by developing a unique manufacturing process that yields in a very fast turnaround, achievable with the low-tech machinery in the small footprint of my home.
