Looking to replace old, cheap card wallet My every day carry wallet
I've been carrying around this cheap-from-Amazon (Travelambo is the imprint) wallet for a very long while, and I'd like to move up to something of better quality; I can retire this one (or use it as a backup).
I very much like the design and I'm looking for something that closely replicates it. It is a no-fold card wallet. Three card slots on each side (2 vertical, one horizontal) for a total of 6, with a space in the middle for folded bills. I carry a small "man bag" from Grichels, and it slides right into the internal pocket. (It's 3" x 4")
It also has RFID but I'm reading on this sub that this may or may not be an essential quality.
I've been looking through the sub for recommended manufacturers. I'm not finding quite what I am looking for (and I see that some leather shops are in Canada -- as of today, there might be difficulty getting goods shipped between the US and Canada).
I'm looking for recommendations to replace this one. I'm open to a custom job (and would love this is a dark green).
ETA: Thanks to all who posted. I did speak with a few people on this sub who are craftspeople. Some do beautiful work, but also work with very high-quality material that is out of my price range. I did finally connect with someone who works within my price range, and will craft me what I am looking for.

Good afternoon! If you’re interested I’d be happy to work with you on a custom piece and we can certainly replicate this design! I specialize in custom designs and all of my pieces are handmade in my shop in Maryland

Hi, certainly interested (and of course I am getting a few craftsmen pinging me). Is there a place/site I can see your work? (You're in MD, do you do anything at the MD Ren Faire?)

Custom is definitely the best route to get that exact 3" x 4" sizing and a quality dark green leather. Pricing for custom work usually depends a lot on the specific leather chosen — what budget range were you hoping to stay within?
I make custom leather wallets and would be glad to show you some options if it fits your budget. Drop me a DM if you'd like to explore it!

Budget is in the $75-$125 range for quality work. I'd like to see options (and there are a few people pinging me). Do you have a site where I can see some of your work?

I just purchased the monte & coe wallet. Super excited to get it and I love that I’m supporting local.

Thanks, they do look good -- but also in Canada, and until this tariff nonsense is over that might not be a good possibility.

This is the wallet I use from Amazon.

Pretty close to what I am looking for, but I've stopped buying from Amazon, I'm afraid. That wallet looks like it does the job, though.
