First Impressions:
I’ve been a long-time fan of both Willow Craft Goods and Open Sea Leather, so when this collaboration was announced, I knew I had to jump on it. Seeing these two design philosophies merge into one piece is incredible. The moment I unboxed it, the quality of the Dollaro leather stood out—the pebble grain texture is beautiful and feels substantial in the hand.
Design & Aesthetics:
The color blocking on this specific build is striking. The contrast between the Black and Red Dollaro gives it a bold, aggressive look that still feels sophisticated. The black thread keeps the focus on the leather texture, while the matte silver hardware provides a clean, modern accent that ties the whole piece together.
Craftsmanship:
As expected from these two makers, the stitching is tight and the edges are finished to perfection. The wallet manages to stay slim while still offering that clever pocket layout both brands are known for. It’s rare to find a wallet that feels this "stunning" right out of the box, but this collab definitely hits the mark.
Final Thoughts:
I am incredibly happy I managed to snag one of these. It’s more than just a place to hold my cards; it’s a piece of craft history from two of my favorite leather smiths. If you ever have the chance to get in on a future drop, don't hesitate.
