Did We Make a BETTER WALLET Than GUCCI?!
In Part Two of our Gucci custom wallet series, we make our own CUSTOM Gucci wallet using the material we upcycled from the original Gucci Wallet we took apart in Part One. We made up a super nice inlay bifold wallet pattern and we walk you through the steps of making your own DIY Gucci wallet while also pointing out the spots you can make your DIY Gucci wallet BETTER than the original. Happy Crafting :)
PART 1: • GUCCI Leather Wallet h...
A burgundy leather would have been beautiful with that Gucci print
I bet this will patina nicely, though.
Oof he’s right
Omg yes
Your videos are so helpful, I thought I'd give back:
When gluing delicate pieces that require precision, use wax paper or a piece of clear plastic (like those binder sleeves we used to use in high school book reports) between the layers to block the portion not ready for contact. This allows you to control the contact in small increments as you pull the paper away an inch or so at a time. The wax paper or clear plastic also allows you to see what's underneath which also helps the process. Something else that helps is using the plastic as a template to block out your glue areas and protect the inlay.
Hope this helps!
the hidden insults are fire 🤣
I believe you will be the first leather working channel to reach 1,000,000 subscribers!
The leather frame around that Gucci canvas piece makes the wallet look more Gucci than the original one :o
Ash Wolf That’s even nicer though people love “vintage”
@Ash Wolf I don't think he's ever seen a Gucci wallet in person much less owned one
Really good advice at the end for leathercrafters although, it is also really good advice for any endeavor. What was the leather used and it looks like a soft temper? I have always avoided soft tempers because I fear the wallet will become misshapen too easily. That is why it is nice to have experienced leatherworkers to learn from.
Thats right. I'm new to the game, so I too appreciate watching someone who knows what they are doing and explaining how and why...
Happy New Year friend!
Gonna raid my wife's closet! LOL Gucci, Coach, LV, oh this is gonna be epic!
oh god RIP

@@Corter bro do u sell this products? Let me know pls🤗
@@Monir.1177 he cant sell anything with louis vuitton or any of those brands trade marks on it.
Didn’t realize I’d had a new hobby, until I watched this video.
You just gained a new subscriber today! I’ve always been super interested in leather working and you really make it simple and easy to understand. I hope to learn a lot from you!
That is so kind of you to share all your trade secrets. Open-source is the new way of thinking, where one should not be afraid of sharing technology. Thumbs up!
Right?! Thats how we as a human race have created such great things for centuries. From sharing our knowledge so it gets passed down and not forgotten.
drinking game: take a shot every time he says, "it's not bad, but it's not leather"
🥴
It's obviously a not so subtle code for he thinks the gucci wallet is a load of 💩
I am fucking hammered!
It's cheap plastic. Durable perhaps, but still cheap.
@@thorham1346 nylon is alla but "cheap" plastic.
Another well done video! The thoughts on design choices and the insights into how different materials impact both the design, build and strategy for a piece is such an awesome part of these videos. And the final wallet looks wonderful! Great job and thanks for sharing with us!!
I'm a little late today but l'm ready to do this! Lets go Corter! 😃
i love and appreciate the dialogue. especially when this channel was the reason for me getting into the hobby and buying all the tools. Thanks so much! Keep up the good work!
It was nice to hear your commentary, opinions, tips, ect. Also appreciate the step by step all the way through. Great channel, your work is awesome.
Very impressive! but is there anyway that you can keep wallet thickness to the original design? I noticed that your new wallet double the thickness, making it quite bulky without anything in it. I have seen full leather wallet made in lamb skin with that nice thin wallet design, but I doubt that it can last like yours, what other material can you use to stay thin but durable?
Very interesting. I was wondering if Gucci use nylon inside to make the wallet slimmer. I prefer a less chunky wallet.
I liked the tips and small talk as you worked. I totally get why you don't normally but once in a while :D thank you!. Great job as always of course and thank you for making videos at all - it helps me out a lot as I'm quite new to this. I have problems with "wonky" lines on the back side when I use a pricker on thick leather - happy to both see the fix and that I'm not just "lame".
Hi! About the last stitch you made, if you punch the holes on the front face of the interior piece and the front face of the exterior piece, won’t the diamond shaped holes not line up? If you lay them on top of the other, one would go / while the other goes \. I hope that made sense and you can help me out.
This has always been a problem for me when stitching through multiple layers. The saddle stitch ends up looking confused since the thread has to go through a change in direction while going through the holes.
Much love from the Philippines! ❤️
I would have cleaned the fabric before. This stain bothered me a lot.
I think he worsened the stain when he is attaching leather to the fabric, probably a good idea to cover up the pattern during the glueing process.
Yeah, I'm not sure what's going on there. It looks like a thumb print or something.
I'm not sure what happened with that stain.
I think it would probably damage the material if he cleaned it up the stained part would require treatment and that could discolour the stained part to a different tone from rest of the print, dry cleaning material may work but hard to tell on that type of fabric on outcome and over all balance of the fading after any treatment.
Looking for this comment. Was making me nuts. Maybe it looks worse on film than in person - that definitely happens.
@@drivethrupoet Just look at the difference between 3:30 and 4:00. It's a glue thumbprint 100%.
Great video! Super informative. Learned something new today. I recently broke apart my old Burberry wallet after watching your last video. Now I'll work to give it new life! Thanks for your videos! Love it!
appreciate your craft - you make it look so simple and easy
After watching this I started checking my leather wallets, and all of them have leather tops + nylon and rolled edges. And they were expensive 😭
Thanks especially your insight of the craft and the need to have skills in excess of what you deliver in order to consistently deliver good quality products.
Thank you Eric.
This is very close to how i like to craft my leather projects.
Thank you , so cool to hear you talk us through it again x
Shots fired 🔥
Question: when your punching the holes to stitch, how do you you ensure you end up with the right number of holes spaced correctly? Do you a bunch of those punch tools with different spacing?
He planned the stitch before he punch all the way in. In the previous he talked about this, he would use a 1 tooth iron to end sure the space is not end up matching, so there would be a stitch that is a bit shorter or longer but it's not really noticable. Hope this help.
👛 The use of nylon is more optimal for two reasons:
1. Wallet becomes thinner and lighter.
2. Nylon is more slippery and therefore resistant to constant movement of cards from pockets and back.
Some brands also add plastic card stock between the outer layers of their wallets to provide more structural support. My Burberry wallet is a perfect example of this, as soon as the rolled edges began to fail the card stock was immediately visible.
I'm going to try something like this. Is that like 5mm stitching chisel that you use here and in Hermes wallet? Looks pretty dope.
This is really inspiring me to start making wallets and learn more and more with each video !!
Love the work! I really appreciate that you explained in detail what you were doing and why. I love pushing my experience to new levels constantly learning is the way to go.
Jesus Christ, man, you're a magician! That is a beautiful wallet. Thank you so much for uploading these videos, I'm in love.
Just what I was looking for 😊 I’m buying the pattern
it's a fun one! Happy crafting :)
So many layers I found it hard to make it work but it was a good learning experience and a fun attempt...
this came out beautiful. great video. i love the fact that you hand sew everything. it comes out so much nicer and it also gives me the confidence that i can build products without the fancy sewing machines or even a stitching pony. very awesome. thank you.
I also have a leather wallet from a local workshop. It's absolutely strong and durable, even stronger than the branded wallet that i was using before.
"even stronger"
That's not exactly a high bar to cross.
You could have tacked the cut out cardboard piece from the surround onto the center of the Gucci then glue around it, using it as a mask and to help center the edging. We use techniques like this in couture, just a suggestion, hope that you Don't mind.
In some cases the nylon insert ensure that the card slots don’t loosen up so much the cards fall out.
You have made a great job of that wallet, it's most definitely better than Gucci's own one. I am surprised at how shoddy their materials really are, especially as they charge so much for them. I would buy yours over theirs any day.
I would say its different. If its better depends on how you want it. The Gucci one was a lot thinner and easier to carry, probably why they choose their material. Leather that thin would not last at all.
If you place wax paper on top on the glue before you place the leather frame over it then you can line it up without sticking, then just move the wax paper down gradually as you glue it down.
Love the narrative style of this video! Super interesting and educational, and that little opinion on skill cap is very inspiring. Keep up the good work and I for one would love to learn more from your videos :)
THIS WAS GREAT TO WATCH THANKS 4 SHARING ~
I really enjoy your videos..thanks very much...I'll take your product over Gucci anytime.
This is very informative and interesting!! I’d like to see more of these kinds of vids where you narrate. But hope you’d also continue with the asmr-like vids w/o music and narration coz it really helps me unwind. Overall, I really like your content!!!
great video which type of leather did you use trying to the same after buying the pattern :D
I very much like your videos
I really appreciate your work and your quality is better than mass production for sure but personally, I like the style of the original Wallets from LV or Gucci more. I'm just not a fan of the rounded edges and the stitching because it's so prominent. I think most leatherworkers on CZcams are working with this traditional, vintage kind of style and there is nothing wrong with it. It's just not for me.
Another great video. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.
What measurement was the Gucci inlay for the wallet you just made?
I've noticed you're using pricking irons for the inlay, could you provide a little more info on the spi. Also, I enjoyed watching your videos they're very informative, and the work you do is fantastic, keep up the great demos.
I think using full leather instead of the nylon material makes the wallet thick. Also imagine after putting the cards in. So i guess the trend now is to make thinner wallets. Maybe that's why Gucci used nylon, cause it's thinner.
The original also looks better. The thick rolled leather replacement really fights with the overall looks. It is too thick and wide IMO.
Like the man said, It's good but it's NOTLeather.
You can do that without making a rolled edge tho. That was his main problem with the whole design.
just bought a new corter wallet from watching a single of your videos. SOLD!
is he making it for a mob boss or something?? the whole time hes just like "this is so stressful" lmao
Have you tried using acrylic art varnish on the fabric? That would make it much more durable.
It appears a bit chunky, or will it be as thick as the original, once it is worn in?
Hey is there anny way u van wash the insert befor u put it in ?
This is so satisfying
I am absolutely loving these tutorials!
you sir deserve a cookie!
Whoo, that is a sharp tool !!
You can tell this is more than a job for this guy, it’s more of an escape that he takes a lot of pride in.
Thank you for this video. This was truly amazing. Your wallet is much better than the Gucci. I purchased four gator wallets from a company and they are very well made.
I think I want to try my hand at leather craft.
wallet came out beautiful
What a nice wallet
Will you show us how to mix and match fabric.. For example say we wanted to have a nylon liner...?
Nice attention to detail overall. Just a couple things I noticed. If you’re gluing to the smooth side of leather it will bond better if you rough it up a bit. Also, no stitching pony? 🤔
I'd love to see you make something with a combination of veg tan and selvedge denim. After seeing this video I'm even more convinced you'd make something truly wonderful.
Remember that kid who make duct tape wallets in class? This is him now.
Solid vid man, I'd say you made it a lot better, not just with quality, but design as well.
Beautiful work!
“Please don’t sit for years or months at a time v. Unhealthy” 🤣🤣
Love it, thanks for the inspiration
Great work. Your own version of the gucci wallet looked so good that it made the actual gucci pieces look like something from a dumpster. I can't believe that people pay hundreds of dollars for a piece of nylon.
bonjour , j'apprécie vraiment cette vidéo à sa juste valeur , car étant moi même réparateur je dois sans cesse reprendre des articles déjà fait et les réparer en essayant de perdre le moins possible de leurs originalité !!! et parfois le/la clients(tes) me laisse libre cour en réparations sans dénaturer le produit !!! donc cette vidéo rentre tout à fait dans mon domaine , je trouve que ce que tu as réalisé est exactement la façon dont j'aurais procédé !! bravo tu es vraiment bon !!!!! du reste je m'inspire souvent de tes pratiques dans mon travail , simple sobre mais terriblement efficace et maîtrisé de mains de maître !!!!
force et respect
Beautifully restored! Looks easy enough to try and make. Decisions : hand sew or machine sew, tough decisions.
Love this channel, your work is amazing 👌
I have a challenge! Could you make a wallet out of old scrap/waste leather from previous projects?
I'd definitely be interested in buying one!
Just to clarify, lots of little leather pieces sewn together like a Chucky doll!
Thanks I'm buying the pattern!
Wow so relaxing ! Thank you
I think your wallets are much better than Gucci, good job.
Very interesting to watch. Thanks!
Well said about going above your skill set
My husband watches you and wants to make himself a wallet. He doesn't really have time and isn't much creative, patient or knows about needles and seems. So I'll give this a try! Will be great for fathers day.
Can I ask a question I know that alot of thread is made of pol8but I'm unable to use polyester due to allergies can I use a heavy duty cotton thread with beeswax?do u have and suggestions for something else to use... also have you thought using modge podge on the fabric that's more delicate vintage on the ouside? It's just a thought..I havent bought anything to start this hobby so if I can only use polyester I guess I can just watch you artist making these beautiful creations.....mikelle New York USA mom😷✌
Love watching the videos, thinking of taking up the hobby as I love how simple you make it look. Thanks
Wow that’s beautiful
Great Job, thanks for posting.
Fine job! Good idea! Thanks
I may have been interested in bi-fold wallets a year ago, but as time changes so do people. Bi-fold wallets are just too bulky for me nowadays especially when majority of my transactions are debit and credit cards along with nfc payments via my smartphone. You need cash?, well there's an atm and banks practically just around every single corner of a street in NYC. Cardholder is all I mainly need as I'm going minimalistic now.
Your hard work deserves more attention man
This looks much better than the original
I love watching your videos, relaxing and interesting.
Damn, this video makes me want to send you my gucci wallet and transform it into this
Did you clean the Gucci fabric? It looks much cleaner. What was the process to get it clean?
What grain and color is that leather? It is exactly what I’m looking for!
It is much more beautiful than the original!
I blame you for my new undiscovered hobby
it makes me wonder if you can reinforce the fabric with a highly flexible epoxy or glue or whatnot. something that dries clear but keeps it from abrading as easily.
The wallet is well repaired. One or two nitpicks might be to offer colour variations of the re-made leather that blend the tones of the material and to have cleaned up the Gucci material so it's free of stains. But, other than that, I love your channel and videos. Keep it going.
Love your videos. What is that board that you are cutting on?
