They use real leather, it's not plastic. Louis Vuitton uses a canvas material that is layered over the leather. The canvas is there to protect and to keep the leather in shape for a longer period of use.
@@krazzysu Reason why Louis Vuitton products last through floods, tsunami's and water damage is because of their use in canvas. They layer canvas over high-quality leather. It does not deteriorate at all and if it does you might have an unauthentic Louis Vuitton product.
Keita Ueno most of their items are made with PVC coated canvas over fabric. The only leather being used is for the handles and straps. Very few of their wallets are made with real leather. Anything LV you see made with their monogram or damier print, is plastic. Trust me, I’ve repurposed many LV products.

Please dont stop the videos! Repurpose of the leather is your prerogative. You are not putting them out as authentic LV. They should be happy they are getting exposure.
My wife says you’re good with your hands too. 😞 Seriously though, do it. It’s therapeutic as hell. Just be prepared to get addicted and drop a ton of dough on tools, so don’t spend a lot on your first set of tools.
Don’t do it. You’ll find yourself making a million things, spend a lot of money on tools, and laugh at the idea of buying anything made out of leather. Not speaking from experience or anything haha
@@perasperaadastra7712 It's not a competition, and it shouldn't ever be one. Leatherworking is an incredibly vast craft that has been around for thousands of years. It is impossible to learn it all in one lifetime, let alone master all it. Of course there are going to be people better out there, but it's not about being the best. It's about being wherever you are in your creative journey and making steps as often as you can to improve your skill set and knowledge base so that the next thing you make is (hopefully) better than the last thing you made. It is silly to think that anything you (or anyone else) says could humiliate someone who has worked hard to learn a bad-ass skill, and then share that skill with the world in a way very few people can and do.
xPorsum the wallet is but the name is not, that’s the whole point. You’re not paying for a wallet. You’re paying into a lifestyle. That being said I have a 20 dollar Levi’s wallet.
They're not overpriced, just think about it, he has to pay all his local shops all over the world, and workers, even his website, what? You want that wallet for 40? Come on mate, be real.
Tried making a wallet at home after seeing your videos with divider, hammer and a nail. Mostly ended up good. But stitching were off and wasn't able to find waxed thread easily in my country 😅.. But thank you for inspiring me❤️
I love that you give people the tools to make high-quality products while showing the cost of the materials. It really shows that there are skilled craftsmen who can make beautiful custom pieces without the logo markup.
I just love to watch how you working on the projects..it just reminds me of my childhood days the noise of punching, sewing, pounding are just a music to my ears. I grew up when my mother has her business in bag making she had at least 20 employees that working day and night when school bags productions is at season, until the cheap Chinese bags gets in the market double lower than our price so the industries juell fell apart. and luckily my sister pursue the business and up to this day she still making the productions . My mother who is now 90 years old bless her heart, just love watching all your videos. Thank you and keep posting more videos ...

I think LV are pissed you revealed how much they are ripping people off. This is why I never like to buy brand names if at all possible. I would rather buy off people like yourself
Made for $35 and sold for $35 are totally different. I do not know how much time it took Corter to make the wallet, but one of the other comments says ~6 hours. So the selling price would depend upon how much the guy thinks his time is worth. If it's minimum wage(some $15), then it easily goes to $120. Also, LV going legal is because companies like theirs face a lot of counterfeiters and also for TM purposes
Yes, I agree pockets D & E are flipped. I’m using real nice leather, & learned the hard way. I cut the last leather I had, & then realized Corter’s possible error. Hmmm! Wonder if these pockets will still work inverted.
We usually punch the inside first so the holes land where we want on the pockets, then punch the exterior with the interior next to it and just make sure they roughly line up. It's not perfect but it usually works pretty nicely!
Epi leather ~ $5.50 French calfskin ~ $27.50 Thread ~ $0.5 Wax ~ free The fact that I'll spend double the time and the result won't even be half as good as yours ~ priceless.
Love your channel! So sorry people are hassling you. I find watching you work relaxing. It is very peaceful. It's nice to see someone make beautiful things from scratch.
I ran into issues with my stitching chisels getting stuck once the glued leather pieces start getting thick. Maybe that's why they punch holes before glueing?
Can you explain the stitching process/order of operations at the end where you are stitching the inner panel to the exterior? I love the look of the full border stitch at the bottom, ive seen a lot where they'll skip it. I see that you stitched across the fold before gluing. And then when you went down the other side did you meet that stitch at the fold?
yep! stitch across the fold and mark where the other side will meet - stitch to that point. The second stitch line meets up and completes the stitch line
We went fairly thin, about 2oz on the epi 1.5oz on the calf. It's pretty nice, they're both coated and waterproof so they're not the easiest to work with but the finished product feels like it's ready to go scuba diving

Looks like LV got a little jealous because you’re using real leather and not pvc plastic like they use for theirs, lol.

you should send in a picture, that's awesome! Shell ages so well
i have one from box calf. every two times i cream polish it and it looks like new. quality always lasts a long time

You forgot to put the LV logo on the wallet

How do you get your stitching holes to always perfectly line up with the corners?
We usually punch the inside first so the holes land where we want on the pockets, then punch the exterior with the interior next to it and just make sure they roughly line up. It's not perfect but it usually works pretty nicely!
Epi leather ~ $5.50
French calfskin ~ $27.50
Thread ~ $0.5
Wax ~ free

i'm actually a little upset they tried to come after you
Really? I can't find the article
Just brands being brands.
When will this be available on your website?
This is better than a Louie Vuitton! Louie’s are all made in factories by machine now. Don’t let them kid you!! Great work!
love the leather pattern used for inside parts of the wallet. How thick is it? and where is it possible to get?
Hi @Nadia ! I don’t know the thickness of the leather but you can find Epi leather online at Rocky Mountain Leather Supply :)
What material is that red board that you punch your holes on?
Pocket D and E are backwards on your pattern pack?

hello i was wondering where you purchased the leather you used for the inside
Nice video! :). I'm curious though: why do you punch stitching holes before glueing the pieces together?
Because he is a counterfeiter. They do this to make it look like the real thing even though it's a garbage knock off.
I ran into issues with my stitching chisels getting stuck once the glued leather pieces start getting thick. Maybe that's why they punch holes before glueing?
Your hand stitching is beautiful and you did it so quickly! Fantastic skill.
Is there a name for this ridges in the leather on the exterior? Looking for that exact style but blue
Where can I get that epi leather??
The link to Weaver doesn't show the Epi leather with the stripe design. Where did you source veg tanned Epi from. Most only sell chrome tanned.

is there a link to buy?
Where did you get that leather from?
what leather is the outside of the wallet, the long grains, is it natural
Epi leather 100% natural
@Corter Leather how thick is the leather used (mm)?
