You can't beat the craftsmanship on Ting's creations. I am looking to place my third order with him because he keeps making new designs that are better than the last! His TN's are heirloom quality and I doubt I will wear them out in my lifetime! I also have a TN with a wallet insert in Naughty Fox and it's so scrumptious! i also have the same in Cave Art and love it just as much.
I totally understand what everyone is talking about now! I had high expectations but I was still pleasantly surprised. The cave art looks amazing! ♥️♥️
Sarah Martinez oh yasss ! i love Ting , aside from the language barrier , he works with you to perfect your cover . i wouldn’t go to another custom tn shop because from the ones i’ve ordered from , if they’re not up to par they are way too expensive for me . . . but Ting keeps it at a reasonable pricing .
PS Sarah Martinez Thanks for sharing your beautiful TNs from Makers South. They have so many beautiful choices, and their prices are so good! My kids are getting into fountain pens and TNs, and I am so grateful to you for showcasing many different makers and sharing your journey, as I discover new beauties and discern what is essential. The more I know, the more I can help the children utilize these tools for growth. Thanks again, Sarah. I always learn something about myself from your videos. Cheers to your new Apple Pig. May it bring you much joy and the zen that only clever organization can bring.🥂
Thank you for your thoughtful comment! I’m so glad to hear the videos are helpful to you♥️. It also makes me smile that your kids are picking up the habit! I just ordered another Makers South yesterday for a photo project I want to start in 2020😄
Yummmm😉 Love his work! I have one sort of like this in an A6 not as many pockets and as a folio. My very first was a Duke Duck in a brown leather with the same kinds of patterns not sure if he still has that leather. Often they use up these leathers and can’t get them any more😦 I am going thru my collection and will be destashing this winter. So many new leathers and designs but I am trying to figure the most used and rehome the rest😉 thanks for sharing 🦋
I’m so glad to finally know what the fuss is all about! I’m going to take it on it’s first outing today😄. After Naughty Fox, I was attracted to Duke Duck! If I ever decide to get another one, it would probably be in that leather. I’m currently going through my entire collection also to keep only what I love-it’s a great feeling! Thanks for watching♥️
YAY another Apple Pig lover! I knew you'd like it! Ting has amazing craftmanship and he's super down for customizations :D I'm still trying to figure out my perfect config. but once I do, I'll be asking him for a custom design
I wouldn't know where to begin with a custom design! So many beautiful pockets to choose from! I'm glad I finally know what everyone is gushing about❤️
I LOVE my apple pig! I really like your personal and the leather is gorgeous. I got mine after seeing Amy Graham’s (same configuration) and it’s a pocket-size although the passport insert fits nicely. Ting definitely does excellent work. My only complaint is that the zipper pull, which is on a flap that fold inwards, is pretty big and kind of gets in the way. Just FYI in case anyone is thinking of that configuration (Amy has an unboxing). Thanks for sharing, Sarah!
I know exactly what you're talking about! I referenced Amy's video over and over while making a decision🤩. I saw how the zipper got in the way so I was attracted to the zipper being on the outside for the wallet 3.Thank you so much for watching!❤️
😂😂😂 I'm surprised it took me this long to finally get one! So take your time, you may find a design that really speaks to you. I still wouldn't have gotten one if this wallet 3 design didn't happen to be exactly what I was looking for!
Thank you for watching! It was a total shock how slim it stayed...I was hesitant about ordering because I expected it to become so bulky. It was a pleasant surprise!😀
Wow that is a gorgeous wallet. I am loving your setup! It seems like it will evolve as you use it because of how flexible the design is. Thanks for showing the different ways it can fold. Love that leather! Thanks for sharing! 🧡
Haha, so many places to put things! I have already found that it can fold back on itself on every spine because the leather has so much give to it. So I can place any card section on top and hold the whole thing with one hand! Thank you for watching♥️♥️
I would definitely suggest joining the FB group “Apple Pig Leather Art Fans”. You can see different configurations, sizes, and leather types. And people can recommend any specifics you’re looking for. You can customize so much so it’ll depend on what you’re wanting. ♥️
Yay! It's so beautiful, ApplePig TN's are simply the best. I haven't tried Naughty Fox leather yet but it looks lush. Two of my coasters stink really bad of a chemical smell so I left them by the window for a day and that helped so try giving it an air out 😊
@@sarahmartinezjournals red velvet and forest Magician smell heavenly. I have a coaster of Duke duck and rose Queen and both but particularly Duke duck smell really bad of chemicals. Not sure if that's just these two coasters or the leather in general but airing them out helped quite a lot 😀
Hey! Is the leather really flimsy since it is so thin? It's gorgeous and I'm going to order one, but just wanted to know about that. I ordered an A5 recently from another shop on Etsy and it also came with a notebook, but the leather is so thin and flimsy even all loaded up, it literally slides up and down on the front and back, so I'm not happy with that one, so will be selling that. Thanks for the video and showing the Apple Pig. :)
It's a thicker leather (the leather on the pocket areas have been thinned down to decrease bulk) but even so, the leather remains pretty pliable. When it's open, it kind of flops around in my hand, if that makes sense. But I've heard that some of his other leathers have a bit more structure...you could ask on the Facebook group!😊
I love my Apple Pig notebooks! Ting is so great, and can customize anything. I actually drew out what I wanted for an insert, and he made it perfectly. I got Son Sun leather and plain vege. tan leather. I love them both so much!
I’ve been so nervous to draw something for a maker but I’m glad to hear that you had a good experience with him! That son sun leather looks so attractive!
I couldn’t decide between honey beagle and naughty fox for the longest time! So I guess I’m saving HB and duke duck for whenever I decide to purchase again😄
This is my first time here. I have to rewind to watch because I am totally distracted by the little leather journal on the side. Used, well loved. Lovely. lol.
OH YAY FRIEND!!! LOVE THIS! What a nice new goodie. And isn't soft leather the best?! So glad you're happy with your new wallet. Enjoy the rest of your week and I'll see you in the next one. Much love and blessings! :)
"I think this is supposed to be a really good brand..." I laughted. YKK makes half the zippers in the world since WWII or something like that XDD. But this wallet, omg! So gorgeous. In a previous video you talked about this apple pig and I take a pick just to get spoiled for your video and found the wallet+TN mix so cute!! I want one now
For sure! 😀. The card slots were snug but not “too tight”. I didn’t have to fight to get my cards in. I’ll be interested to see if they loosen up too much over time.
I went ahead and messaged him after I asked you because your video got me so excited about the idea of it. It’s gorgeous and exactly what I’m looking for. Thank you for sharing! 🥰
I haven’t found where he has all his colors listed in one place. There’s individual listings for each leather scattered throughout the Etsy shop though. But he has this video going through them all that might be helpful ua-cam.com/video/sSuhtgikYM0/v-deo.html

Sarah, what an amazing wallet, you have a great taste! This summer you show us some amazing purchases, enjoy your beautiful leathers!
Aw, I’m so glad you have been enjoying the videos! Thank you so much for watching♥️♥️
I love my apple pig leather items - his craftsmanship is superb !
I’ve heard so many positive things about these products! I’ve really been enjoying this wallet♥️

How gorgeous! I’m really impressed with the amount of space it affords in such a slim profile. Loving the magic; thanks for sharing! 💕
Yeah I was shocked at how thin it remained after I filled all the card slots! I worried it would bulk up really quickly👍🏼. Thank you for watching!

Sarahhhhh. Not againnnnn. Now do I need an Apple Pig? That leather is stunning. Ahhhh. My husband is gonna have a cow. 😂 (literally..? 😂)
😂😂😂 I'm surprised it took me this long to finally get one! So take your time, you may find a design that really speaks to you. I still wouldn't have gotten one if this wallet 3 design didn't happen to be exactly what I was looking for!
Sarah Martinez yes!! I just ordered a cover for my Moleskine the other day from Makers South so I need to hold off for a while on covers 😂
I love this!! I see one of these in my future!!
Thank you!! It’s so worth it!♥️
@@sarahmartinezjournals Yep, totally getting one when he re-opens! I have watched your video like 4 times. lol
I just love this configuration!
Thanks for sharing your setup! I love the look of the leather and how slim it remains once it’s loaded up.

I’m looking for a new folder/cover for my Hobonichi weeks any suggestions in the Apple Pig?

Wow that’s stunning! And so functional!
Thank you! I’ve been surprised how easy it is to use when I’m out and about👍🏼

Naughty Fox is my favorite leather from Ting, he is a genius. You are down a dangerous road, so have fun.
😂😂😂thank you for the warning!!
I’m SO excited to watch this!
Least bulky I’ve seen. Love it!
I was so worried about how thick everyone else's seemed to look. And with ALL of my cards in there, I was shocked at how slim it stayed!

It looks a lot like the Nomad Leather Organizer
Good to know!👍🏼

@@sarahmartinezjournals It is really beautiful and changes so much over time. I would say it looks similar to your naughty fox now.
His work is beautiful, I've had honey beagle and it was gorgeous.
Lovely leather you got there 👌
I couldn’t decide between honey beagle and naughty fox for the longest time! So I guess I’m saving HB and duke duck for whenever I decide to purchase again😄
@@sarahmartinezjournals I had a sample of the naughty fox it's firmer that honey beagle but to me the honey beagle feels so luxurious.
Absolutely stunning ! Me who needs a cover for my Hobonichi A6, I hesitate even more after this video😅 OneStarLeatherGoods, Midori, Chic Sparrow,...
Haha! So. Many. Choices. Been wanting something from OneStar but I haven’t come up with an excuse yet😆
This is my first time here. I have to rewind to watch because I am totally distracted by the little leather journal on the side. Used, well loved. Lovely. lol.
Haha, I love that little guy! It broke in so nicely!🥰
OH YAY FRIEND!!! LOVE THIS! What a nice new goodie. And isn't soft leather the best?! So glad you're happy with your new wallet. Enjoy the rest of your week and I'll see you in the next one. Much love and blessings! :)
Thank you so much for watching! I love how this leather is able to fold back on itself😀. Love and blessings to you too♥️
i noticed in your notes a signature was required upon receipt. What shipper did he use?
It went through USPS once it got to the US (with tracking)👍🏼
"I think this is supposed to be a really good brand..." I laughted. YKK makes half the zippers in the world since WWII or something like that XDD.
But this wallet, omg! So gorgeous. In a previous video you talked about this apple pig and I take a pick just to get spoiled for your video and found the wallet+TN mix so cute!! I want one now
hahaha! Good to know about the zippers! And yeah, the wallet really met my expectations. It was so worth the wait!❤️
@@sarahmartinezjournals Many high end makers still use crappy zippers, ykk zippers are nice.
Well the other half are pure shit...zippers matter lol😜
🤩 Wow! That is gorgeous! Hmmm .. I could use that as an inbox wallet 🤔
Thank you!! I’m so happy with it♥️
Gives us an update in a couple of weeks please. Are the card slots tight/secure?
For sure! 😀. The card slots were snug but not “too tight”. I didn’t have to fight to get my cards in. I’ll be interested to see if they loosen up too much over time.
OMGoodness! What is the “order name” for this style?
It’s the “Wallet 3” design🤗
I loooove that so much!!!!!
Thank you!! Me too♥️
I love Apple Pig!!! 😍😍And not I miss the honey beagle I sold 💔
Ah! Sellers remorse is real😩. This is why I STRUGGLE with selling things!
Gorgeousness!!!
I feel the same!♥️♥️
The enabling is strong with this one. But fortunately for my ratty old wallet I didn't succumb to the temptation. It is stunning.
😂😂 I applaud your willpower! Thank you for watching♥️
And thank you for watching, Mits!❤️
Do you know if he makes this same setup in an A6 size? That might be a game-changer for me.
There isn't an A6 option in the listing BUT he is so willing to customize anything. I bet if you messaged him, he would be able to make it!
I went ahead and messaged him after I asked you because your video got me so excited about the idea of it. It’s gorgeous and exactly what I’m looking for. Thank you for sharing! 🥰
Of course now I'm pursuing his site lol, just cant seem to find color samples that have unique names reflected?
I haven’t found where he has all his colors listed in one place. There’s individual listings for each leather scattered throughout the Etsy shop though. But he has this video going through them all that might be helpful ua-cam.com/video/sSuhtgikYM0/v-deo.html
