1. Urbanist EDC Vertical Wallet Pattern by SHOOKA LEATHER

The Urbanist EDC Vertical Wallet by Shooka Leather is a clever, minimalist design that packs a lot of utility into a very small footprint. This pattern uses a single-piece construction, focusing on efficiency and a clean, vertical silhouette that is perfect for front-pocket carry.

Design Features

• One-Piece Design: The entire body is crafted from a single cut of leather.
• Secure Snap Closure: Unlike many slim wallets, this one features an integrated snap closure to keep your cards and cash securely in place.
• EDC Versatility: Includes a built-in eyelet, making it easy to attach a lanyard, keyring, or tether for a full everyday carry setup.
• Material Recommendation: We recommend using 3–4oz (1.2mm–1.6mm) leather; anything heavier may make precise folding points difficult to manage.

Skill Level: Beginner to Intermediate

This is an ideal project for beginners to intermediates. While the assembly is straightforward, the “origami”- style fold requires careful alignment to ensure the snap and eyelet align perfectly. It’s a great way to practice hardware installation while producing a high-quality, professional piece.

Design Features

• Traditional Bi-Fold Layout: A timeless design that offers a familiar and dependable silhouette.
• Spacious Storage: Features four dedicated card slots on the front and two larger “hidden” pockets behind the panels for less-used items.

• Pre-Marked Stitching: To make things easier, this pattern comes with all stitching holes marked at approximately 6mm spacing.

Skill Level: Beginner to Intermediate

This is a fantastic beginner-to-intermediate project. While it follows a traditional assembly process, it’s a great way to practice working with multiple layers and perfecting your edge finishing. It’s straightforward enough for those newer to the craft but provides a very professional, “boutique-quality” result.

The wallet pattern is available for print on letter size or A4 size paper. We also offer it as a “laser ready” file perfect for laser cutting and an acrylic pattern set.
