There are many similar cardholder out there but I drew the pattern for this one myself.

Made from a single piece (kind of a big T shape), veg-tan leather, hand dyed, and saddle stitched with linen thread.

There's a coin compartment, and another one that will easily fit 5-6 cards.

As always, happy to share any details.

For a second I thought I was on the 3d printing sub and was very impressed/confused

    Damn, it looks really nice. Love the colors. Did you dye it yourself? What kind of dye is used on leather?

    I use fiebings, they have two type of dye, the regular and the 'pro' one. Regular dye are alcohol based, and the pro one have a mix of oil and alcohol. I mostly use the pro dye, but I've had good results with both.

    The one I used here is their royal blue pro dye.

    Vegan leather, so presumably soy based ;-)

    I use dyes from a company called Fiebings on leather projects, but I’m not OP.

    Very nice! I love how the dye isn't perfectly even.
