The Ethos

Built for the pocket,
not the logo.

AG Leatherworks was born from a simple frustration: the world is full of bulky, over-designed wallets that prioritize logos over pocket-feel. Every piece I make is a rejection of that.

Heritage materials

Full-grain, vegetable-tanned leather sourced from Italian tanneries — the kind that develops a patina over years, not months.

The natural edge

Every edge burnished by hand without dyes, preserving the beautiful, raw look of the leather layers as they were cut.

Intentional design

No unnecessary bulk. No loud branding. Just the highest quality materials, allowed to speak entirely for themselves.

I believe your daily carry should be a silent companion — functional, slim, and crafted without the need for flaunting.

The Hand Behind the Stitch

Ashwani Gupta

I have always had the drive to make things. For a long time, the right circumstances were out of reach. Five years ago, those doors opened, and I haven't put my tools down since.

What started as a personal quest to build a better, slimmer wallet has evolved into a deep respect for traditional craft. Every piece I make is an honest object — built to outlast trends, improve with age, and mean something to the person who carries it.

Based in Arlington, VA. Happy to meet local customers in person.
