The Flapper has contrasting elements, so a combination of two colors looks great. Choose a main color and an accent.

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.

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.
