Makr
Is anyone familiar with Makr?
It's a leathercraft company in the USA that makes some really creative stuff. The construction of some of their pieces are like magic tricks or puzzles.
Look how the stitches are hidden in these wallets: https://makr.com/cascade-wallet-tan
or this "loop" construction, where pockets have no visible stitches:

or how this key fob is stitched at all:
or these techniques that sound different like welding and laminating:
Anyone know how these magical techniques are done?

Hey yiggort,
As the others said, they have some interesting designs, but to me, that's it. I'm not going to lie, they did make me question the price I put on my own wallets... But as for what you've asked, and not trying to deconstruct any of them, as per the forum rules, I think what's been said is pretty much how they are made. The bifold, for example, I think the pockets are stitched at the bottom and the only reason we don't see it is that there's no picture of the inside of the bill compartment. The rest (sides and top) are simply glued, nothing much.
The fob, I agree, is stitched across.
The cardholder is the more interesting one, I think. Looks like it's a piece of leather or other material wrapped with thin leather and then a slot is cut on one of the sides but not passing completely through all layers, if that makes sense.
Anyway, I hope I'm not infringing the rules, if that's the case, just delete my post.
