In 2019, I traveled to Serbia and during my stay, I met Sreten, who was our guide at the time. He and his wife Ivona also ran a wallet company that made handcrafted leather wallets. Since then, their company, CRAFT&TOOL, has grown and now has 19K followers on Instagram.
I recently purchased a new wallet from Sreten via Instagram, choosing a combination of burgundy and red. These two colors are close on the color wheel but complement each other very well. I like having a dedicated wallet for my cards—it feels sturdy and secure.
When ordering from CRAFT&TOOL, you email or send your specific requests via DM, and they create the order based on that. It’s a personal and interactive way to do business. In my case, the wallet was made within 24 hours of placing the order.
I enjoy investing in items that resonate with me and that I can see myself using frequently. A wallet is a great example of such an item.
