About
Hip-Po Wallets are designed and made by Iggy in Vancouver, British Columbia.
The signature curved profile began with a simple ergonomic idea: a wallet should sit naturally in the hand, carry what its owner actually needs, and improve with use. Each piece is cut, edge-finished, and saddle-stitched by hand rather than produced on an assembly line.
Iggy works with character-rich leathers including Horween Dublin, Horween Chromexcel, bison, and selected Italian hides. Natural grain, pull-up, scars, wrinkles, and colour variation make every piece distinct.
Built from full leather
Construction is part of the Hip-Po look. Each wallet is built from full pieces of substantial 4–5 oz leather rather than T-pocket assemblies. This creates a solid structure designed to wear in slowly and serve its owner for a long time.
The edges are kept natural rather than dyed, leaving the leather layers and their honest cross-section visible. Those exposed layers are not an unfinished detail; they are a deliberate part of the design and develop character with use.
Hip-Po is a small made-to-request workshop. Existing models provide a starting point, but every request is reviewed before an order is accepted. This keeps the work personal and ensures that materials, construction, capacity, timing, and price are clear before payment.
Easy out. Easy back.
The signature curve follows the hand, clears a pocket edge and gives the fingers a secure place to grip.
Cut by hand. Built by Iggy.
Real workbench clips—from cutting the leather to checking the finished piece. Every Hip-Po item is made one at a time by the same hands.
