Our Story
Our Story
Real wood. Real leather. Made by hand in a small shop.
Designs on 300 is a small maker shop run by Jason Kraai. Every TreeShell wallet starts as a board of solid hardwood and a hide of genuine leather, and leaves our shop as something you'll carry every day.
We started making TreeShell because most wallets are either bulky leather bricks or cheap metal card holders. We wanted something slim, light, and warm to the touch, with the character only real wood can give.
How a TreeShell is made
From board to pocket
Cut
We cut walnut, cherry and maple panels on our CNC router and laser, so every wallet fits and closes the same way.
Finish
Each wood face is sanded and finished by hand to bring out the grain and protect it for daily use.
Assemble
We pair the wood with genuine leather, an RFID-blocking layer and a magnetic money clip, then check every wallet before it ships.
No two alike
Every wallet is one of a kind
Because we use real hardwood and real leather, the grain pattern and leather texture on your wallet will be unique to it. That's the point. It's a small piece of a tree, made into something useful.
At 2.63" × 4" and just 1.8 oz, a TreeShell holds up to 6 cards plus cash and disappears into a front pocket.
