By carefully selecting the leather to cut from the hide, and hand rubbing their dye colour to enhance its individual grain, Fiona crafts a one-off piece, with a unique finish, that is exclusively theirs.

Fiona's leather knowledge, designs and craftsmanship ensures each customer's Sparrowhawk leather piece is fit for purpose, beautiful and stands the test of time.

Fiona Ritchie Leather Artisan & Lifestyle Farmer

It takes knowledge, practiced techniques, and the best materials to achieve true leather craftsmanship. From 2014, when I made my first Pilot Logbook Cover following 3 days private tuition at a working tannery in Sydney, True Leather Craftsmanship has been my gold standard for Sparrowhawk.

Since then, I have made close to 2500 leather pieces from my Hunua Farm workshop. These include wallets, journal covers and documents holders. Each one is custom made, and personalised for its owner. Sparrowhawk Leather’s renowned Pilot Logbook covers are trusted and treasured by hundreds of pilots across NZ and Australia.

Whether commissioned as special gifts, business accessories or for personal use, Sparrowhawk Leather’s bespoke pieces are prized by their owners and recognised for their distinctive quality.

Black Leather Wallet

I ordered this wallet during an extremely busy holiday, Christmas and was immediately contacted via phone call to inform me that because of the amount of orders piling up I probably wouldnʻt be getting my personalized wallet until after New Years and was even given a wallet that had already been made just not personalized yet, if I wanted one in time for Christmas. Great communication, extremely friendly and understanding - I was fine waiting for after new years, I wasnʻt in a rush because itʻs being made by hand! However I was delightfully surprised to find an email saying that she had been able to finish it quicker than expected and just in time for the holiday! My S.O. loves it! Itʻs been a couple of months since and he still stares at it from time to time absolutely in love! Iʻm actually a bit jealous! haha I 1000% recommend!

Fantastic craft!

I bought my partner a wallet for Christmas and it is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. So happy I found you and will definitely be recommending. Thank you again!

Slim bifold wallet

Fantastic service and product alike.
Fiona was lovely and very professional throughout the whole process, extremely thoughtful down to the last detail.
I am very happy with the wallet I ordered for my brother from Sparrowhawk, would definitely recommend this brand to anyone and everyone!

Frequently Asked Questions

Most times of the year, please allow 8 working days for our Leather Artisan, Fiona Ritchie, to make your order, plus Courier Delivery time. More time may be needed at certain times of the year including Christmas and Father’s Day when Fiona has a high number of orders to make.
When we receive your order, we will send you an email to confirm our making time. You will be able to cancel your order at that time, should our making time be unworkable for you. If we do not hear from you within 12 hours, we will consider you have agreed to our making time, and will accept your payment and Fiona will start making your order.
If you need your order earlier for a special occasion, Fiona may be able to make in 3 working days. This will involve her working longer hours, so a $25 premium will apply. Remember, there will still be Courier Delivery time.
If you want to gift your piece earlier than Fiona is able to make it; we can prepare a personalised Gift Card with your message and details of the piece you have ordered, plus expected delivery date.

The letters are 6mm high each. More than 4 letters can look a little too large.
Lower case letters are not available in the alphabet embossing set.
Please type your initials how you would like them, including the dots or no dots. When we email to confirm our making time and the details of your order, we will confirm your preference regarding dots with initials.
Fiona's unique embossing method leaves the indentations of the embossed initials a "natural & undyed" so they are prominent on the wallet. If you would like your embossed initials to be the same colour as the wallet (indentations filled in with dye colour), please let us know by making a note on your order at checkout.

Fiona has recommended colour combinations that she knows work well with this design and inner colour. The inner colours can not be changed, and stitching looks best on the inside when it matches the inner colour.
If you would like another hand dyed outer colour, please Contact Fiona.
If you wish to see a WIP photo, please be aware it will take us time to photograph and email, and we will have to stop work while waiting for your approval, and recommence later, so our completion may be delayed. An additional admin fee of $15 will apply.

Our 100% full grain calf leather inners are made by some New Zealand leather manufacturers living in Australia. They make premium quality inners used by some of the best leather artisan in the world, particularly the Sheridan style leather carvers in the US. They buy the leather in bulk and then use a “knife” (a bit like a cookie cutter) on a clicking press machine to cut out the numerous pieces, which are assembled with stiffening and other materials, and sewn on a leather sewing machine. These knives cost around $100 each, and 6 or more may be required for one “inner”. In this way, their designs are predetermined and can not be changed with a minimum quantity being produced. Using these quality inners allows Sparrowhawk to make 100% leather wallets that are cost effective for our customers.
