About Me
Welcome to BM Leather AKA Cardboard_Leather, where craftsmanship meets creativity. My journey with leather work began in 2014 after a series of surgeries led me to discover a new passion. From my first multi-tool case to the high-quality wallets I craft today, each piece is a labor of love, created entirely by hand to ensure the best possible quality.
(NOTICE) B&M Leather is my non-TCG work and Cardboard_Leather is my TCG specific work.

Custom Linings
Thanks to advancements in AI, I can create unique artwork for your wallet lining. Choose from images in the artwork gallery or provide a theme for a custom creation. Please note, I cannot use copyrighted or trademarked materials.
About BM/Cardboard Leather
I joined the Marine Corps in 2009 and was discharged in 2012. After 10 surgeries and both feet reconstructed in 2014, I discovered leather work. My first piece was a multi-tool case, and despite its flaws, I was hooked. In 2019, I made my first wallet and fell in love with the process. Now, I create wallets exclusively, viewing each one as a piece of art. I guarantee top-quality craftsmanship and unique, long-lasting wallets.
About the BM Mercury Wallet
I use top-grade premium leathers, mainly from the Badalassi Carlo tannery in Tuscany, Italy. And I use Julius Koch's Tiger Thread from Germany for the strongest saddle stitch. The adhesive is Barge contact cement, and the edges are hand-burnished with Tokonole from Japan. My tools come from Russia and Ukraine, and my customers span the globe. Fun fact: a picture of my BM Mercury wallet is on a hard drive being sent to the moon, thanks to an event by Mr. Beast. My wallets are literally out of this world!
Guarantee
I offer free repairs when possible and 100% refunds on defective construction. To date, I have had zero returns (last updated 03/13/2026).
