The Shop
We make everything right here in my tiny workshop in downtown Norfolk, VA--from the copper bracelet studs to the metal frames in the bags.

HEIRLOOM
A wallet you'll enjoy carrying for many years
Simple 1-Piece Construction
Watchbands designed to be super strong and to fit most watch faces (also available with Apple watch hardware).
Stitching That Lasts
Stitching by hand is time-consuming, but for leather goods that will become heirlooms, it's worth the extra time. All the wallets as well as the leather handles & detailing on the bags are completely sewn by hand.
Full-Grain Leather
The strongest part of the leather is just below the hair on the cow. This part of the leather also has the most character.
Originally "Waskerd", Now WERTHER
Naming the shop after my great grandfather is a small way I can honor my family heritage. Werther Arcelli immigrated to America fighting professionally as a boxer and becoming the welter weight champion of New England in 1934. He came to build a better life with his own two hands. I try to remember that as I strive to make a living with my own two hands in a slightly different way.
Follow on instagram
I spend an embarrassing amount of time making videos that I post to Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts. Check them out when you have some free time. I think they are worth the watch.
