Announcement

Last updated on Apr 25, 2026

No custom orders at the moment as I’m too busy building stock for upcoming live markets.

Maker of Leather Wallets, Card Holders, Notebook & Passport Covers, Chisel Guards, Golf Tee Caddies and soooo MUCH more. I lean toward the minimalist style of design with a flare for contrasting colours and/or patterns; using only the highest quality leathers curated out of Wilke, Saskatchewan.
Entire process is done by hand: Measuring, cutting, hole punching, gluing, sanding, saddle stitching, edging, painting and burnishing.
Please subscribe to my Manly-Man Designs Youtube channel for detailed product videos; They're a great companion piece to all these still images.
You can also visit my Instagram and Facebook pages, Twitter and Pinterest for further details such as videos and work in progress pics.

I am thrilled with my new leather bell ornament. I collect ornaments and love that it's from a local vendor.

I ordered this as a gift for my cousin, who travels frequently and loves local goods. Mike was incredibly friendly and helpful (even in response to my many questions and requests!!) The passport case arrived on my doorstep super quickly and was such great quality. I'm impressed and very happy with this purchase!

The craftsmanship of this product is worth every penny! The quality is impeccable! I got a similar cover on Amazon (trying to save a buck) and there's no way it even compares to the one I ordered from ManlyMan Designs. Truly I am impressed! Theres not many people who do chisel covers for timberframing tools and I was glad to find this company. 100% recommend. I don't typically leave reviews but honestly, so worth it. Your tools deserve quality covers. Thank you!

MMD Bio

By the Fall of 2018, I’d moved on from being a hobbyist woodworker to a hobbyist leather craftsman. Accumulating tools and experience, I began creating minimalist style wallets, bifold and trifolds, card holders, notebooks, tool rolls plus a number of more challenging custom orders for friends, family and complete strangers who’d reached out via the good ole interwebs 😉

I want to create functional art by hand that a person will cherish for a very, very long time. Whether it’s a piece in their pocket, in their vehicle or in their home, I think MMD is the right choice.

MMD items are completely handmade: hand measured, hand scratched, hand cut, hand stitched, hand beveled, hand painted, hand edged and of course hand burnished. It might look like a machine was used for the stitching but that simply comes with time and practice.
