New Volta Option: Split Side!

At Studio Hall, we are always looking for ways to add functionality to designs that we've already been working with for a while. In the case of our Volta cardholder, "a while" means "since the beginning days of Studio Hall"! Typically, the Volta is extremely minimalist, with three toploading card slots. This makes the standard Volta fantastic for those who only occasionally carry some twice-folded cash for emergencies, but we thought it would be fun to see if we could adapt the Volta to work better for those who carry cash more often. 

And lo! The split-side Volta variant was born! With the exact same dimensions as our standard Volta, we opened up the right side of the cardholder and added a second stitch line to create a pinched clamshell out of the middle pocket. This way, the Volta can accept a generous amount of once-folded US currency while maintaining the two outer card slots and slim profile! If you aren't on that cash-carry life, the classic Volta still has your back.

The split side modification is currently a free customization option on our Volta order page, and if you are making your own Volta from our free pdf/svg pattern, you can check out our new YouTube tutorial here to learn to implement the split side. The Volta is a beginner-friendly pattern, so if you are new to the world of leathercraft, or if you need a quick gift idea, the Volta is a fantastic place to start. Our pattern download contains a list of needed materials and tools.

We hope you enjoy the new functionality of the Volta, whether you are designing one for order or crafting our pattern yourself. Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions!
