Sustainable Leather Goods Treasured for a Lifetime
Take your networking to a whole new level with our sustainable and fully customizable leather NFC business card that will leave a lasting impression.
With a tap of their phone, potential clients or colleagues are instantly directed to your contact information, website, LinkTree or social accounts! Chances are they’ll want to chat about your savvy leather card. Just like that, a new budding business relationship is formed, and they won’t forget you in a hurry!
To learn more about NFC, read our blog here.
Full details below. Don't feel like reading? - check out our video instead!
1. Decide what URL link you want the NFC to direct to - website, vCard (digital contact card to save to phone), LinkTree, social media etc. PLEASE note, QR codes don't engrave well on leather. If you require a QR code, our Wooden NFC Cards are the best option
**You can only choose one URL - if you want the option to go to different URLs, linking it to your LinkTree is the best option.
2. If you want a vCard digital Contact card - follow the steps below in "Digital Business vCard Generation"
3. Include the following details with your order:
4. I will send you a mockup to confirm design - keep an eye on your emails for this. There will be some back & forward as we get the design just as you want it.
5. Start tapping & scanning straight out of the box! Your digital business card comes all set up, ready to use for up to 100,000 taps.
Confused? - That's no problem, email me any questions at all - Sarah, info@stagworxleather.co.nz
This step is OPTIONAL & only necessary if you want the NFC to direct to a digital contact card.
If you want your card to direct to a downloadable contact card, the simplest way is:
1. Visit vcard.link/card
2. If you wish to edit details in the future, LOG IN USING YOUR EMAIL & PASSWORD. This is important as it allows you to make changes to the contact details later. If you don't, you'll need to direct the card to a new URL link (easily done though...)
2. Fill in your business card details (email, ph, website etc)
3. Upload logo or photo (NOTE: vcard.link only accepts 250kb photo files - to resize a file go to resizepixel.com)
4. Download the URL link & include it with your order (I only need the URL - using this URL I can set up the NFC and create a QR code for you)
**NOTE: There are many websites to generate a vCard link - some have better options for branding the card look etc. Search around and find what is best for you. I can help with any questions, but it is best if you create the link yourself to allow you to edit it later.
All recent modern phones have NFC readers.
All iPhones from iPhone 6 onwards can read NFC tags. iPhone readers are on top edge of the phone.
Most modern androids can too. Android readers are generally in the center, back of the phone.
Please check your phone’s compatibility before purchasing
We can do bulk orders for your whole team.
5 or more cards 10% off (automatically applied at checkout)
All our prices are GST inclusive
We are capable of doing large orders. Anything over 50 cards, please email info@stagworxleather.co.nz first to confirm estimated time frame to make
The internal NFC tag can last up to 10 years.
If it ever stops working though, we can replace the internal tag and return your beautiful leather item to you for a small fee.
Investing in leather goods, with hand stitching, means it can be undone & repaired any time!
WARNING: Do not bend the leather card. This will destroy the internal chip.
We can engrave logos, names in nice fonts, images, initials, in any layout you like.
When ordering, please upload any logo files you have, and a good description or sketch of the layout you would like.
I will send you a mock-up of the final design if needed, so please keep an eye on your emails.
File Types:
Not all logos engrave well. Rest assured if I cannot engrave it, I will issue a refund immediately.
A high quality .svg, .ai or vector file is ideal. I can work with high quality PNG, but it is harder & logo dependant. If there is a colour background, a transparent file is most useful/background removed.
You are welcome to send the logo to info@stagworxleather.co.nz before ordering if you would like the logo checked first
We handcraft to order to allow for our custom engraving service.
If our site is offering preorders only, this means we have more than 2 weeks of work ahead of us.
Please expect 2+ week wait for preorders.
How long does it take to make my order? We make to order. For standard orders please allow up to 2 weeks (often our job queue is large!). For preorders, please expect 2-4 weeks.
Are these made in NZ? Yes! I handcraft everything in our solar powered workshop in rural Whanganui.
Is it NZ leather? No - I cannot source veg-tan leather made at a commercial scale in NZ. The only option in NZ is Chrome-tanned leather, which I do not like the heavy metals involved in the tanning process, plus it is dangerous for me to engrave due to the chemicals involved. So I select the safer low chemical, no heavy metal option - but unfortunately I need to source this from overseas. But the bonus for you is it's a beautiful strong leather!
Do you use sewing machines? No. We hand saddle stitch everything. We use a very strong thick linen thread (no polyester!). A machine would not cope with this thread, and creates a weaker result. Hand stitching is slower... but good things take time...
Why are they sold out? Our items are often in demand. If marked as sold out, this means we have a large order queue at present. Preorders are usually available during these times.
Sarah
Leather Artisan
I'm Sarah, founder and owner of Stagworx leather. Nestled away on a small farm near Whanganui, New Zealand, I have a long lasting love of natural, quality goods. I design and make my leather pieces with practicality in mind. They're made to last, withstand the elements, and maintain a personal touch. Check out my store, or get in touch today if you have a special leather piece you would like made.
With a passion for natural materials, we create high quality leather goods to last a lifetime.
Each Stagworx piece is made from 100% full-grain leather that goes through an all natural vegetable-tanning process using tree bark and other organic materials.
The result? High quality leather that is biodegradable, and doesn't harm the environment during it's creation. No chemicals. No acids. No Chromium.
Every leather piece that requires stitching, is hand saddle stitched with linen thread. We choose this method over machine stitching, as we know saddle stitches last longer and are more reliable. At Stagworx Leather we value quality over speed.
Once crafted, all our leather goods are finished using natural oils and beeswax. As a result, our goods each have a unique look, that will age beautifully.
Why choose Stagworx Leather goods?
From nature. Returned to nature. With a lifetime of use in between.
Our Five Year Stitching Guarantee:
We back the quality of our materials and work.
Every piece that leaves our workshop is covered by our five year stitching warranty. Our guarantee covers any faults in the stitching of our products, when used under normal conditions.
The guarantee does not cover normal wear and tear, or wearing out over time.
If there is a failure in the stitching in the first 5 years, simply return to us for re-stitching free of charge.
All our goods can be repaired for a small fee at any time in their life. Full-grain leather can last a lifetime if conditioned regularly and cared for. We do not expect any issues with the leather. And stitching can always be re-done if ever needed.
They really are designed to last a lifetime!
