Leather Card Holder Wallets

Our leather comes from Parisian suppliers who prioritise quality and sustainability.

Vegetable-Tanned Leather Scraps

Tanned with natural plant-based tannins, free from synthetic chemicals. It develops a rich patina over time, evolving with use. By working with surplus leather, we embrace the natural marks and textures that make each piece unique. No two are ever the same.

Reclaimed Materials

Where possible, we source leather from forgotten or unused items—vintage shops, overlooked stock—giving these materials a second life. The leather is restored, its character preserved, and transformed into something meaningful.

Full-Grain Leather

We use full-grain leather scraps—the strongest, most refined part of the hide. It ages beautifully, developing a deep patina unique to its owner.

Split Leather

For lighter internal elements, we use split leather—a byproduct of the leather industry. It allows us to use more of the hide without compromising on quality or structure.

Ingrassato Leather

Our leather card holder wallets are made with ingrassato leather—a traditional process where oils and waxes are worked into vegetable-tanned leather, enhancing its strength, softness, and natural water resistance without covering up its true character.

• Why It Matters: This treatment not only boosts durability but gives the leather a smooth, rich feel that only improves with time.
• Aged to Perfection: As it wears, ingrassato leather develops a deep patina, adding texture and depth that’s impossible to replicate with factory finishes.

We’re not interested in using treatments just for the sake of it. If it doesn’t enhance the leather in our leather card holder wallets, it doesn’t make the cut. Simple.

Vegetable Tanning

Our leather is vegetable-tanned using natural tannins extracted from plants. This process preserves the leather’s texture while allowing it to develop a unique patina over time.

Chrome-Tanned Leather

Occasionally, we incorporate chrome-tanned leather for its softness, flexibility, and rich finish—ideal for pieces that need a bit more give while staying durable.

Waxed Finish

To add a layer of protection and shine, we apply a waxed finish. This helps the leather resist wear while maintaining its natural and refined look.

Hand Brushing

We sometimes brush the leather by hand to give it a softer texture and a matte finish. This meticulous care enhances the leather’s natural beauty while preserving its qualities.

These aren’t machine-made. Each card holder is crafted by hand in our Paris atelier, where precision is the standard.

The Devil is in the Details

• Edges – Skived and burnished by hand for a smoother, more durable finish that stands the test of time.
• Stitching – Sewn by hand using the saddler’s stitch. Stronger, more refined, built to last.
• Threads – Linen thread, waxed by hand with beeswax for durability and resilience.
• Cutting – Each piece is hand-cut to preserve the leather’s natural character.

You’ll notice marks and variations—that’s not a flaw, it’s a signature. No two are the same.

As well as using repurposed leather scraps and water-based dyes for our leather card holder wallets, we also offer carbon-neutral shipping on every order, supporting certified carbon removal initiatives.

Keep your leather card holder wallet in excellent condition with these simple steps:

• Clean Gently: Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap when needed. Avoid soaking the leather to prevent damage.
• Condition Regularly: Apply a leather conditioner every 6-12 months to keep it soft and protect against drying or cracking.
• Store Properly: When not in use, store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.

With care, your leather card holder wallet will develop a patina that makes it feel like it’s been with you forever. The more it’s used, the better it looks.
