Leather Card Holder Wallets: Materials & Sourcing
Where Our Leather Comes From
The leather for our leather card holder wallets come from suppliers in Paris who take their quality and sustainability seriously.
Vegetable-Tanned Leather Scraps
- Made using natural tannins from plants, free from harmful synthetic chemicals.
- Ages beautifully, developing a rich patina over time.
- By using surplus leather, we embrace the subtle marks and textures that make every leather card holder wallet one of a kind, ensuring no two are ever the same.
Reclaimed Materials
Where possible, we source leather from forgotten or unused items, giving these materials a new purpose. Vintage shops and overlooked sources provide high-quality leathers that would otherwise go unused.
We then restore their natural beauty and transform them (back) into something meaningful.
The Leathers Behind Our Card Holder Wallets
Full-Grain Leather
We use full-grain leather scraps—the toughest, most premium part of the hide. It’s built to last and, over time, develops a rich patina that makes each leather card holder wallet unmistakably yours.
Split Leather
For the lighter internal elements, we use split leather—a byproduct of the leather industry. It balances practicality with sustainability, letting us use all parts of the leather that would otherwise go to waste without sacrificing quality or structure.
Chrome-Tanned Leather
Occasionally, we incorporate chrome-tanned leather. It’s soft, flexible, and has a rich, vibrant finish, making it perfect for leather card holder wallets that need a little more flexibility without losing durability.
Waxed Leather
When we need extra resilience, we go for waxed leather. It’s water-resistant, textured, and perfect for leather card holder wallets built to endure—rugged yet refined, designed to take real use.
The Leather Treatments We Use
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.
Leather Card Holder Wallets: Craftsmanship
Made by Hand in Paris
These leather card holder wallets aren’t made on a machine—they’re made by hand. Every single one is crafted in our Paris atelier, where precision is the rule, not the exception.
The Devil is in the Details
- Edges: We skive and burnish the edges by hand. It takes time, but it makes them smoother and more durable, so they’ll hold up for years.
- Stitching: Each stitch is done by hand because it’s stronger and gives the leather card holder wallet a more polished, lasting finish. It adds depth to the card holder’s overall look and durability.
- Threads: We use linen thread, waxed by hand with beeswax. It’s stronger and lasts longer, so the card holder can take whatever you throw at it.
- Cutting: Every card holder is hand-cut to ensure it fits the leather perfectly and keeps its natural character intact.
You’ll notice marks and variations in the leather—that’s not a flaw, it’s proof it’s the real deal: each leather card holder wallet has its own personality.
Sustainability Practices
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.
How to Care for Your Leather Card Holder Wallet
Maintaining Your Leather Card Holder Wallet
Keep your leather card holder wallet in excellent condition with these simple steps:

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.
