Cowhide, full grain or Crazy Horse
Cowhide is the most common wallet leather: supple and dense, it takes the rubbing of a trouser pocket. Full grain keeps the surface of the hide with its marks. Crazy Horse is a cowhide fed with oils and waxes, which lightens where it folds.
Bifold, trifold, vertical or long
The bifold stays the flattest format, the trifold adds a column of cards, the vertical format shows the cards in front of you, and the long format keeps notes unfolded for a jacket pocket. A passport wallet in cowhide replaces the plastic sleeve at the airport. Compact formats are also in the small wallet for men range, and contactless blocking models in the men's RFID wallet range.
Frequently asked questions
How do I recognise a real leather wallet?
By the edge, fibrous on leather and smooth on a coated material, and by the grain, which varies from one area to another.
How do I care for a leather wallet?
A dry cloth for dust, a colourless cream once or twice a year, and never dry it next to a radiator.
Real leather or PU leather?
Real leather patinates and changes over the years; PU leather keeps its original look and wipes clean. Two different choices, each with its uses.
