Handcrafted in California from vegetable-tanned full-grain leather in a classic, timeless black, this slim envelope wallet develops a richer patina with every use. 4½" × 3" (115mm × 80mm), with RFID-blocking protection and a hidden snap closure.
The leather is naturally tanned using tree bark and chestnut extracts rather than synthetic chemicals — it darkens and deepens with handling and exposure, which is expected, not a defect. Brown suede lining, holds 20+ business cards or 12 credit cards plus cash folded in half. The hidden snap keeps the envelope closed without visible hardware. Designed and handcrafted in California, each piece is one of a kind.
FAQs:
Q: What does "vegetable tanned" mean, and how is it different from regular leather?
A: Vegetable tanning uses natural tannins from tree bark and chestnut extracts instead of synthetic chemicals, and the leather develops a deeper patina with age and use.
Q: How much can this actually hold, cards and cash together?
A: It holds 20+ business cards, or 12 credit cards plus cash folded in half.
Q: Will the color change over time, and is that a flaw?
A: Yes, the natural tanning process means the leather darkens and develops a richer patina with handling and exposure; this is expected, not a defect.
Q: Is the snap closure visible from the outside?
A: No, the snap closure is hidden, so the exterior stays clean without visible hardware.
Q: Does the RFID protection actually block scanning, or is that just marketing language?
A: RFID-blocking protection is built into the wallet to prevent unauthorized wireless scanning of embedded chip data in cards.
