A slim vegetable-tanned full-grain leather envelope wallet in warm natural tan, 4½" x 3" (115mm x 80mm), with RFID-blocking protection and a hidden snap closure. Handcrafted in California from leather naturally tanned using tree bark and chestnut extracts rather than synthetic chemicals.
The leather deepens and develops a richer patina with handling and exposure over time, which is expected, not a defect. Brown suede lining, holds 20+ business cards or 12 credit cards plus cash folded in half. Each piece is one of a kind.
Why Casupo:
Each wallet is handcrafted in small batches in Los Angeles from leather vegetable-tanned using natural tannins from tree bark and chestnut extracts, not synthetic chemicals. Packaging uses minimal plastic. Designed and made in California, USA. Because every hide is different, no two wallets are identical.
Care Instructions:
Condition with a natural leather balm every 3 to 6 months. If the wallet gets wet, allow it to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and water. Avoid chemical cleaners. The leather will darken and develop a patina with use, which is a natural characteristic of vegetable-tanned leather, not a defect.
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.
