Boardroom Taupe Togo Leather Cardholder
Although we live in a highly digitized world, a wallet is still an essential everyday item and the easiest way to carry cash and cards. And on those occasions when you don’t want to carry a full-sized bifold or coat wallet, or if you are a minimalist who prefers to travel as lightly as possible, you don’t need to sacrifice the convenience of your wallet. Fort Belvedere is proud to offer this elegant slim wallet card carrier for those moments when you only want the essentials.
First Quality Leather
The uncorrected full-grain leather used in this card carrier comes exclusively from calves allowed to graze only in the lofty pastures of the Alps.
Why does that matter?
In the colder conditions of the Alps, there are fewer insects; fewer insects mean fewer insect bites, which mar the leather and create blemishes. Furthermore, because calves are smaller than cows and bulls, their hides cost more, but the unique qualities of calfskin, especially its durability while remaining soft, make it worth it.
Artisanal Italian Tannery
These hides were tanned and prepared by a heritage German tannery that has been in operation for centuries. This prestigious tannery is dedicated to producing only the finest open-pored leathers in the noble tradition of German craftsmanship, and as such it also offers leathers to many high-end and luxury fashion houses, in addition to supplying leathers to Fort Belvedere.
All-Natural Shrunken Calf Pebbled Surface
The pebbled surfaces on most leather goods are artificially embossed which creates a uniform look. That is certainly not the case here: the pebbled or grain effect of our Togo leather is achieved by naturally shrinking the leather. As a result, the surface is drawn closer together, emphasizing the grain and making it deeper and more visible.
Dry Hand & Scratch Resistance
Unlike our other bullhide leathers, this calf leather was designed with scratch-resistant properties.This leather also has a dry hand and improved water resistance, although without being waterproof. True open-pore semi-aniline leather will always be water permeable.
Stately Boardroom Taupe Dye
This card carrier has been dyed a stately boardroom taupe. Thanks to our semi-aniline-dyeing process, the dye has been fully absorbed into the leather, ensuring a long-lasting color that won’t fade. This refined color is extremely versatile and can be worn with casual or formal ensembles.
Elegant Contrast Stitching
Our cream thread provides a subtle pop of color against the boardroom taupe of this card carrier. Not only does this create visual interest, it highlights the piece’s incredible workmanship: every neat and fine back-and-forth stitch is on full display. The workmanship is even more impressive when you realize that the artisans can only see one side when they stitch those wallets, so it requires extra care and skill to sew these together.
