The ID flap sits in the middle rather than the side, so the wallet opens flat and your licence faces you straight on. A small difference that matters if you use it every day.

• Centre-hinged ID flap with a clear window (fixed, not removable)
• Card slots on both interior panels, with a second layer behind
• Full-length bill compartment
• RFID blocking built into the lining

Sourced by hand from the tanneries and workshops we have bought from since 1991 — Italy, India, Turkey, Mexico and beyond. Sold at our counter in Wellington, and now here.

New leather is firm. This wallet will feel tight for the first week or two — the fold is stiff and the card slots grip. That is what 100% cowhide does before it has been carried. It loosens with use and takes the shape of how you carry it. A wallet that arrives soft was never going to last.
