Exterior Leather

Top-Grain Calfskin

Long valued in premium men’s leather goods, top-grain calfskin is selected for its fine, even grain, supple hand and refined low-sheen finish. Its dense surface gives the wallet a smooth tactile quality while helping preserve its clean, structured shape through daily carry. With use, the leather develops a natural patina, deepening in tone and becoming more distinctive over time.

Interior Leather

Contrast Cowhide

The upper interior is lined in smooth cowhide leather, selected for its refined hand, clean finish and dense fibre structure. Its added resistance to repeated friction helps preserve the surface and shape of the interior through daily card and cash handling. Available in Forest Green, Deep Blue or Charcoal, the accent introduces a measured depth of color each time the wallet is opened.

Protective Lining

Black Nylon Lining

Black nylon lines the card and cash compartments, the areas exposed to the most repeated movement. Selected for durability through daily handling, it protects these high-use surfaces while maintaining a clean, uniform finish. Its discreet placement preserves the visual continuity of the leather interior.

Metal Signature

The Graphite
Shard

Set flush into the black calfskin, the graphite-shard emblem is formed from polished metal alloy with an angular, architectural profile. Its mirror-finished surface catches direct light with a sharp reflection, then settles into a deeper graphite tone as the angle changes. This creates a restrained signature detail with a distinct presence at close range.

Material Summary

The Original, In Material

Care & Preservation

To preserve the natural character and refined finish of the leather, wipe gently with a soft, dry or lightly damp cloth. Avoid solvents, alcohol and abrasive materials.

When not in use, keep the wallet in a cool, dry place away from direct heat and prolonged sunlight. No conditioning is required during the first 12 months.
