Description:
This billfold Florentine wallet for men in leather is handmade in Florence, respecting the artisanal techniques of the ancient Tuscan leather craftsmen. The genuine cowhide leather is loved all over the world because of its robustness and water resistance, so much that it is also used for shoe soles and luggage products. This Italian leather slim wallet inside has a single large compartment for banknotes of any size (such as euros and dollars) and two multipurpose pockets. Although its small size thought to bring it more comfortably in your trouser pockets, this wallet has six slots for credit cards. In the lower part of the wallet a certification of genuine leather and Made in Italy production is marked on. This wallet is dedicated to Dante Alighieri, the greatest poet which wrote the Divine Comedy.

Leather:
The genuine Florentine leather is loved all over the world thanks to its strength. This leather undergoes a vegetable tanning process that makes it softer and easily workable, mainly using natural products. This allows the leather to change its color over time, depending on the exposure to the sunlight and the use the wearer makes of it, as if it could arrange its look every year. All the leathers we use come from the food industry, so as no animal is directly slaughtered for our wallets.

Painting process:
One of the most important part of the production is the leather painting, that we made through a vegetable tanning process done by hand. This is the best treatment we know to highlight the natural characteristics of the Florentine cowhide leather and we learned it from our fathers. The vegetable tanning let the leather became a little softer over time.

Sign of times:
The wallet is an everyday object, which usually is stored in a trouser or jacket pocket. This raises the possibility to damage it with ugly light scratches. For that reason we use only genuine leather that is vegetable tanned by hand, which let the color be absorbed in its depth, allowing you to try to remove the light superficial scratches that appear over time. In fact, when there are more layers of color, as in the vegetable tanned wallet, if you accidentally damage a first surface part of it, you can try to restore it using a simple cloth and a neutral cream.
