Orange 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 bull hide 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.

Vibrant Orange Dye

This orange Togo leather card carrier has been dyed a vibrant orange. Thanks to our semi-aniline-dyeing process, the dye has been fully absorbed into the leather, ensuring a long-lasting uniform color that won’t fade. This fun color is especially suited to casual occasions or for people who like to be bold.

Elegant Contrast Stitching

Our cream thread provides a subtle pop of color against the mahogany brown 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.

Care

To nourish the leather and keep it supple and appearing its most fine, we suggest that every couple years you apply an unpigmented shoe polish or cream to its surface. Buff the polish or cream as you would your shoes.

Cleaning

If water is spilled on this leather accessory, remove all items from it, blot away (don’t rub) any excess liquid, and allow it to air-dry fully.

Please note that artificially drying leather goods, like with a hairdryer or heat gun, will degrade the leather.

If this leather accessory should become stained, clean it following the instructions on the dedicated leather cleaner of your choice.

If the stain persists, take the accessory to a dry cleaner that specializes in cleaning luxury leather goods.

The Finest Bovine Leather

Fort Belvedere proudly sources four unique varieties of treated leather, each with its own special qualities. These particular leathers are employed for most of our small leather goods, allowing you to easily match the leather accessories in your ensemble.

Americana, Dumont, and Montecristo Leather

Our Americana, Dumont, and Montecristo leathers were all tanned in Italy with hides exclusively taken from English bulls. Why bulls? Leather from cows that have calved can stretch and warp, altering the look. In contrast, bull leather is free from these imperfections, maintaining the pristine, authentic quality of the material without reliance on synthetic alterations.

These skins then underwent our tanning process at an Italian tannery steeped in heritage, boasting more than a hundred years of operation. This establishment is not only committed to crafting the highest quality open-pored leathers, following the esteemed Italian artisanal methods but also prioritizes sustainable sourcing, fair labor standards, and reducing its environmental footprint.

Togo Leather

The leather for our Togo line of wallets was sourced solely from young calves that graze in the elevated meadows of the Alpine region. Why is this significant? The Alpine climate is cooler, resulting in a reduced number of insects. A lower incidence of insects leads to fewer bites on the animals, which can otherwise damage the leather, causing imperfections. Additionally, while the hides of calves are more expensive than those of larger cows and bulls due to their size, the exceptional characteristics of calfskin—its resilience paired with softness—justify the cost.

These hides then underwent tanning and preparation at a historic German tannery with centuries of operation under its belt. This esteemed tannery is committed to crafting the most exquisite open-pored leathers, upholding the venerable legacy of German artisanry. In serving not only Fort Belvedere but also numerous elite and luxury fashion brands, it secures its reputation as a purveyor of premium leathers.
