The range.
Built to last.
Full-grain leather is the top cut of the hide — the part most often shaved off to make cheaper wallets feel softer out of the box. We keep it on. That layer is what gives the wallet its strength, and what lets it develop a patina instead of cracking.
Pocket geometry.
Three carry shapes. The horizontal bifold for the back pocket. The vertical bifold for the chest or jacket inside pocket. The zip-around for everyday security.
The house of Gabriel Mantelli.
Three carry options, one construction. Full-grain leather, kept honest. Bartack stitching, brass hardware, warm tan interior across the line. Read on for the brand story and what each piece is built for.
FAQ
Common questions.
What kind of leather do you use?
Full-grain leather across the entire range — the top cut of the hide with the natural surface intact. That layer is what gives the wallet its strength and lets it develop a patina instead of cracking the way coated splits do after a year.
How does the leather age?
The high-touch zones lighten first — corners, the fold spine, the lip you pull open with your thumb. The body holds its base colour. Patina is most pronounced on cognac and lighter tones; black and oxblood deepen more subtly.
Will the wallet stretch with use?
Slightly, over the first 5–10 days. It settles into the shape of what you carry. Don't overstuff the card slots in the first week and it relaxes cleanly.
Is there RFID-blocking protection?
No — we chose not to add it. RFID linings add bulk and reduce the leather's natural feel. If you want RFID protection, a single RFID-blocking card slipped into a slot does the same job at half the thickness.
What's your return policy?
60 days from delivery. Items must be unused and in original packaging. Customer pays return shipping unless the order was faulty, damaged, or sent in error — in which case we cover it. Full detail on the Returns & Refunds page.
