Returnable within 30 days

The Elder is built on the same idea as The Keeper — a snap-close coin pocket, the same full-grain men's leather — just turned on its side. Where most of our bifolds open left to right, this one opens top to bottom, in a taller, narrower shape some people just prefer.

Why It's Built to Last

Full-grain leather develops a deeper patina with handling instead of cracking
The taller panel is cut from one piece, not seamed together to fake the shape
Handmade construction, checked piece by piece before it ships
Reinforced stitching at the fold line, where a vertical wallet flexes the most

Care Instructions

Wipe down with a dry cloth every so often, working around the snap where dust tends to collect.
Condition every few months with a small amount of natural leather balm, then buff off the excess.
If it gets wet, let it air-dry away from direct heat.
Some darkening and softening with use is normal — that's the leather breaking in.
