LEATHER WALLETS CRAFTED TO LAST.

Your wallet matters. It’s the only item that is with you every day — from the day you have your first date to the day you see your child off to college.

When something is with you through thick and thin, it’s important to invest in quality and durability. You want your wallet to showcase your personal style, showing that you’re the sort of professional who cares about the things that matter.

Popov Leather has you covered.

We specialize in crafting heritage-quality wallets that are with you for every milestone in your life. Drop your wallet on the ground, step on it, or even run it over with a car, and your wallet will develop a rich patina -not fall apart.

Each of our wallets is handcrafted using USA full grain leather and durable tiger thread. The edges are burnished and polished, showing attention to detail.

In fact, we’re so confident about the durability of our wallets that we offer 90-day returns if you’re not satisfied, as well as a lifetime guarantee on our craftsmanship.

LEATHER BIFOLD WALLETS

Handsome leather is hand-sewn with tiger thread in these leather bifold wallets. Six card slots are each equipped to house up to two cards, so you never run out of room.

This heritage-quality wallet is as durable as they come. Scott J. from the US explained, “This is by far the best wallet I’ve ever owned and I’ve been around since 1966. It’s literally as durable as a quality baseball glove, but much softer.”

And as for the leather smell? One reviewer described it as “intoxicating.”

Trifold wallets have a thicker design for folks who like a sturdy, hefty wallet feel.

Four card slots and a window ID slot offer space for at least nine cards without stretching your leather too much. The ID slot flips open for easy access and tucks away when it’s not needed for added convenience.

LEATHER MONEY CLIP WALLET

A money clip wallet should do two things: hold your cash securely and organize your cards. We built ours with that simple goal, using full-grain leather- it's the best leather you can get and only improves with age. The brass spring clip keeps your bills in place without a struggle, while four card slots hold everything from your ID to your credit cards within easy reach. Each wallet is hand-stitched in our workshop and backed by a lifetime guarantee because that's how things should be made.

Each one is hand-stitched right here in our workshop and backed by a lifetime guarantee, because we believe a good wallet should be the last one you need to buy.

Leather Wallet FAQs

Where are your wallets made?

We handcraft everything right here in Nelson BC Canada.

Like a baseball mitt, these wallets will get better through age and use.

We make our leather wallets with full-grain leather that develops character and patina. Your daily adventures will write a story and reflect how you carry the wallet. Our wallets a rugged, durable, and built for a lifetime of abuse. In fact, we guarantee it.

We hand-sew each wallet to ensure they will never unravel or come apart. All our goods come backed with a lifetime warranty and a 90-day return policy. Take comfort in knowing that these wallets are heirloom quality.

How do you clean leather wallets?

We recommend cleaning your wallet with a leather-safe cleanser (such as our scrub). Followed by applying a leather balm.

It's a good idea to do this every six months or sooner if you plan on exposing our goods to the elements (ie. you like to hike with our book covers).

For the most part, we encourage our customers to leave their wallets as-is. The best part about having full-grain leather is the patina journey that develops.

What happens if my leather wallet goes through the washing machine?

When a leather wallet lands in the washing machine by mistake, it won't get ruined. But a lot of the oils and tallows that the leather with will wash out.

Think of our leather wallets like your hand. If you wash your hands for 15-30 minutes straight, you're going to need to condition them.. otherwise, they'll dry out. Just like that wallet, you left in your jeans. So let you wallet dry out first, then apply some leather conditioner to it.

Work it in and let the oils do their thing. Your wallet will return to normal after a couple of days of use.

How long does it take to break my wallet in?

The least satisfying and easiest answer is: it depends.

Do you remember tying Baseball mitts together or sitting on them to break in the leather? Well you can do that with our wallets or you can use our products like a normal person. With every day use, you can expect your leather to relax after a couple weeks.

We have tight pockets on all our wallets because leather only stretches one way. Leather seems too thick? Again, give it time, that too will come down through use and patina.

Can you personalize these leather wallets?

Celebrating a special occasion? You can personalize your wallet with laser-engraved initials, names, or dates. We use a crisp, easy-to-read font that will never fade, even as your leather wallet patinas over time.

Which leather wallet should I buy?

There are many things that go into choosing your best leather wallet, from how much you need to carry with you to your sense of style.

Choosing the best wallet for men looks a little different from choosing the best wallet for women.

In both cases, you need to consider durability and style. However, women’s clothing often makes longer wallets more practical, since they can be thrown into purses. Men may prefer slim, front-pocket wallets or traditional bifold or trifold wallets.

Our pocket profile quiz can help you learn more about your personal style.

Do leather wallets last longer than regular wallets?

Not all leather wallets are built to last. If you purchase a “genuine leather” wallet, made from bottom-of-the-barrel, hotdog-quality bonded leather, you’re likely to get what you paid for.

But when you invest in heritage-quality, handcrafted leather products, it can truly last a lifetime.

One of our reviewers explains high-quality leather wallets the best:

“I have a leather wallet with my initials branded into the leather. My parents gave it to me when I graduated High School and I have had it ever since (that’s 63 years ago), I am still using it and it is still as good as new, except for a bit of wear which adds to the character of the wallet.

I bought the Traditional English Tan Wallet from Popov Leather for my grandson, because I know good leather will last a lifetime like they advertise and like I know from my own experience with good leather. I had it engraved with his name, initials and date. Years to come, when we are no longer here, he will be able to say, my Nan & Pop gave me this wallet in 2022.”

Do your wallets have RFID protection?

Our leather wallets do not have RFID protection built in. However, we sell wallet gauntlets, which provide RFID protection and can easily be transferred between wallets.
