Expensive Leather Wallets

Benefits

Luxury

When you begin using a more expensive type of wallet, you will notice its sheer luxury. It is beautiful to the eye and the touch, with rich hues, deep textures, and an overall quality feel. 

Handling it, seeing it, and having others see it as you use it will boost your mood and confidence. That boost can also be contagious, elevating the scene, in a small way, each time you use your wallet.

Longevity

The quality also means that your wallet will last a long time. While cheaper versions are failing, risking contents to loss or damage and forcing their owners to repeat the process and cost of purchasing them several times over, your wallet will still look great, functioning perfectly, and giving you more and more value.

Extended over the lifetime of your wallet, that higher initial price becomes a better and better per-year cost. There is a lot of value in longevity like that.

Style Statement

The right wallet will not only complement your style but also elevate it. Your taste and professional status will be displayed every time you take it out to pay for lunch, parking, or show ID.

The quality and sophistication will reflect well on you, and those who see it will unconsciously apply those qualities to their assumption of who you are. 

That’s a great impression to make, as it allows you to prove your worth from a starting position of positivity and greater trust. Your business accessories should be high enough quality to create this effect. A wallet is a good place to begin.

Functionality Meets Form

The design of these wallets aims to keep the items inside secure and in great condition while still providing quick and easy access when needed.

Security as a Priority

High-tech theft is rising, so quality wallets have responded with increased high-tech security. Features like RFID-blocking technology, Bluetooth tracking, GPS markers, and other features block thieves without you ever knowing you were targeted. Your finances and your identity will be safe.

All Von Baer wallets have RFID-protection built into them.

Resale Value

Many people forget to factor in the potential resale value into the overall cost of their wallet. If you buy a more luxurious wallet and care for it properly, you can expect to recoup a considerable portion of the original cost.

You can put the money you get toward your next wallet! Certain renowned brand names retain their value so well that some items become sought after by collectors and can even fetch more money as used items than they cost when they were new.

Limited edition items also demand better resale prices.

Your Investment, Your Choice

Your quality wallet is about value for money, pleasure in use, status, customer care, reliability, security, and style. You needn’t compromise when you pay a premium price – you’ll get a premium product.

How to Choose

Choosing the perfect wallet can be overwhelming – there are many thousands of options out there! But don’t worry- with a systematic approach, you can zero in on the best design and features for you and enjoy the process while you’re doing it.

Know what your Needs Are

The first step is to know your own needs. How many card slots do you need? Do you carry cash? Is it all American money, or do you also carry foreign currency (this is often larger and needs a broader wallet design)?

What security technology do you want in your wallet? Once you know all of this, you can look at the options.

Understanding Value in Luxury Wallets

Knowing and understanding the features and factors of making a high-quality wallet is important. Consider the quality of the materials used. They should be of premium quality and properly processed.

Full-grain leather is the best and will last the longest, and that's why we use it in all Von Baer products. We also make sure it's vegetable-tanned, to ensure it develops a beautiful patina with age.

Craftsmanship: The Art Behind the Wallet

Hand stitching, precise edges, and hundreds of other little marks of superior craftsmanship make a wallet a work of art and a tool.

The attention to detail ensures that all wallet parts are properly formed, fastened, and finished.

Design and Functionality: Balancing Elegance and Practicality

Part of what makes a wallet a luxury item is the balance between function and form. The wallet needs to do its job and do it very well – but it also needs to be beautiful.

A good design will combine these two goals wherever possible, using a sleek profile to improve the wallet's look and how it sits in your pocket.

Types

There are four main types of wallets to choose from. Once you know which is for you, you can look at specific designs within that type of group without being distracted by sifting through designs that don’t suit your needs.

Bifold 

By far the most common and popular configuration, the bifold wallet has a single fold in the idle, creating two flaps for card slots or other features. There is also usually a cash pocket running the length of it for bills.

These are usually thin wallets that can hold three to eight card slots and some cash without overload.

Trifold 

If you need more space than the bifold can accommodate, the trifold adds a second fold, resulting in three sections for card slots or other features.

The trifold wallet is a bit thicker, of course, but still a manageable size, most often accommodating nine to twelve cards plus bills.

Money Clip 

If you want to go really thin and mostly use cash, a money clip can hold bills and a few cards while maintaining a very thin and sleek profile.

They are the lightest and smallest wallet design options for the minimalist. 

Travel Wallets

Travel wallets go the other way about size, but this is for a good, practical reason.

Made to hold your passport, cards, and cash from various countries (all with varying sizes), the travel wallet keeps everything you need safe, secure, and easy to track and access. 

Things can often be a bit chaotic when you’re in the midst of a trip; it can be nice to know that your money and documents are well under control.
