How to Choose
Material Matters: Leather Excellence
Not all leathers are equal – and some are downright cheap and flimsy. The highest grade is full-grain leather. It is the thickest and longest lasting – and gets more beautiful with age and use, which is a great attribute. It is by far the best choice.
Second place goes to top-grain leather, which is less durable but thinner, lighter, and usually cheaper. Avoid “genuine leather” and bonded leather at all costs – they are not worth even the smaller price tags.
Functionality and Form
A slim wallet is great for the minimalist who doesn’t need or want to carry much with them. For those with multiple IDs, credit and bank cards, club cards, cash, and the kitchen sink in their wallets, a trifold with lots of space is a better bet.
Design Aesthetics: Beyond Basics
The design should cover the functional aspects of the wallet, but the final result should also be a thing of beauty. A wallet in a functional piece of art.
Think of it like a little gallery piece that you keep in your pocket and display or view yourself, several times a day. That’s a nice addition to anyone’s life.

Von Baer was founded because I wanted a unique and high-quality laptop bag for myself, without paying for an unreasonably overpriced designer brand. I've spent over 500 hours testing 1,000s of leather products over to help you get a better product.
I'm proud of the luxurious leather goods we've created since 2014, and I'm sure you'll love them too. Read more about our story here.
We strive for the highest editorial standards, and to only publish accurate information on our website.
How Is Von Baer Leather Different?
Not all leather is the same.
Since 2015, we at Von Baer have dedicated ourselves to high-quality real leather.
Here's a 30-second summary of how to choose a better leather product:
- Leather comes in different grades: full-grain, top-grain, and split/bonded - which represent how much of the original product is used (less product used = cheaper).
- Full-grain is the best grade of leather you can buy: exceptionally durable, developing an elegant patina, and having that beautiful real leather smell.
- Cheaper grades are less durable, age poorly, and don't have that authentic scent.
- Leather is processed through "tanning", which makes it durable and water-resistant.
- The two main methods for this are "vegetable-tanning" and "chrome-tanning".
- Chrome tanning uses harsh chemicals that are bad for the environment and produce a worse quality leather.
- Vegetable tanning is the best method, being more eco-friendly, and producing leather with a better patina and scent.
That's why here at Von Baer, we only use full-grain vegetable-tanned Italian leather, sourced from the finest tanneries across Tuscany, Italy.
It ages beautifully over time, developing a unique patina, making it more durable and luxurious than lower-quality leather.
It's also why we developed the leather standards trademark Cuoio Superiore (meaning "superior leather" in Italian).
