Can leather wallets get wet?
Leather wallets can get wet, but it's best to avoid prolonged exposure to water. If wet, dry it slowly at room temperature.
What is the difference between full-grain leather and top-grain leather wallets?
Full-grain leather is the highest quality leather, known for its durability and natural look, as it retains the grain layer. Top-grain leather, while still high quality, has been sanded and buffed to remove imperfections, giving it a more uniform appearance but slightly less durability than full-grain leather.
What is the difference between a bifold leather wallet and a slim leather wallet?
A bifold leather wallet typically has two sections that fold together, offering more space for cards, cash, and other items, but it can be bulkier. A slim leather wallet is designed to be minimalist, holding fewer items to maintain a sleek and compact profile, making it more comfortable for everyday carry.
