How to Choose the Right Leather Wallet?

At JPGoods, you'll find carefully handcrafted leather wallets made in Finland from premium Italian vegetable-tanned leather. Our collection includes bifold wallets, card holders, minimalist wallets, snap wallets and slim everyday carry designs — all created to age beautifully and last for years.

When choosing a leather wallet, the most important thing is finding a model that fits your lifestyle.
Do you mainly carry cards, cash, or both? Do you prefer an ultra-slim wallet or a more traditional folded design? JPGoods offers a wallet for every need — all made with uncompromising attention to detail.

Every JPGoods wallet is handmade in Finland.

Premium Italian Vegetable-Tanned Leather

All JPGoods wallets are crafted from high-quality Italian vegetable-tanned leather. We primarily use Pueblo leather from the legendary Badalassi Carlo tannery, known for its rich texture, deep colors and natural, slightly rugged surface.

Pueblo leather is:

  • durable and long-lasting

  • naturally breathable

  • beautiful to touch

  • designed to develop a stunning patina

Vegetable tanning uses natural plant extracts instead of harsh chemicals. This gives the leather its warm, organic scent and a firm structure that improves over time.

Did you know?
Vegetable tanning takes up to one month, while chrome tanning takes only a day. That's why chrome-tanned leather is cheaper — but also less durable and less expressive. Vegetable-tanned leather is more premium, sustainable, and made to age gracefully.

Patina – Your Wallet Tells Your Story

One of the most beautiful features of vegetable-tanned leather is patina. Over time, your wallet will darken, smooth out, and gain a natural shine — making it truly one of a kind.

Patina develops through:

  • Skin contact — natural oils from your hands nourish the leather

  • Pressure and friction — in your pocket, from cards and cash

  • Sunlight — deepens and enriches the color

Badalassi Carlo Pueblo leather is especially loved for how fast and beautifully it develops patina, turning every wallet into a personal piece that reflects your daily life.
