Top Quality Italian Full-Grain Leather

Fort Belvedere sources the leathers for all our products from the same artisanal mills, and each leather type is specifically chosen to excel in functionality for its chosen product.

Harvested from English Bulls

To ensure the finest hides possible, the leather for this passport holder comes exclusively from English bulls. Hides from cows can become stretched or marred after giving birth; bull hides have no such defects and offer a higher yield of the exceptional-quality hides we demand, which require no artificial correction.

Heritage Italian Tannery

Hides of such quality require a comparable tannery, and we found one in Italy, home to some of the world’s greatest leather makers. In operation for over a century, this tannery produces only the finest open-pore leathers, and is furthermore dedicated to doing so sustainably, with fair labor practices and environmental protections at the forefront of its ethos.

Supple Tactical Experience

Our Montecristo leather is crafted to provide a robust yet flexible feel, with a subtle pored textured. From afar, the pores are evenly distributed, but a closer inspection reveals an intricate pattern that captivates the eye. This leather lacks any topcoat, allowing for a pure and direct tactile experience every time you touch it.

Patinas Beautifully with Age and Use

The leather of this passport holder has undergone a light waxing process. Consequently, any scratches and nicks will stand out until they are gently buffed away. Over time, as the oils and waxes naturally redistribute, these small imperfections will blend back into the base color, creating a distinctive tonal variation in the leather.

Thus, with each use and the passage of time, the passport holder will evolve into a personal masterpiece, a testament to the many journeys and years of travel you’ve shared with it.

Radiant Depth of Color

Our unique 12+ hours dyeing technique, along with the proprietary waxes and oils we use on this leather, gives this passport holder an exceptional depth and a distinctive "pull-up" quality. This means that when the leather is lightly stretched, it reveals the rich spectrum of hues and textures inherent in the material.

Elegant Contrast Stitching

The tight, neat stitching on this passport protector is one of our favorite elements and something that any connoisseur would immediately notice. Therefore, we decided to employ a petrol blue thread to emphasize this superlative work. You can also consider this contrast thread another hallmark of quality: because sewing is done near the end of the production cycle, any mistakes, which the bright thread makes immediately apparent, would require scrapping the accessory and starting over. Naturally, our craftsmen don’t want that, so they’re incentivized to provide only their best and neatest work.

The Finest Bovine Leather

Fort Belvedere proudly sources four unique varieties of treated leather, each with its own special qualities. These particular leathers are employed for most of our small leather goods, allowing you to easily match the leather accessories in your ensemble.

Americana, Dumont, and Montecristo Leather

Our Americana, Dumont, and Montecristo leathers were all tanned in Italy with hides exclusively taken from English bulls. Why bulls? Leather from cows that have calved can stretch and warp, altering the look. In contrast, bull leather is free from these imperfections, maintaining the pristine, authentic quality of the material without reliance on synthetic alterations.

These skins then underwent our tanning process at an Italian tannery steeped in heritage, boasting more than a hundred years of operation. This establishment is not only committed to crafting the highest quality open-pored leathers, following the esteemed Italian artisanal methods but also prioritizes sustainable sourcing, fair labor standards, and reducing its environmental footprint.

Togo Leather

The leather for our Togo line of wallets was sourced solely from young calves that graze in the elevated meadows of the Alpine region. Why is this significant? The Alpine climate is cooler, resulting in a reduced number of insects. A lower incidence of insects leads to fewer bites on the animals, which can otherwise damage the leather, causing imperfections. Additionally, while the hides of calves are more expensive than those of larger cows and bulls due to their size, the exceptional characteristics of calfskin—its resilience paired with softness—justify the cost.

These hides then underwent tanning and preparation at a historic German tannery with centuries of operation under its belt. This esteemed tannery is committed to crafting the most exquisite open-pored leathers, upholding the venerable legacy of German artisanry. In serving not only Fort Belvedere but also numerous elite and luxury fashion brands, it secures its reputation as a purveyor of premium leathers.

Care

To nourish the leather and keep it supple and appearing its most fine, we suggest that every couple years you apply an unpigmented shoe polish or cream to its surface. Buff the polish or cream as you would your shoes.

Cleaning

If water is spilled on this leather accessory, remove all items from it, blot away (don’t rub) any excess liquid, and allow it to air-dry fully.

Please note that artificially drying leather goods, like with a hairdryer or heat gun, will degrade the leather.

If this leather accessory should become stained, clean it following the instructions on the dedicated leather cleaner of your choice.

If the stain persists, take the accessory to a dry cleaner that specializes in cleaning luxury leather goods.
