Share article
It is hard not to notice the unique feel of a crocodile leather wallet. Its texture, weight, and unique way of catching light because of its natural scales make it not only a useful accessory but a piece of art as well. That's why for years at Summit and Selva we have been striving to create unique, hand-crafted crocodile leather wallets made to last many decades and get better with each passing year.
Here is everything you should know about them if it's your first crocodile wallet or you want to learn more about them.
What Sets Crocodile Leather Apart?
Crocodile leather has qualities not found anywhere else. The inherent pattern of scales is entirely unique to each piece of leather, making each wallet different from the next. It's not something that has been stamped into the leather but rather the true raised scales you get when using genuine exotic leather.
On top of its distinct appearance, crocodile leather is highly durable. With the dense fiber structure, it's less prone to wear and tear than normal leather, allowing your crocodile wallet to last longer than multiple "ordinary" wallets put together.
Why Opt for a Crocodile Leather Wallet as Opposed to Regular Leather?
A reasonable question – why pay extra for the former when latter is ubiquitous? This is how it stands out:
Exclusivity – Exotic leather items are much less common than regular leather items. While the latter are made in large numbers, the former are made in relatively small quantities.
Durability – As opposed to regular leather, crocodile leather can last longer and gain its unique patina with age rather than just wearing out.
Quality of Workmanship – Crafting with exotic leather demands more effort since it involves cutting leather into panels and matching it according to the scale pattern.
Status and Style – The use of crocodile leather is an indicator of high status and impeccable taste.
Choosing the Right Crocodile Wallet for You:
All crocodile wallets have different construction and selecting one depends on the actual usage that you give to it.
Single Panel Wallet is the slimmest wallet which suits best for carrying a few cards and if you like minimalistic design.
Dual Panel Wallet combines all qualities: enough space for cards, cash, and something extra, without extra thickness.
Triple Panel Wallets are designed for those who require a lot of space: several card pockets, cash compartment, coin pocket and window for ID.
Also, it is important to select finish: matte vintage brown gives you a rough and practical look, while gloss black or gloss champagne gives a more formal look that fits best for wearing a suit or an exquisite watch.
Worth Investing in a Crocodile Wallet?
If you are an individual that believes in quality over quantity, and you prefer to spend once in life on something special instead of buying wallets once or twice a year, then yes. Your Crocodile wallet will be much more than just a place to put your cards and money – it will be a small item reminding you of elegance and quality.
Summit and Selva crocodile wallets are made from a high-quality material by professional craftsmen, no matter what type of wallet you choose – whether a simple one with a single panel, or a more elaborate three-panel wallet.
