Italian Ingenuity.

I stumbled upon this in a small leather shop in Florence, off the Ponte Vecchio, in a sliver of a building that almost wasn't there.

The designer of this wallet (quite possibly a woman) clearly knows what a woman needs in a wallet.

Unsnap the front flap, and you have big compartments for change and other necessaria, including three clever ones that expand accordion-style.

Eight slots for credit cards and the like. Each half of the wallet has a single snug interior pocket (good for letters from secret admirers). A huge pocket that runs the whole width can handle passports, street maps, etc.

Italian Woman's Wallet (No. 3315),
in rich brown or black Italian calfskin with a convincing crocodile finish that evokes the 1940s. Leather lining. Silver finished brass hardware.

Definitely not for men.

Dimensions: approx. 8-1/2" x 7-1/4" open, 4-1/4" x 7-1/4" closed.

Colors: Brown, Black.

Italy.
