Treat yourself or a loved one with this stylish and card holder. Made from a choice of Black/Brown Waxy Goatskin, (a hardy, charismatic leather, with a lovely ‘Pull-up’ appearance) or try Tan colour Cowhide or Cowhide hand dyed in-house in our signature colours Penrhyn or Ardleigh.

 

‘Penrhyn’ is inspired by Red Chestnut coloured horses.

 

‘Ardleigh’ is inspired by Liver Chestnut coloured horses.

 

Pull-up Goatskin: If leather is described as ‘Pull-up’, it means that as it is bent and flexed, the colour lightens in these places. Over time this will give the surface grain of the leather a more varied appearance and add to its individual and rugged look. The waxy appearance adds to its durability and will give a smart yet casual feel to your Card Holder.

 

 

This card is designed for when you only want to carry a couple of cards, perhaps in a small pouch/zippered pocket when running/doing other forms of exercise. Or perhaps when going for a night out, when taking all your cards with you is unnecessary and undesirable.

 

Dimensions:

 

Holds approximately 2 cards.

62mm x 104mm x 4/5mm

 

Leather is a natural product and small variations in appearance across a hide do occur, especially in this type of leather. This should in no way impact on the durability of the leather, and therefore the cardholder.

HAND-STITCHED

 

Hand-stitched in the traditions of English Saddlery, using what is often referred to as double-handed or Saddle-Stitching. This traditional Saddlery style method of stitching has greater integrity than machine stitching.

 

No sewing machines are involved in this process, all stitching is done entirely by hand.

 

Choose which colour your cardholder is stitched in from a myriad of jewel-like tones.

 

OR

 

Follow the traditions of Saddlery, and match your stitching to your leather colour.

 

We suggest HOT CHOCOLATE coloured thread to match BROWN WAXY GOATSKIN OR ‘PENRHYN’ COLOURED COWHIDE

 

OR

 

We suggest NOIR coloured thread to match BLACK WAXY GOATSKIN

 

OR

 

We suggest HOT CHOCOLATE coloured thread to match ‘ARDLEIGH’ COLOURED COWHIDE

 

OR

 

We suggest ROSE TAUPE coloured thread if you are looking for a neutral contrasting thread for all these leathers.

 

PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL OUR THREADS ARE LINEN.

NONE OF OUR THREADS ARE METALLIC OR POLYESTER.

 

HAND-CUT

 

This item is cut out by hand using a traditional Saddler’s Knife and other Saddlery tools.

 

HAND-BURNISHED

 

As this is veg-tanned leather, the edges of this Card Holder are polished to a high shine by hand. We do not need to coat the raw edges in plastic as is necessary with Chrome Tanned leather.

 

HAND-EMBOSSED

 

This Card Holder comes hand-stamped with our distinctive egallowayleather logo.

 

CONSTRUCTION DETAIL

 

Corners are nicked to prevent unsightly folding and bending and edges are bevelled to remove sharp edges created when cutting the item out by hand. A Saddler works in the same way to ensure equine comfort and therefore the safety of horse and rider. Following this ethos creates an item, which is not only comfortable to use but a joy to handle.

 

MADE IN ENGLAND

 

This Card Holder is entirely made in a small workshop in Walthamstow, London, in the United Kingdom.

 

PACKAGING

 

Packaged in a cardboard gift box.

 

Posted out to you in a paper-filled, padded postal bag.

 

CLEANING

 

Please exercise extreme caution if cleaning the inside of your Card Holder and take care to protect the inside and untreated part of your Card Holder with a piece of card or plastic.

We suggest cleaning with a soft lint free cloth and Fiebings 4 Way or Dubbin to maintain the appearance and water resistant nature of this Card Holder. Please do not use shoe polish, as even clear shoe polish can permanently darken the leather.

 

If you feel unsure about doing this yourself, or any of the above information please contact us by email/phone. We will be happy to advise you and answer other queries you may have.
