Saddle Brown Dumont Leather Passport Holder
For the gentleman who values both preparation and presentation, a Fort Belvedere passport carrier is an essential addition to his travel kit. Its classic design and thoughtful functionality ensure a seamless travel experience, from check-in to touchdown.
The ability to keep everything—passport, boarding passes, luggage receipts, currency, and cards—in one place is invaluable when you need to access your documents frequently.
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.
Stunning Tipped Grain Texture
Our Dumont leather features a unique tipped grain effect, which creates the appearance of a heavily textured pebbled leather but with a soft, smooth feel.
Unlike other leathers, in which this effect is achieved through machine embossing, our tipped grain effect is achieved naturally through milling during the tanning process. With no full topcoat covering, you are able to experience the leather itself directly with every touch.
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 wallet will evolve into a personal masterpiece, a testament to the many journeys and years of travel you’ve shared with it.
Rich Saddle Brown Dye
This passport holder boasts a luxurious saddle brown hue, achieved through our meticulous aniline-dyeing technique. The leather fully soaks up the dye in an extensive process spanning more than 12 hours, guaranteeing that the color stays vibrant and resists fading over time.
As the carrier matures, the dye will enhance the leather's natural patina. Its earthy brown hue makes this color selection exceptionally adaptable for the personal style of any globetrotter, be it laid-back or upscale.
Radiant Depth of Color
Our unique dyeing technique, along with the proprietary waxes and oils we use on this leather, gives this leather 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.
