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.
Incredible Velveteen-Like Leather Hand
Our Americana leather has been finished to offer a supple tactile experience not unlike the effect of velveteen. With age, the leather will gain a warm shine and become somewhat darker and richer. With no 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.
Splendid Vintage Gold Dye
Your passport carrier has been dyed a stunning vintage gold. Thanks to our aniline-dyeing process, the dye has been fully absorbed into the leather in a procedure that can take over 12 hours, ensuring a long-lasting color that won’t fade and will bring out the patina of the leather as the carrier ages. Sunny and warm, this color, combined with the feel of the leather, has a rugged appearance that marks you out as a traveler ready for adventure.
Radiant Depth of Color
Our unique dyeing technique, along with the proprietary waxes and oils we use on this leather, gives the vintage gold Americana 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.
