How to Use This Travel Document Holder

The day before your flight, we recommend that you load this document organizer up with everything you’ll need to travel.

In the passport pouches you can put your passport, or passports, if you have multiple, or you could carry someone else’s passport.

Any cards, such as identification cards, credit cards, banks cards, membership cards, and the like that you may need go in the seven card slots, which can be double-stacked to hold 14 total cards.

The slipway behind the cardholder slots could also store a third passport.

Everything else, including printed tickets, luggage check-in receipt, schedules, foreign currency, and travel-related ephemera goes into the full-sized central pocket, featuring an all-leather lining.

Once you reach your destination, unload whatever you require for day-to-day use, such as credit cards and identification, and transfer it into a travel wallet; Fort Belvedere offers a cardholder and a conventional bifold wallet, both in matching leather to harmonize with your passport protector.

Items you won’t need every day, such as extra currency, airline tickets, and customs documentation, can be stored in a secure location so you always know where everything is.

Vintage Gold American Leather

Tired of fumbling through your bag for your passport and boarding pass? A Fort Belvedere passport carrier is your travel companion for seamless organization. Keep everything you need right at your fingertips, so you can focus on enjoying your trip.

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.

Complete Your Leather Goods Collection!

Fort Belvedere sources and employs only the finest quality leathers for all of our leather goods, from our pen cases up to our belts. This means that you can elegantly coordinate your ensembles with Fort Belvedere products all made from the same leather.

Care

To nourish the leather and keep it supple and appearing its most fine, we suggest that every couple years you apply an unpigmented shoe polish or cream to its surface. Buff the polish or cream as you would your shoes.

Cleaning

If water is spilled on this leather accessory, remove all items from it, blot away (don’t rub) any excess liquid, and allow it to air-dry fully.

Please note that artificially drying leather goods, like with a hairdryer or heat gun, will degrade the leather.

If this leather accessory should become stained, clean it following the instructions on the dedicated leather cleaner of your choice.

If the stain persists, take the accessory to a dry cleaner that specializes in cleaning luxury leather goods.

The Finest Bovine Leather

Fort Belvedere proudly sources four unique varieties of treated leather, each with its own special qualities. These particular leathers are employed for most of our small leather goods, allowing you to easily match the leather accessories in your ensemble.

Americana, Dumont, and Montecristo Leather

Our Americana, Dumont, and Montecristo leathers were all tanned in Italy with hides exclusively taken from English bulls. Why bulls? Leather from cows that have calved can stretch and warp, altering the look. In contrast, bull leather is free from these imperfections, maintaining the pristine, authentic quality of the material without reliance on synthetic alterations.

These skins then underwent our tanning process at an Italian tannery steeped in heritage, boasting more than a hundred years of operation. This establishment is not only committed to crafting the highest quality open-pored leathers, following the esteemed Italian artisanal methods but also prioritizes sustainable sourcing, fair labor standards, and reducing its environmental footprint.

Togo Leather

The leather for our Togo line of wallets was sourced solely from young cattle that graze in the elevated meadows of the Alpine region. Why is this significant? The Alpine climate is cooler, resulting in a reduced number of insects. A lower incidence of insects leads to fewer bites on the animals, which can otherwise damage the leather, causing imperfections. Additionally, while the hides of calves are more expensive than those of larger cows and bulls due to their size, the exceptional characteristics of calfskin—its resilience paired with softness—justify the cost.

These hides then underwent tanning and preparation at a historic German tannery with centuries of operation under its belt. This esteemed tannery is committed to crafting the most exquisite open-pored leathers, upholding the venerable legacy of German artisanry. In serving not only Fort Belvedere but also numerous elite and luxury fashion brands, it secures its reputation as a purveyor of premium leathers.

Details & Specs

Black Togo passport holder
  • Unparalleled Organizational Potential

    Never misplace a ticket, identification card, or passport again. The Fort Belvedere Passport Holder puts every travel item directly at your fingertips.

  • Convenient Passport Pouches

    Two dedicated passport protectors provide a secure and accessible location for stowing your passport or passports if you carry multiples. You could also carry a passport for someone else. Lined with slip-resistant moire, your passport is held in place and protected from damage or loss. The slipway under the cardholder section could also be used to store a third passport.

  • Seven Cardholder Slots

    Constructed entirely from leather, our durable cardholder slots maintain a tight grip on every card you will need for traveling. Whether credit cards, bank cards, or ID cards, you can rest assured knowing that they will remain securely tucked away in these hard wearing slots.

    Please note that while you can double-stack cards in these slots, doing so will stretch out the leather. It will also, naturally, add overall bulk to the passport holder.

  • Large Central Pouch

    Running the length of the passport protector, this oversized central pouch is designed to hold everything you need for travel that can’t be fitted someplace else, such as tickets, schedules, foreign currency, customs forms, and similar items. Its all-leather lining offers exceptional protective capacity and longevity.

  • Passport Holder with RFID-Blocking Technology

    The information contained in official documents like passports is some of the most sensitive you are likely to carry in public, and no one wants to start a vacation with their credit card information being stolen. A layer of RFID-blocking fabric has been added to this passport carrier, ensuring your safety and security while traveling.

  • Heirloom-Quality Travel Accesssory

    As a luxury traveler you aren’t afraid to invest in quality, but you expect superior value and durability from your travel accoutrement, be it your checked luggage, a carry-on bag, or a document case. Accordingly, every element of this passport carrier has been crafted to, with proper care, offer you a lifetime of use, which is exactly what you should expect from high-end travel equipage.

  • Proudly Made in Europe

    With a history of craftsmanship, stringent quality, environmental and fair labor laws, and access to a massive pool of talented workers, many of the finest menswear goods are made in Europe. This leather bifold wallet has been carefully constructed by artisans who have studied and practiced their trades for years.

  • Twice the Leather of Other Document Carriers

    Most document organizers are cheap, temporary items made from inexpensive materials that are bought,thrown away, and bought again in a cycle of waste. We set out to craft a beautiful accessory that worked as well as it looked, and that required the best possible materials, with a primary reliance on leather. In fact, we use about twice as much leather as our competitors. While this increases overall costs for us, it creates a superior product that can, with proper care, return to you a lifetime of use.

  • Thinned Folded Edges

    Folded edges are essential for ensuring the durability of leather goods. But most are made with edges that are cut and then painted or burnished. With wear, this edge dressing deteriorates over time and cracks. At Fort Belvedere, the edges of our leather goods are meticulously thinned down at an angle before being folded and sewn together. This not only produces a uniform edge thickness, but it also greatly reduces the wear on the edges of the accessory. As a result, our folded-edges typically last twice as long as edges that are just edge-painted or burnished.

  • Passport Holder with Double-Folded Edges Throughout

    The longevity of leather items is greatly enhanced by the presence of folded edges. However, the majority of leather goods like passport pouches have edges that are simply cut and then finished with paint or burnishing. Such edge finishing tends to wear down and crack as time goes by. At Fort Belvedere, we take great care in angling and thinning the edges of our passport carriers before folding and stitching them together. This careful process not only ensures consistent edge thickness but also significantly minimizes edge wear. Consequently, the folded edges on our wallets generally last about twice as long as those assembled with other processes.

    This attention to detail extends even to the card slots. While on other products card slots are simply cut out of the leather, each one of our slots has been attentively folded. This ensures longevity and a neat, elegant appearance.

  • Rounded Corners for Easy Access when Traveling

    Sharp, pointed edges catch on your clothes and create unnecessary delays. We rounded the edges on this passport organizer so that you can take it in and out of your pocket with ease, providing ready access to all of your important information and documents.

  • Functionality-Driven Lining

    Just like in our wallets, the inside of the central pouch is all lined in the same layer as the holder on the outside. This means, we use a lot more leather than other passport holders on the market, but we believe it yields in a product that will stand the test of time.

    To reduce bulk, we also employed an Italian-made synthetic moire in our iconic shade of deep forest green to lined the card slots and passport slots. This viscose fabric has been treated to resist fraying and does not adversely alter the overall longevity of the passport holder, but does contribute to a considerably slimmer and lighter profile. It also creates the perfect glide for the quick removal of needed items.

  • Tastefully Debossed Fort Belvedere Name & Crest

    The “Fort Belvedere” name and crest appear on the interior right panel of this passport holder, tastefully identifying the maker without flashy or distracting branding.

  • Tested by Luxury Frequent Fliers

    This passport holder was extensively tested internally and by frequent travelers to determine exactly what worked and what needed to be improved. The result is a carefully designed and engineered passport carrier, made for frequent luxury travelers by frequent luxury travelers.
