Everyone uses a wallet, but no one uses it the same way. John Truex and Richard Lambertson, Shinola\u2019s co-design directors of leather, had that notion top of mind when they designed our core collection of Shinola wallets.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are so many things to consider about the way someone lives that will dictate the pieces we design.\u201d John says. \u201cDifferent people have different needs when it comes to the wallet they carry. Do they travel often? Do they save receipts? Do they carry cash? Do they keep them in their pockets or throw them in a bag?\u201d<\/p>\n

Wallets have to be functional and because they aren\u2019t changed or rotated as much as other accessories, they are an important investment. Creating something durable and with a timeless aesthetic are important considerations.<\/p>\n

John and Richard make a point of carrying each and every wallet they design before it is manufactured. \u201cI like to see how the size feels. How it stretches over time. How easy it is to get the cards in and out,\u201d John says. If a wallet does not meet the duo\u2019s standards, it returns to the studio for development.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s not a wallet in the collection that we haven\u2019t redesigned a few times.\u201d Richard says.<\/p>\n

Shinola\u2019s current collection is composed of five core styles that cater to a variety of lifestyles and individual preferences. \u201cOnce you get the right billfold, you don\u2019t mess with it.\u201d John says. \u201cYou play with materials and color at that point. Texture is where we can get more creative.\u201d<\/p>\n

John and Richard were accessory enthusiasts long before they designed them for a living. \u201cI\u2019m obsessed with wallets,\u201d John says. \u201cI have a whole dresser drawer dedicated to them, and I like to switch them weekly, sometimes daily, to match my bag. I\u2019ll go from the Slim Bifold to the Gusset Card Case to the Hipster Wallet to the Medium Zip Wallet to the 5-Pocket Card Case and back again. I have certain wallets I\u2019ll carry when I am wearing a suit and others I carry when I travel.\u201d<\/p>\n

The wallet is the unsung hero of the accessory world. It holds your whole life together \u2014 it better be well made.<\/p>\n
