The brand's Compact Wallet boasts an elegant all-black design from soft and durable Italian apple leather—which gives new life to apple waste from the fruit and juice industry—eco cupro satin fabric made from cotton waste and 100% recycled bottle lining. Although slim, the wallet design is capable of holding 12 credit cards, folded notes and receipts. The entirety of the wallet is sustainably crafted with eco-friendly materials and processes that mindfully conserve resources.
