Zanebono Bifold Wallet with Flap II
Italian Full Grain Vachetta. Tuscan Leather District. Indigo.
Lifetime Warranty · Hand finished in Kanpur
Every man has one wallet he reaches for over all the others, the one that simply feels right in the hand. Zanebono means the good one, and it is made to be exactly that, for a lifetime.
The Zanebono is a bifold wallet made in Italian full grain smooth Vachetta, the natural vegetable tanned leather of the Tuscan Leather District, lined in the same smooth Vachetta so that the leather is honest through and through.
Vachetta is leather kept close to its natural state, vegetable tanned and left uncoated, and here it is chosen smooth, its surface clean and even to the touch. The same leather lines the inside, so there is no lesser material hidden within. It goes on living once it is yours, warming and deepening with handling, drawing a patina no two wallets will ever share.
This piece is cut from Vachetta, a natural vegetable tanned leather from Tuscany. It is tanned slowly, with plant extracts in place of chemicals, in a tradition held for generations. Left close to its natural state, it deepens in tone and takes its patina with wear, so the leather becomes a quiet record of the years it is carried. Every Vachetta hide carries the guarantee of the Consorzio Vera Pelle Italiana Conciata al Vegetale, the mark that certifies genuine vegetable tanned leather made in Tuscany.
Inside are two cash compartments, eight card slots and two hidden slots, with a coin pocket for the change a man still likes to carry, arranged so the wallet stays trim in the hand. The whole is secured with RFID and NFC shielding, so the cards within cannot be read without your knowing.
A slim flap folds out to a meshed window that holds an identity card face out, seen at a glance and never unclipped, so the card you show most often is always to hand.
The single flourish on an otherwise unadorned wallet is the James Aston medallion, the house mark set into the face as a small round emblem. It is not a fastening but a signature, the quiet mark that tells you, and tells others, whose work you are carrying.
Zanebono means the good one, the wallet a man comes to reach for over all the others. It is made the way the finest things are made, without shortcut and without season, guaranteed for the whole of its life. Crafted once, and carried forever.
We stand behind the making of every Zanebono for the whole of its life. Should the stitching, the medallion, the leather or the construction ever fail, we repair or restore it. The leather is smooth Vachetta, vegetable tanned and left close to its natural state, and it is meant to age. It will deepen and soften into a patina that belongs to you alone. That is not wear. That is the point.

Smooth Vachetta is a natural vegetable tanned leather and matures with handling. Keep it dry, avoid overfilling it, and from time to time work in a little neutral leather conditioner. Marks and a deepening tone are the nature of the leather, not a fault in it. Carried daily, it becomes unmistakably your own.
