Leather Wallet Buying Guide

When buying leather wallets, price, style, quality, and functionality are factors to consider. Sometimes, one factor may be a priority for you, and that’s okay. With the countless collection of wallets in the market, you are spoilt for choice.

• Leather quality. Good leather wallets are made from different types of leather, so you can get what most appeals to you. Full-grain leather and top-grain leather are the highest quality, while genuine leather (often mistaken for high-quality leather) comes from the lower layers of hide (lower quality). Some wallets are also made from bonded leather (made of scraps of leftover leather).
• Style. You can go for a leather bi-fold or tri-fold wallet if you’re looking for a functional wallet with multiple compartments for cards, bills and coins. The tri-fold wallet offers more storage, but it also tends to be bulkier. If you’re looking for a minimalist wallet, a cardholder or money-clip wallet are great options.
• Stitching. Often overlooked but very important, is the stitching. Good leather wallets should have intact seams, with strong, well-done stitches, preferably those made from polyester thread. Some wallets have cotton thread stitches, but these are not as strong as polyester thread stitches.
• RFID protection. Some leather wallets have RFID protection to keep contactless payment cards safe. 

Final Words

These are the top 14 leather wallets you should consider for graduation gifts. They are all made from high-quality leather, and if you prefer vegan leather, you’ll find some on the list. If you wish to personalize your gift, ensure you place your order early.
