Forget designer brands, most of which are mass-produced products in Asia, to satisfy their global market. For truly top-notch luxury leather wallets for men, look at the companies listed below.
1) Smithson
Although 125 years old, Smythsons languished for most of their history, including a spell as a subsidiary of John Menzies, newsstands, until the management ransom in 1998 became a catalyst for creating a promising modern luxury brand with a legacy to draw. Thanks to its fixed lines, now secondary to its leather goods, Smythsons offers a wide range of wallets that appreciate the simplicity and quality of workmanship for design, innovation or tricks. They have three royal orders, and their wallets are built to last for a lifetime.
Pack selection: Panama wallet with a wallet from a card with a card € 175.
2) Picket
Founded in the 1980s by Trevor Pickett, the Pickett site does not refer to the quality of its products. Together with its stores in Sloan and Burlington Art, in London, Pickett sells a wide range of high-quality British leather goods, along with Pachminas and other accessories. They are framed in exotic skins, including sheep's clothing, ostrich, lizard and crocodile, and their wallets are simple, elegant and understated, often used in two colors and with several models to choose from.
Package selection: a short wallet with Lambskin short cards £ 175.
3) Ettinger
The owners of the Prince of Wales. Royal Warrant, Ettinger is a family business founded in 1930 that is equally aware of the past and the future. Since he acquired James Homer Ltd., a former saddlery master leather master, in 1999, the company moved from strength to strength. These are products in collections, some collaborate with other luxury brands such as Bentley and Wimbledon, and the brand is defined by its combinations of different colors. The concept and design of advanced solutions combined with the craftsmanship of the craftsmen come at a price, although, although less real Bentley, to be fair.

4) Underline
Tusting is a fifth-generation family business that produces classic leather luggage and accessories. Wallets are made by hand in their English workshop, with leather from Scandinavia, America, England and South Africa. While adhering to more conservative color decisions, the emphasis is on a more traditional client - although they do make sleeves for the iPad and iPhone - and the quality is as good as any. A safe choice for a good traditional wallet.
Bundle Selection: 8-Card Wallet in Black and Natural £ 129.
5) Launer
Founded by a Czech immigrant after the Second World War, Launer made a name for itself as the creator of the queen's handbag. Launer wallets are very high quality and made in Walsall, not far from Birmingham, the traditional home of the English leather industry. Despite the fact that there is no doubt about the quality, attempts to upgrade the range look a bit awkward. A good choice for no-frills classics.
Package Choice: 8 Card Wallet £ 154
