Primula has created a range of handmade luxury wallets using a combination deer-leather, calf-leather and 'shantung'-silk that are surprising lightweight and fit every need and occasion.
Every edge of these wallets has been turned by hand with meticulous attention to detail to ensure a perfect finish of luxurious quality. You will be surprised and delighted with the beautiful soft calf-leather and 'shantung'-silk lining, which is designed not only to complement the deer-leather, but also give the feel of perfection. Each wallet simply feels as good as it looks.
Primula has built a fine reputation for creating leather items that are both artistic and very durable. These wallets are individually handmade by master craftsmen to the highest standards using age-old traditional skills handed down through generations. This ensures that every wallet will be a pleasure to own and use for many years to come.
Rumored to have started life as a way of decorating parts of Samurai attire, In-den is a process by which famously soft, smooth deer-leather is lacquered with intricate patterns. The lacquered patterns are achieved using a process somewhat similar to screen printing. Stencils are created by hand using 'Ise Washi' (fine quality Japanese paper) with techniques and designs that very few craftsmen are still able to do. The urushi lacquer itself acts as an adhesive and is guaranteed to never peel off! In-den not only looks extremely beautiful, but is hard-wearing and will stand the test of time.
The Primula range comes in a choice of two sizes. The classic 'bifold' wallet is designed to efficiently hold bank-notes, at least 3 credit cards, a driver’s license, business-cards and loose change (the incorporated coin pocket has a press stud fastener). The 'long' wallet, which can be carried in a bag or a coat pocket, has space for 7 credit cards / business cards, a driver's license, bank-notes and loose change (in an incorporated full-length, zippered coin pouch). There is also a full-length pocket on the outside that can be used for quick access to low-denomination bills! Known to improve in vibrancy over time, the three gorgeous color choices of urushi lacquer on black deer-leather (red, beige and black) come in a design choice of either Sakura or Foliage Arabesque.
Engineered with pride, a Primula wallet makes a great gift and a faithful companion destined to be admired for many years to come.
