Minimalist wallets: the most practical accessory to carry in a largely cash-less Singapore. The perfect minimalist wallet is able to marry form and function – something Gnome & Bow takes the utmost pride in. The compact nature of our classic wallets’ does not compromise style for a more comfortable pocket, while their sleek designs offer a high-end, versatile appeal.

If you are on the opposite end of the spectrum and require more space, traditional bifold wallets will be right up your alley. With an extra card compartment and coin holder providing easy access to your essentials, you can keep money management simple. A truly timeless choice, a premium leather bifold wallet is certainly a top pick for any gentleman, from the beloved husband to the charming father.

As leather artisans, we know fully well that design is just as important as function. At Gnome & Bow, we only use genuine full-grain leather to craft our leather masterpieces. This leather makes use of the top layer hide of the animal once the hair is removed, translating to a visible natural grain pattern that adds depth and personality to their visual appearances. With time and use, this leather will develop a unique patina that is specific to the owner, making it truly one-of-a-kind. Just like how each individual is unique, no two wallets are exactly the same as each of our wallets is handcrafted with natural leathers. As tellers of tales, our leather accessories serve as a medium of storytelling. Imbued with stories from fairytales and folklore, our wallets are designed to spark a sense of wonder and imagination. If you wish to add your own story into the mix, we offer personalisation services to weave your message into the design.

Whether it’d be to replace an old wallet or to send it as a meaningful gift to a special someone, Gnome & Bow will gladly help you find the perfect leather wallet.

Proper care is necessary to ensure your leather wallet stands the test of time. Exposure to sunlight, heat, and moisture can cause damage and discolouration, so keep it away from these elements. A quick wipe with a soft, dry cloth will keep your wallet looking sharp by removing any dirt or debris. Apply a leather conditioner or cream every six months to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Remember not to overstuff your wallet, which can stretch the leather and damage the stitching. With some love and attention, your leather wallet can be a trusty companion for years to come.

Two essential things to consider when buying leather goods like wallets and purses are size and compartments. You want to make sure that the size fits your needs and lifestyle. For instance, if you carry a lot of cards, a wallet with multiple card slots like the Gulliver Slim Cash Card Holder Wallet

may be ideal. You also want to consider the compartments, such as a coin pouch, ID slot, and bill compartment, that will help you stay organised. Ultimately, it's important to balance functionality and style, so you can have a leather accessory that meets your needs and complements your style. 

When it comes to leather wallets, the best type of leather is full-grain leather. This is because full-grain leather is the strongest and most durable type of leather and develops a beautiful patina over time. It is made from the top layer of the hide and retains the natural texture and imperfections of the hide, giving it a unique character. At Gnome & Bow, we use genuine Nappa leather to craft our wallets and leather goods. Nappa leather is known for its softness, strength, and durability, making it an excellent choice for everyday use. With proper care, our Nappa leather wallets will age beautifully and last for years to come.
