Small Leather Goods
Wallets, card holders, coin purses, key pouches — the everyday pieces that make a house's craft legible in the hand.
What we carry
Graded honestly, every one.
A grade and a condition note on every piece, and photographs that include whatever is wrong with it. No prices here — write to us about anything you'd like to see.
Visible wear, settled in. Photographed from every angle.
Light edge wear, listed on the piece.
Slots have softened with use. Weave intact throughout.
Corner softening and light edge wear, photographed from every side.
What to look for
Where this category shows its age.
Every category wears differently. These are the three things worth your attention here — and the three we photograph closest.
Card slots
A wallet that was used has stretched slots, and that's fine — it's the first thing we check and the first thing we photograph.
Edge paint
The painted edge is where small leather goods age fastest. Chips and thinning are normal at every grade below Pristine, and they're always in the condition note.
Zips and snaps
Small hardware gets used hundreds of times more often than a bag clasp. We run every zip and press every snap before a piece is graded.
The rubric
What the grade on each piece means.
Published in full, so a grade means the same thing here as it does anywhere else in the house.
| Grade | What it means |
|---|---|
| Pristine | Unworn or indistinguishable from unworn. No visible flaws under studio light. |
| Excellent | Light, careful use. Faint surface wear you have to look for. Nothing structural. |
| Very Good | Honest wear — light corner rub, faint interior marks — photographed and listed on the piece. |
| Good | Visible wear that has settled into character. Every flaw shown from every angle. |
| Loved | A piece with a past. Priced for it, photographed without mercy, described without excuses. |
