Crockett & Jones break into the World of Wallets

A good wallet is far more than just a catch-all for your cards and cash—it’s your everyday sidekick, keeping you organised, stylish, and always ready for whatever life throws your way. Sure, Apple Pay may be the go-to for payment these days, but there are still plenty of reasons to carry a classic wallet. After all, it’s a piece you reach for daily, so it needs to stand up to the wear and tear of living in your pocket or getting tossed around in your handbag. For the first time in 145 years, Crockett & Jones is expanding its legendary legacy with a curated collection of luxury leather goods, designed to complement its celebrated Goodyear-welted shoes and boots.

Crafted from the finest leathers sourced from top European tanneries, each item reflects the same precision and craftsmanship that has defined the brand’s footwear for generations. The collection features premium leathers, handpicked for their durability, texture, and timeless appeal—and like all great things, these accessories evolve beautifully with age Produced in the UK, each piece is leather-lined in British Racing Green and meticulously stitched, embodying the same values that have made Crockett & Jones one of the world’s finest shoemakers. Now, let’s dive into the standout materials that form the solid foundation of these exquisite leather goods.

Smooth Leathers: The Classics

The Smooth Calf and Hurricane Hide leathers form the backbone of the collection, offering both elegance and durability. The Black Box Calf is a standout. A soft yet robust leather that perfectly complements the brand’s signature Goodyear-welted footwear. Known for its fine grain and exemplary break, this leather is made for its use in refined and durable wallets, card holders, and billfolds. The Hurricane Hide leather introduces timelessness in both colour and quality. Its impressive longevity and durability will allow the wallet to withstand the challenges of daily use for decades to come. Yet the rich, dark brown tone of the leather itself will never go out of style. These smooth leathers make cool classics to always run back to, no matter the times and trends.

Rough-Out Suede: The Weekenders

Onto the Rough-Out Suede (also known as Waxy Commander), a signature material in Crockett & Jones’ footwear range since the early '80s, having been used in collaboration with Ralph Lauren. This rugged, waterproof leather has earned its place in the collection for its durability and unique texture. Available in Black, Dark Brown, and Green, this sturdy suede is wax-impregnated with a tight fibre structure, making it incredibly hard-wearing. The leather evolves with use, taking on a unique, worn-in character over time. Ideal for weekend accessories, these leather goods combine ruggedness with distinction. This suede is tough for the rough and will only get better with age. The vintage wine of wallets, if you will.

Willow Grain: The Sophisticated

For a truly refined look, the Willow Grain leather delivers an embossed, full-grain finish that oozes sophistication. Crafted from the finest aniline-dyed calf leather, it’s selected for its exceptional grain definition and its remarkable ability to develop a rich patina over time. The Willow Grain collection includes wallets and accessories in Black, Dark Brown, and Tan, each showcasing a distinctive, linear grain pattern that flows in a perfect, directional format. Achieving this precision design requires larger, more premium cuts of leather, making each piece a rare find. The result? A collection that not only ages beautifully but gains character and charm with every year that passes.

Genuine Crocodile: The Exotic

For those looking to step beyond the classic brown leather wallet, the Genuine Crocodile collection is your bold new frontier. Renowned for its tough texture and exceptional durability, crocodile leather is one of the most coveted materials in the world of luxury accessories. The true art lies in matching the scales across different sections to create a seamless, striking pattern—a task reserved for only the most skilled artisans at Crockett & Jones. Available in Black, Dark Brown, and Tan, this collection showcases the brand’s mastery of rare, high-end materials, offering exclusive pieces that are guaranteed to turn heads and elevate any ensemble.

Each piece in the Crockett & Jones Leather Goods Collection is a reflection of the brand’s commitment to craftsmanship, quality, and timeless style.
