Hi I'm Taimoor the founder of Leather Wallet and Belt Co
My love for leather started with my father.
Growing up I was always fascinated by the leather items he carried every day. His wallet and his belt . They were not just things he owned. They aged with him and seemed to tell a story of their own.
That curiosity stayed with me as I got older. I wanted to understand how leather was made and why some pieces could last for decades while others could not. So I travelled to Italy where I learned leather tanning and later trained with skilled craftsmen who taught me the art of making quality leather goods by hand.
After years of learning and working with leather I started Leather Wallet and Belt Co
Today I focus on making the same two products that inspired me from the beginning. Every wallet and every belt is made with care using quality leather and traditional craftsmanship. My goal is simple to create pieces that look better with age and stay with you for years to come.
We only use only the best – Full Grain Leather.
You've probably heard of "genuine leather." That title does not mean that the product is made of real leather (which it is, kind of), but it means it is the lowest quality of all products made out of real leather. You should read it as: "At least it's genuine leather."
Goods marked as genuine leather are made from several layers of low-quality leather bonded together with glue and then painted to look uniform. It’s created from what is left over when the other, higher grades are stripped away for pricier projects. That is why it flakes, tears, and does not last.
On the other hand, Full Grain Leather is the highest grade of leather. It is the top cut of the hide, where all of the strength, durability, and other amazing qualities of leather are found.
