Alligator and Black Goatskin Card Holder – Ardent

Our two-material card holder in alligator and black goat leather, Ardent, is part of the Ardentes Clipei Leather Goods collection.

We now offer our version of the card holder in alligator and black goat leather. We chose a card holder with a height of 8.2 cm and a width of 10.5 cm, which makes it easy to slip into the inner pocket of your suit while also holding all your cards.

The three side pockets on each side of the card holder allow for storing numerous cards while maintaining a certain lightness.

This leather, sourced from Mississippi alligator skins, is a prestigious exotic leather known for its distinctive rectangular pattern and prized for its unique texture, durability, and luxurious appeal. It offers an exclusive combination of natural beauty, exceptional resistance, and refined texture.

The manufacturing, entirely handcrafted in Italy, demonstrates artisanal expertise and ensures exceptional quality and durability thanks to saddle stitching. Performed exclusively by hand with two needles attached to the ends of the same waxed thread, saddle stitching is a very resistant sewing method.

The production
Born in the heart of Italy, our leather accessories are made in an artisan workshop born from a passion for an ancient art, now threatened with extinction.

The entire production phase is done by hand, without the use of any machines. Each piece is entirely shaped by a single artisan. An exceptional process that guarantees consistency, mastery, and attention to detail that few workshops can offer today. Each creation is made using the saddle stitch technique, which is a strictly manual two-needle sewing technique that uses a single thread for greater strength and integrity over time.

For a long time, we wanted to offer handmade leather goods with a simplistic design. Together, we developed the idea of a slightly larger card holder and a long wallet, made from leathers that will develop a patina over time.

In the production process, ethics are of great importance, which is why all materials used comply with pre-established environmental parameters. Only by-products are used, meaning there is no specific production of leather for the items; they all come from the food industry. For exotic skins, in accordance with species protection regulations, only registered and CITES-certified skins are used.
