leather goods men

The Atelier, Production and Creation has the Josh coin purse moulded by artisans, and cuts several card holders from smooth vegetable-tanned leather. A men's card holder then raises two practical questions: the cards it needs to take and where it travels.

The size of men's card holders

A.P.C. shapes its men's card holders around what they carry, and the Andre cardholder keeps to three slots, two on one side and one on the other. It comes in black and dark navy blue in vegetable-tanned leather, and in dark chestnut brown and a grained steel blue. A.P.C. keeps it to a size that slips into the front pocket of its trousers. For most days, three cards are enough.

The Paris cardholder takes the same layout and adds a zip pocket in the centre, which gives loose change its own place. A.P.C. makes it in smooth black, dark chestnut brown and grained steel blue, as well as in box leather. This slightly fuller card holder for men suits the back pocket of men's tapered jeans. Either cardholder answers the first question; the second turns on where it is carried.

If men's leather card holders carry more

Once a men's leather card holder moves into a satchel or a tote, it can afford a fuller layout, and the Stefan cardholder offers one. It has two card slots on the left and two on the right, with a multifunction space beside them, in smooth black or box leather. A.P.C. arranges it as two compartments, which suit the inside of a man bag well. Its silvertone logo is small.

The Dough cardholder takes another approach, in a compact 10 by 7.2 centimetres. A.P.C. engraves the Dough's single large sleeve with the guitar and dagger logo, and offers it in black or in metallic silver. A.P.C. also fits it with a neck strap, so it can hang neatly alongside a sling bag for men. Among these card holders for men, the Dough is worn on its strap rather than carried.

Men's card holder wallet or purse

The Josh coin purse is where a men's card holder wallet meets a coin purse, with five card slots and a place for coins. A.P.C. gives the Josh's vegetable-tanned leather a horseshoe shape with rounded corners and closes it with a snap flap. It is offered in black, dark chestnut brown and nut brown. Slipped straight into a men's shopper bag, it keeps change and cards together in one place.

A men's wallet remains the choice for banknotes, and A.P.C. has designed one with room for notes and for six cards. For cards and coins alone, a cardholder does the job at a smaller size. A.P.C. gathers the other small pieces carried with them among its accessories for men. For a card holder or a men's wallet alike, the choice rests on the number of cards and where they go.
