This bifold wallet is designed to meet the demand for storing coins separately from the wallet. It features three card slots on each side and one side pocket, making it ideal for those who carry many cards. It has two bill compartments and is a popular model in ETTINGER 's home country, the UK.

The outer leather is durable bridle leather, the same type used for reins and horse tack, while the inner lining uses supple leather (panel hide), the same type used for the inside of saddles that come into contact with the horse's back.
