The joy of "nurturing" Margaux leather. The unique look created by the scratching process.

This is "Margaux" leather from Virgilio, an Italian company, used in the 4th generation of Tenuis. Its most distinctive feature is the circular scratch pattern on the surface. Initially, it has a matte, rough texture like Japanese paper, but as you use it, the oils inside seep out, transforming it into a glossy, deep-colored leather. It is similar to "Pueblo" leather from Badarassi Carlo, another Italian leather company.

When choosing a "thin bifold wallet," many people purchase it expecting it to age beautifully, but it's also true that some people are concerned about the increasing number of scratches on the leather surface. However, Margaux wallets have a scratch-processed pattern from the start, so scratches are not only less noticeable, but everyday friction actually accelerates the aging process, reflecting the individuality of each user.

Maintenance is basically as simple as brushing. The rich oils inherent in the leather itself will patiently support it as it breaks in and becomes more comfortable in your hands. The joy of cultivating your own unique vintage piece is what Margaux offers.
