Frequently Asked Questions about the Product

Is the leather genuine? What type of leather is it?

Yes. The 108 Nappa Cardholder is made of full-grain Italian Nappa leather, sourced from the Gruppo Mastrotto tannery. Full-grain leather is the highest quality grade: it is not artificially corrected or sanded, retains its original natural grain, and is soft, durable, and capable of developing an authentic patina over time. The smooth Nappa finish makes it particularly soft and pleasant to the touch.

How many cards does it hold and how does the elastic work?

The cardholder holds up to 8 standard cards (credit card size) distributed in the 3 separate compartments. The hidden internal elastic progressively expands, adapting to the number of cards inserted, keeping everything compact and tidy. For optimal use, it is recommended not to exceed 6-8 cards to maintain its slim profile.

Can banknotes fit?

Yes. Banknotes can be inserted folded in three. Euro, US dollar, and Australian dollar banknotes fit well with this fold. It is not a dedicated compartment, but the expandable structure comfortably accommodates them along with the cards.

How thin is it? Does it fit in a pocket?

Yes. The cardholder measures only 8.2 × 5.7 × 1 cm and weighs 13 g. It is one of the slimmest and lightest accessories in the GRAMS28 catalog. It easily fits in a trouser pocket, an inside jacket pocket, or any bag without creating bulk.

What is the difference between this Nappa Cardholder and the Snowflake Cardholder?

Both have the same dimensions (8.2 × 5.7 × 1 cm), the same weight (13 g), and the same elastic structure. The difference lies in the material and aesthetics: the Nappa Cardholder is made of smooth Gruppo Mastrotto Nappa leather — a uniform, soft, and refined surface, with a patina that develops more subtly over time. The Snowflake Cardholder is made of Badalassi Carlo Pueblo leather with a Snowflake finish — a textured and irregular surface that visibly transforms with use, developing a much more pronounced glossy patina. Those who prefer a clean and classic look will choose Nappa; those who love leather that "lives" and changes will choose Snowflake.

In what colors is it available?

The 108 Nappa Cardholder is available in three colors: Black (classic black, versatile, and formal), Dark Blue (dark blue, elegant, and slightly more distinctive), and Olive (olive green, a natural and contemporary tone). All three versions are made with the same full-grain Gruppo Mastrotto Nappa leather.

Does the leather improve with use?

Yes. Full-grain Nappa leather develops a natural patina over time, which enhances the material's appearance, making it increasingly personal. Compared to the Snowflake version, the Nappa's patina is thinner and more subtle, maintaining its smooth and refined appearance even after prolonged use.

How do you care for and clean it?

For routine cleaning, a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth is sufficient. To maintain the leather's softness over time, it is recommended to periodically apply a neutral leather conditioner. Avoid prolonged exposure to humidity, direct sunlight, and excessive heat.

Can it completely replace a wallet?

It depends on personal habits. For those who primarily carry cards and a few banknotes, the 108 Nappa Cardholder is a complete and more elegant replacement for a classic wallet. For those who need space for many banknotes or additional documents, it can be used in conjunction with a second accessory.

Is it suitable as a gift?

Yes, it is a practical, elegant, and high-quality gift for any occasion. Its compact size, premium Italian leather, and essential design make it appreciated for birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, and any special occasion.
