The history of the portfolio
If today it is an essential accessory in a man's life, thewallethas its source in the year 3300 BC in the form of a lambskin pouch. This was worn around the neck to carry small, everyday essential items. The name “wallet” only appeared in 1300 AD but leather was already the preferred material for making thissmall piece of leather goodsin ancient Greece (1st century BC). Until the Renaissance, the wallet was used to store provisions. It was only from the 20th century that it took on the use for which we know it: with the appearance (and then the explosion) of credit cards, the wallet is more than practical for storing cards but also tickets, change, identity card and driving license. Since then, this accessory, now made of leather or synthetic material, has been an everyday essential and comes in various shapes, colors, materials and styles to suit every man.
How to choose your wallet?
At the house ofHexagon, we offer you a range of wallets to match your needs and desires. To find the right model, first think about what you want to use it for, and whether you want to take all of your personal belongings with you or separate them into otherleather goods accessories(wallet, checkbook holder,card holder…) Then choose according to the design: there areItalian wallets, either in horizontal format, and European portfolios, or in vertical format. The advantage of the second version? THEEuropean portfoliois large enough to accommodate your driving license, while this feature is not always present in Italian models. However, as the two formats remain similar in terms of interior layout (card slots, wallet, bill pockets, etc.), we advise you to make your choice based solely on your tastes. Also think about the color in which you want your wallet: if black and brown remain timeless, dare to add color to your life by opting for a navy blue, green or burgundy model.
