It depends on the lines. Tonic combines nylon and cowhide, Fidélio combines vinyl and leather. Gretel, Azelie, and Jara are made of synthetic material, which is lighter and easier to maintain. The composition is listed on each product page.

It is a rounded bag, often cinched at the top, reminiscent of a drawstring pouch. It is flexible and holds a lot of items despite its compact look. Ted Lapidus offers it in the Gretel line, in both large and small sizes.

The Jara long wallet, in synthetic material, combines banknotes, cards, and coins in a long format. The Toni wallet, in nylon and leather, offers 9 card slots. Fidélio offers a vinyl and leather wallet for a more dressed-up style.

Wipe patent leather with a soft, slightly damp cloth, then dry it immediately. Avoid prolonged contact with dark fabrics, which may transfer color. Store the bag in a fabric pouch, away from heat, which can dull its shine.
