What best sellers say about how people buy

Red is the surprise: it shows up in men's and women's wallets, a belt and the mini zip-around, because it is easy to find in a bag and works as a statement piece. Prices cluster between $44 and $98, which fits both self-purchases and gifts. Most of these pieces are bought as gifts, and all arrive in a branded gift box.

How to choose

Format matters more than color. A long travel wallet in a small crossbody bag, or a slim bifold for someone carrying eight cards plus receipts, will frustrate however good the leather is. See the men's wallet guide, the women's wallet guide and small versus long wallets. For color, see how to choose the right wallet color.

The ratchet belts adjust in small steps, so there are no holes to match; see the ratchet belts guide.

Materials

Our wallets, handmade pieces and Apple Watch bands are full-grain vegetable-tanned leather, which softens and develops a patina with use. Ratchet belts and traditional watch bands are top-grain leather. See full-grain versus top-grain leather.

Personalization, shipping and returns

Personalization is free on wallets, belts and handmade pieces: up to 40 characters including spaces, no foil or gold, silver, black or white foil. Watch bands cannot be personalized. Personalized orders usually ship the next business day, and always within 2 business days. US shipping is free and orders placed before 1 p.m. Central time ship the same business day. Standard items can be returned within 30 days with free US return shipping; personalized items are final sale. See the wallet and belt gift guide.
