Leather Passport Holder
Leather Passport Holder
Cellerini
Cellerini has been making leather goods in a first-floor atelier on Via del Sole, in central Florence, since the late 1950s. Alongside the bags and wallets that are the workshop's main work are the smaller objects that travel with you - and the passport holder is one of them.
This is a slim, two-fold cover, sized for a passport and not much more. The outside is fine cross-grained calfskin - a hard-wearing finish that shows wear well. The inside is smooth leather, with side flaps that hold the passport firm, and an embossed Cellerini mark in the corner of the lining.
It is the kind of object that sits in a pocket, comes out at counters and customs, and is handled many times in the course of a journey. It is made to last that.
Hand-cut, hand-stitched and finished on the bench in Florence.
Exclusive to Australia.

About Cellerini
Cellerini is a leather workshop on the first floor of Via del Sole 9, in central Florence. There is no shopfront, only a small sign at the door; to get in you press the bell and climb the stairs. Once you are inside the atelier, the workbenches are the ones the Cellerinis put there in 1960 - long, well-worn, dressed with the same hand-tools, leather laid out across them as it has always been.
Silvano and Anna Maria Cellerini started the workshop in the late 1950s, in a small rented room near the Mercato Nuovo, doing restoration. The work was good enough that the Florentine families took notice quickly. Within a few years they had the apartment on Via del Sole, where they have been ever since.
Everything that leaves the room is made in it: bags, wallets, belts, smaller leather objects, cut and stitched and finished by hand from a careful selection of Italian leathers. Pieces are made to last.
Cellerini is exclusive to Australia at The Leopard.
