Genuine python skin on both faces, one of a kind
The front and the back of the card holder are genuine python skin, not embossed leather and not a printed pattern. The python has a mottled, multi-tonal finish, so its tones shift from one scale to the next, with darker shading in the pockets between the scales and a soft semi-gloss sheen across the top. Wide scales run in a column down the center of each panel, with smaller, diamond-shaped scales toward the sides, and the free edge of each scale is slightly lifted, so the panels have a relief you can feel under your fingertips. Fine light beige stitching outlines each python panel. Because the pattern comes from the skin itself, the placement of the scales and the mix of tones on each card holder are unique to it and differ from the photos.
Four stacked card slots and a lined center pocket
Each face of the card holder carries two card slots, one stacked above the other. The top edge of the python panel forms the mouth of the outer slot, and a straight slot line in the black leather above it opens the inner slot a little higher up. Between the two faces, a center pocket opens along the top edge of the card holder. Lined in smooth black leather, the pocket takes extra cards. With two slots on each face and the pocket between them, the card holder carries your everyday cards in a single flat piece.
Smooth black top-grain leather, painted edges and no hardware
Above the python on each face, the card holder is smooth black top-grain leather with a satin finish, a quiet contrast to the raised scales below. Tonal black stitching runs along the top edge and down the sides of the black leather, the edges of the card holder are painted black all round, and its corners are very slightly rounded. The front of the card holder carries GENTCREATE in small gold-foil capitals, centered on the black leather just above the python panel, and the back is plain. The card holder has no fold, flap, snap, zipper or metal hardware, so it keeps a slim, flat profile.
A leather card holder sized for a shirt or blazer pocket
At 10 x 7.3 cm (3.94 x 2.87 in), the card holder is wider than it is tall, with every slot and the center pocket opening along the long top edge. It is sized for a standard payment card, which measures 8.56 x 5.4 cm (3.37 x 2.13 in), and with no fold and no hardware it slips into a shirt pocket, the breast pocket of a blazer or a small bag without adding bulk.

Caring for genuine python skin and smooth black leather
- Wipe the python with a soft, dry cloth in the direction of the scales, never against them, so the scale edges stay flat.
- Keep it dry and clear of heaters and long periods in direct sun; soaked or overheated scales can lift, and strong sun can fade colored python.
- Carry it apart from keys and coins, which can catch the raised edges of the scales.
- Wipe the smooth black leather and the painted edges with a soft, dry cloth.
- Avoid solvents and alcohol-based cleaners on the python, the leather and the painted edges.
- Do not overfill the slots, so their mouths keep their shape.
