A Givenchy wallet for the first time in a while
Hello. After the recent heat, the weather has gradually become more pleasant, and things have gotten a lot easier, haven't they?
It’s finally that time of year when our eyes start turning to leather goods for fall and winter, isn’t it? Starting this month, we’ll be rolling out new items one after another! 👍
For our first new release in September, we created a wallet featuring the "Galsson" design, which many of our regular customers had been requesting for some time.
It’s been a while since I’ve had a “Garçon” made, so I asked a craftsman to make one for me for the first time in four or five years.

Crocodile leather wallets are made from the center section of the hide, which requires more leather than a typical wallet, so they are inevitably more expensive. However, their distinctive design—one that sets them apart from other wallets—is truly captivating.

By the way, as for why they’re called “galsons,”
"Garçon" is a French word meaning "boy," "young man," or "waiter."
Waiters who work in restaurants in Europe and elsewhere are called “garsons,” a name derived from the wallets they used to carry.
In European cafes and restaurants, it is customary to settle the bill at the table, and this wallet is indispensable when going from table to table to collect payments.
For this reason, the coin compartment in a waiter's wallet is designed to be large so that it's easy to reach into.
Thanks to the exceptional ease of use of the Garçon wallet, it has become widely popular among women as well. This Garçon design is popular with both men and women.

As you can see, it has a wide opening, so it’s a great product that can hold large quantities of cash, receipts, various cards, coins, and more. Once you try it, you’ll be hooked on how easy it is to use.
Its appeal lies in its excellent functionality and ease of use, which make it a favorite among professionals.
The exterior is made entirely of crocodile leather, while the interior features thinly split calfskin. Crafted according to our store’s original recipe, with meticulous attention to every detail, this is a piece we’re truly proud of.
This is our top-recommended wallet, so if you’re even a little curious, please stop by our store and check it out for yourself.
We look forward to hearing from you. Until next time—goodbye! 👋
