In Italy, a Luxury Gift for Him This Christmas, from Son to Father

In Italy, there's a long-standing tradition where, upon turning 18, a son gifts his father. This is a significant ritual for sons transitioning into manhood and their fathers, a gesture of gratitude and respect. Valextra wallets have long been chosen as the ultimate gift for this occasion.

Mr. Carminati of the Carminati Family, the current owner of Valextra, who is a wealthy individual owning a vast area in the northwestern Italian city of Bergamo and has contributed to the city through donations of roads and churches, as well as various businesses and welfare initiatives, also gifted his father a beautiful Valextra leather wallet, a gift he had long intended.

Inheriting the spirit of founder Giovanni Fontana, he recalled and re-employed all the artisans skilled in traditional craftsmanship. He meticulously and repeatedly taught young apprentices the techniques for crafting traditional saddlery, as well as Valextra's unique style and ethos.


Valextra's luxury is expressed through the meticulously crafted details, each finished by the hands of artisans.

Inheriting the superior quality and innovative design established by founder Giovanni Fontana, true luxury resides within the unseen spiritual realm, achieved through the finest specially tanned leather, the threads used for stitching, the finishing of metal components, and the original color variations of over 20 beautiful hues created through unique processes, all while eliminating any excess.


The Christmas limited collection "2011 Valextra Christmas Special SLG Collection" features six items, all crafted from the finest calf leather, finished to a smooth, supple texture.

The color variations—coral, framboise, magenta, vanilla, lime, petro blue, turquoise, and emerald—possess a luster reminiscent of opening a jewelry box, vividly conveying a timeless, universal style, current trends, and impeccable craftsmanship.
