Summary:
- Carl Friedrik has launched two new accessories: the “Foley” cardholder and “Clifton” passport sleeve.
- Both pieces are crafted using high-quality refined full-grain leather and form part of its recently released “Sonder” collection.
- The collection is available worldwide now.
Luxury travel goods maker Carl Friedrik has introduced its very first all-leather accessories capsule – a two-piece release that it describes as a “return to its roots.”
Founded in 2012 by Swedish brothers Mattis and Niklas Oppermann, the London-based brand’s latest silhouettes – the “Foley” cardholder and “Clifton” passport sleeve – form part of its recently released “Sonder” collection.
Both items are crafted from high-quality semi-aniline bovine leather with a full-grain finish – a material that’s become a Carl Friedrik signature. The Foley, a vertical cardholder with a “subtly curved silhouette,” holds four cards and features a “hidden” side compartment for storing notes or receipts. Complementing it is the Clifton, an elegant all-leather passport sleeve that includes a discreet additional pocket — or, as the brand describes it, an “extra back pocket” — just large enough to hold paper travel documents like a boarding pass. Additionally, both silhouettes feature smooth vachetta leather accents – small design details that help to elevate and refine each piece.
The new products are available in three colors – “Black”, “Chestnut” and “Dark Olive” – that were chosen to complement the color palette of the aforementioned Sonder collection. “Our approach to designing small leather goods is the same now as it was over a decade ago,” says Mattis Oppermann, adding that “minimalism with purpose, skilled craftsmanship and fine materials are always to the fore.”
Both the Foley and Clifton are available now via Carl Friedrik’s website priced at £125 GBP / $165 USD each.
