Frequently Asked Questions
Where are Popov Leather wallets made?
Every Popov wallet is made by hand in the brand's workshop in Nelson, British Columbia, Canada, by a small team of cutters and stitchers. Products are made to order rather than mass produced.
What leather does Popov use?
Thick full grain leather, including Horween leather from Chicago, chosen to age and patina rather than wear out. It's the top layer of the hide with the grain intact, which is why the wallets are built to last decades.
Does Popov Leather offer a warranty?
Yes, a lifetime guarantee. Popov stands behind every piece it makes, which is rare even among handmade leather brands.
How did Popov Leather start?
Founder Ryan Popoff couldn't find the simple front-pocket leather wallet he wanted, so he made one himself in 2013. His wife Jill convinced him to sell the design online, and the orders never stopped.
