Vintage TORRENTE Paris Brown leather bifold wallet, chequebook cover

An elegant cognac brown leather wallet by TORRENTE Paris, the outside with subtle embossed thick lines and gold plated corners, the inside gold tooled "Torrente Paris" with 5 + 2 card slots, 2 space for bank notes and a zippered pocket for coins. Simple and sophisticated, it is a truly timeless piece. Condition: Distressed. The outside with pen marks and slight staining, the gold finished corners with losses to the gold tone. The spine with creasing. The inside of the wallet with staining and some of the surface finish on the canvas pieces deteriorating and letting go. Some white scuffed staining on the canvas-looking pieces - I am not sure what it is (not mildew, it does not smell, nor can it be simply wiped off with alcohol) The material is still very soft and supple and a delight to handle. Size: 7-1/4 inches wide x 3.5 inches high x 1/2 inch thick (18.5 x 9 x 1.5 cm) "Torrente is a French haute couture and ready-to-wear label.
