The art
-
"Abstract Head: Aurora" by Alexej von Jawlensky 1931
The Abstract Head paintings are a remarkable series of modern icons. Over and over Jawlensky abstracts the human face, shifting form and colour to transform each artwork. Every painting is powerfully their own yet also, unmistakably, one. "Aurora" (the name for the Roman Goddess of the dawn) has a profound, transcendent glow, its colours radiate hope, making it the perfect image for our celebration of the dawn.

The words
-
From "The Iliad" by Homer 8th Century BC
Our words are from the Alexander Pope translation of the Iliad and written by ‘the father of literature’, Homer. Homer may or may not have existed, but these words, 2700 (or so) years after their initial conception, exist in front of you now. And they still make you catch your breath. Combined with Jawlensky's "Aurora", this ART WRD offering to the dawn takes flight. Majestic, spiritual and transcendent.

We use the best organic non-toxic leather
ART WRD wallet leather is created from an ancient Italian technique using 100% natural, non-toxic, tannins from plants. These give the leather an unmistakable warm and brilliant shade that becomes more intense with daily use and the passing of time.
Our pioneering printing lasts a lifetime
In Nottingham, England we work with leather printing pioneers. Utilizing their specialist procedures, artworks are re-created like a tattoo, with ink absorbing deeper into the leather, resulting in unparalleled colour vibrancy, image quality and colour durability.
Our wallets are crafted by highly-skilled, passionate people
Just across the Nottinghamshire Wolds in Melton Mowbray our card holder wallets are handcrafted in small batches using traditional methods. This, along with the natural variation in these artisan products, means each one is unique. Expertly made to the very highest quality, they are full-leather (no nylon inners), double-stitched at pressure points and then lined with leather for durability, accessibility, and refinement.
In short, ART WRD card holder wallets are made to inspire you for a lifetime. So much so, we guarantee the construction of your Minimalist Card Holder for as long as you own it.
