Orange

Your checkbook case in orange crocodile was crafted with the traditional saddlery and leathercrafting know-how of Duret Paris. We have been bringing our exacting quality, subtle style, and eye for perfection to our unique and authentic leather goods for over 25 years. The quality of our leathers and skins is paramount to us, since they will be the cornerstone of the checkbook case or accessory you select. The leather of your checkbook case or accessory is then dyed the desired color, orange, using natural pigments. A hallmark of Duret Paris, a patinated orange can also be achieved through the application of beeswax. Your orange leather checkbook cover can be monogrammed with your initials – or someone else’s, if it is to be a gift.

Crocodile

Our wallets and accessories crafted in crocodile skin have won devotees right across the world – elegant people who appreciate the added value we bring through our superb craftsmanship. Duret Paris has built up a precious store of know-how over the years, and we are experts in handling this hard and durable skin. To make your crocodile checkbook cover, we use the skin from the belly of the animal up to its tail, but also from the flanks, because these are the thinner, more supple cuts of skin. Most saddlery products and leather goods made with crocodile leather use skins from farm-bred Nile crocodiles or saltwater crocodiles. To do justice to this noble raw material, we dye it with natural pigments that can yield colors ranging from hot pink to the deepest black.
