5Perfect Christmas Gift - Worth more than 5 Stars!P F, Goldencoast, California
The wallet I ordered was absolutely beautiful. My husband is going to be over the moon when he opens his gift on Christmas morning. I couldn't believe how prompt the delivery time was. Dealt with Customer Service by email. I received an answer right away and was extremely satisfied with the outcome. I would give more than 5 stars on this transaction if I could.
5Finally found a REAL "Tall" Wallet - from the U.K. (of course).N M, Chicago, IL, US
Back in the Ancient 90s I was on Summer Vacation in London, and had an issue with the "taller" U.K. currency fitting in my tiny American wallet. Seemed simple enough to walk into a store and buy a "taller" wallet that would handle "taller" bills. In hindsight, I should have bought a few spares as no wallet lasts forever.
These days, I am hard pressed to find a viable replacement.. ..at least until time travel becomes commonplace. In 2015 I tried looking about on-line (and on Amazon) for something, but the best I could find was an abomination known as a "Hipster Wallet". I think "Hipster" translates to "Throw away", as after three days I couldn't stand the thing. Last week I remembered "Real Wallets come from the U.K.", so searched Amazon.UK and within minutes had found Maxwell Scott's "Pianillo".
Basic Specifications for The Pianillo
-----------------------------------------------------
- Twelve card slots
- One center billfold slot,
- An inside pocket behind each row of card slots (total of two).
With a card in each slot and 20+ "bills" of US currency in the center pocket, it measures about..
8 1/8" length (open/laid flat)
6"-ish in height.
1-1.25" thick, but much of that thickness comes from paper money in the center pocket.
First Use
--------------
I suppose I would liken this to getting a new pair of shoes, as it needs to be Broken In. The card slots are TIGHT and sliding even a single card into each slot requires a bit of pushing. Paper business cards require a bit of "bending/pushing" to slide into the slots. Leather will stretch over time, so after some use this should no longer be an issue. Future models should have "RFID blocking" materials, but in 2018 I use an RFID-blocking paper sleeve around each card. The addition of these sleeves makes sliding the cards in-and-out of the slots a little trickier till the wallet gets Broken In. If one stores additional papers (invoices, etc) in the wallet along with paper currency (20+), the wallet may not "lay completely flat" due to the added thickness of the paper. HOWever, this isn't an issue as the slightest amount of external pressure - from the cloth of one's pocket - will be more than enough to keep the wallet completely closed/flat. In other words, even with a card in each slot and 20-30 units of paper currency in the center pocket, this wallet is **NOT** a "brick".
Comparisons to a tired 1990's wallet
------------------------------------------------------
The 90's wallet is like a comfortable old shoe, but some slots are so loose that if only one card is in a given slot, that card might slip out. Leather can stretch over time. So guessing the Pianillo will need some Breaking In Time before it can handle two cards per slot or business cards without extra pushing. As my 90's wallet is about 3/4" shorter and 1/4" wider, it would (of course) be WONDERFUL if the Pianillo was about 3/4" shorter and about 1/4"-ish wider. :)
I think I am starting to prefer the metric system... none of this 1/4" or 1/8" nonsense...
5Looks great 1yr laterB Begara, LA, CA; US
I’m not one to leave reviews, and I’ve never actually taken time to feature pictures, but this product has me impressed! I bought this wallet for my husband over a year ago and it still looks brand new! The wallet leather is high quality and durable. The design is sleek and slim, it fits in both jacket pockets and pant pockets.
This is worth the price tag. I plan on purchasing more for gifts, so I’ll update the review after my father has had one for a year. If this little wallet can withstand even a year of the abuse he puts on leather wallets, it’s tougher than nails!
5Excellent Wallet, Excellent ServiceH Vincent, Chicago, Illinos, US
I have to carry a lot of cards for various reasons and don't want a brick in my back pocket. I wanted a nice wallet that I could carry either in my backpack or in a jacket's lapel pocket during the day. A saleswoman at Tiffany's suggested a few stores, but none had what I was looking for so I turned to the web and found Maxwell Scott. I would not hesitate to recommend a Maxwell Scott product to someone looking for a gift for self or others.
Maxwell Scott shipped very promptly and my wallet arrived in 6 business days.
5Classy tall suit walletP Faries, Sheffield, England
I was looking and struggling to find a wallet to store the new plastic English bank notes flat ( they do crease very easily) You get what you pay for and I have not been disappointed with the design and quality of the wallet and the service from Maxwell Scott . I went for the classico in dark chocolaty brown, I love it. The £10 & £5 fit well but the old £20 notes just protrude by a couple of millimeters, this should not be a problem when the new plastic ones are introduced from Feb 20 they are 5 millimeters smaller all round. I look forward to further purchases in the future.
5Exceeds my expectationsA Stevens, PA, United States
Bought this on a whim and can honestly say I can't find a negative thing to say about it.
Fits perfectly in breast pocket(s) of my suit jackets and blazers.

5LOVE this wallet.M Smith, Fairfax VA, United States
Received this as a birthday gift from my fiancee as an early birthday present and as part of her on-going efforts to bring my work wardrobe up to date.
At first I was reluctant to change wallet styles and finally consented to a month long trial and instantly fell in love with it. It's so much nicer not sitting on a bulging wallet during my brutal commute to and from work and all day at the office.
The credit card/id slots allow for easy access and return of cards/id's. More than enough room for cash, and other items like dry cleaning tickets, parking stubs etc.

The wallet itself is fantastic quality, but what amazed me was the service! I had trouble purchasing and getting a delivery quote to Australia, and within a day I had an email asking why I hadn't gone through with purchasing and when I explained what had happened it was fixed almost immediately. With that and the fact this was the fastest thing I have had delivered from the other side of the world ever, I will definitely purchase from Maxwell Scott in future, and recommend to my friends.

5luxury brown dress wallet-Maxwell ScottG Kalberg, Norway
Purchased the dress wallet in brown -this is a nice wallet, the type I prefer overall size is more traditional. Was confused with the description, depending on the colour the wallet was described as a dress wallet, a jacket wallet and a suit wallet all three appear to be the same thing. On receipt, the general outline of how the wallet was made up seemed to be correct although the picture views showed two pockets at the rear whereas mine had one. Didn't bother me but others might be annoyed.

Why Is Our Leather Unique?
About Maxwell-Scott
Becoming the most loved bag brand in the world.
The story of our family-run business began in 2002 with a love for quality, long-lasting products. Our founder, William Forshaw, built Maxwell-Scott on the core pillars of superior durability and impeccable craftsmanship. Since that very day, we’ve made it our mission to bridge the gap between refined leather accessories and lifetime wear.
Inspired by the timeless charm of Italian leather and the classic elegance of British design, we use only the finest full-grain, vegetable-tanned Vachetta leather to craft our products. Our method is simple: honour generations of leather craft and obsess over every last detail.
Our industry-leading 25-year warranty combined with excellent customer service has earned Maxwell-Scott a worldwide reputation for superior durability and authentic quality. With our commitment to excellence extending beyond our product, every leather keepsake is quality-checked, hand-wrapped and delivered with care. You’ll find our dedicated customer care team is on hand to help with any assistance you may need, no matter how big or small.
Attainable luxury, maintaining and exceeding the quality of materials and construction at a reasonable price.
We measure our warranty in decades, not years. Our bags are crafted to the highest standards using the finest Italian materials.
Exclusively Sourced Leathers
Less than 1.5% of Italian tanneries are certified by the Genuine Italian Vegetable-Tanned Leather Consortium, that’s why only we can offer a 25-year warranty.
Bespoke In-House Restoration
We also offer an expert repair service at our atelier for any accidental damage, as we are truly committed to the longevity of our bags.
Tailored Support For You
You’ll always speak to a real person, not a chatbot or AI. Our experienced customer care team will pick up the phone and offer a personal service, for the lifetime of your bag.
An Investment for Life
We build heirlooms to last. After all, classic, sustainable fashion and timeless craftsmanship never goes out of style.
You’ll never fully appreciate the quality of a Maxwell-Scott product until you’ve held one in your hands.
We offer a full 60 day return period, so you can immerse yourself in the rich, Chestnut aroma of your unique, full-grain leather bag before deciding to keep it.
Our Return Process Is Simple
Fill out the form and send back your item, and we’ll process the return right away.
Please Note:
Due to their unique nature, personalised items cannot be returned.
Need Help?
Our experienced customer care team are happy to answer any questions or help with your return.
Two decades have passed, and we are still committed to using our unique, unparalleled Vachetta leather that only one tannery possesses the precise formula to produce. Our prestigious leather is certified by the Genuine Italian Vegetable-Tanned Leather Consortium, a certificate of quality awarded to less than 1.5% of Italian tanneries. By showcasing their trademark and quality assurance, we honour the heritage of skilled artisans.
Finest Full-Grain Vachetta Leather
Often imitated but never matched, our high-quality full-grain Vachetta leather is unrivalled due to three essential components:
1. HIDES - we source only European hides reared in perfect conditions, ensuring tough and durable leather with a quality finish.
2. TANNING PROCESS - we use a natural centuries-old technique of vegetable-tanning which is both organic and sustainable.
3. TANNERY - Our tannery is based in the heart of Tuscany, arguably the best region in the world. It has been awarded countless awards and delivers some of the 1.5% best leather in Italy. These factors combine to yield a premium, durable leather with exceptional visual appeal.
A Unique Patina
As time passes, a captivating patina will develop, subtly transforming its colour and aesthetic as it gracefully weathers the elements, a highly desirable characteristic of pure untreated leather, leaving a legacy of its journey. Unwanted marks and surface scratches can be effortlessly removed due to our slow process of drum-dying the leather all the way through, unlike faster methods of hand and surface dyeing. Our deep, earthy tanned leather is of unparalleled quality, allowing it to retain its natural strength, character, and properties without any alterations or corrections. In contrast, coated full-grain leather loses its appeal as it ages in as little as 12 months.
Sustainably Tanned With Chestnut Trees
We're committed to using a centuries-old technique that has remained unchanged for thousands of years. The process of vegetable tanning requires considerable time and patience, as our hides immerse themselves in drums for 60 days. We’ve always believed that the reward of sustainable, premium leather is worth the wait. With only 10-12% of the world's leather being vegetable-tanned due to quicker and cheaper methods of tanning becoming more prevalent, we are proud to honour the traditions and legacy of authentic leather craft passing the exceptional benefits onto our customers.
Guardians of a Rich Legacy
We honour an authentic approach to tanning leather, using Chestnut extracts to embrace a sustainable and organic method of dyeing, preserving a traditional practice that dates back thousands of years. The deep colour and natural scent of our signature leather are a testament to this ancient technique, enabling wearers to fully immerse themselves in the beauty of nature.
Crafted To Last a Lifetime
The combination of these factors forms a dependable yet timeless work of art, which will accompany you for a lifetime. To demonstrate our confidence, we offer an industry-leading 25-year warranty.
This smart, slimline Italian leather breast wallet has been updated with an RFID-blocking lining to keep your credit card details secure whilst on the move. Designed to slip neatly into the breast pocket of your favourite suit jacket, the Pianillo RFID dress wallet will quickly become your most essential accessory yet. Each luxury Pianillo wallet is handmade in Italy by master craftsmen, who work with only the highest quality full-grain leather hides — after the leatherwork is perfected, this luxury men’s wallet is then lined with pure cotton for the finest finish. If you’re looking for a wallet to accommodate a little more, you’ll love the Pianillo: complete with twelve credit card slots and two hidden pockets behind the credit card sections, the Pianillo also benefits from the main section for your notes and important receipts. The timeless aesthetic and highly functional design of this classic bi-fold wallet makes the Pianillo an ideal gift for any discerning man in your life. To add that extra special touch, don’t forget to take advantage of our bespoke hot-foil embossing service.
At Maxwell Scott, we believe that the key to exuding luxury is to create quality. We achieve the finest quality through our impeccably-sourced leathers...
Our leathers are exclusively full-grain. A term used in the leather industry to define the strongest top layer of the hide, we craft with full grain leather to ensure that our bags and accessories offer the highest durability possible.
Our leathers are sourced from premium, handpicked tanneries in Western Europe, most predominantly from Tuscany, Italy - the epicentre of the leather industry. Maxwell Scott's founder, William, has spent years seeking out the finest leathers in the world from niche and exclusive tanneries to guarantee the highest quality.
We honour the traditional technique of vegetable-tanning to dye our leathers. The industry's most sustainable tanning method, natural tannin extracts are rubbed into the grain of the leather to produce a rich and authentic finish.
We believe in creating leather heirlooms with character. We therefore do not coat our leathers with any synthetic substances. They are stripped bare and exposed to life's elements to develop a unique and desirable patina on the surface of the leather over time.
Due to the first-class quality of our leathers, we offer a 25-year warranty on all our bags and accessories.
