5 Personalised Oyster Card!
I bought this oyster card holder for my bus pass I decided to have it personalised with my name embossed in copper on the full-grain tan leather if you decide to have it personalised you get the first six letters in the price of the personalised oyster cardholder any extra letters you will have to pay a pound extra for each letter. It is not the cheapest oyster card holder but you are paying for quality. Maxwell-Scott also gives you a 25-year warranty against any manufacturing faults highly recommended and will use this seller again when I need a new wallet. Excellent Customer Service.
5 Beautiful and quick suprise for my Hubby
Thank you so much, I can't believe how quick the delivery was! So happy and absolutely love it! Thanks so much..hoping hubby will love it too! Thanks again.
5 Looks and feels good. But can't say about the leather quality.
I have been carrying my ID and a couple of essential cards in this cardholder. It looks and feels robust, but the quality of leather could not be properly assessed. When a high quality (full-grain) leather is used, the underside of the leather is usually exposed, which serves as a tool to check by customers. Even the inner sleeves are made of bonding (cementing/glueing) two thin leather sheets together so that the underside of the grain is nowhere to be seen. This makes it look professional, but over time, the sheets tend to separate, making it look cheaper and messy. Another drawback is that the plastic sheet used to display the ID is of very cheap quality. I have seen better plastic or mesh in cheaper ID holders; this could be improved. Nevertheless, it smells exactly like one of my leather briefcases purchased in Florence, Italy; which might speak of its quality. Verdict: For this price, I would expect to see the inside of the grain and not prefer to have too much bonded (cemented) leather.
5 Expensive, but quality item
I was in the market for a Leather Oyster cardholder, however on reading the reviews on virtually each and everyone I soon came to the conclusion that a vast number of cardholders were of pretty piss poor quality. So I decided on one which wasn't cheap and within an hour the mesh which held my card was ripped. Talk about guttered. Having learnt my lesson the hard way, I fell upon my second option which at the time was far too expensive. It arrived today, and boy did I make a huge mistake in not purchasing this first. It simply is in another class of quality. and there is no doubt that this one will last. (Well for a start they haven't bothered with mesh) It arrived in a gold plastic jiffy bag recorded delivery. On opening the bag, the holder was expertly wrapped in Maxwell Scott headed wrapping paper (So if you are buying this as a present, they save you all the work) On opening that you find a stout black cardboard box, where inside wrapped again in wrapping paper is the most luxurious leather cardholder you will find. It really does extrude quality. The pictures just do not do it justice. Me, I am happy as Larry. My third Maxwell Scott purchase and I am pretty sure it won't be my last.

Can't fault it
5 Position of Personalisation.
Great gift and just what my daughter wanted for her birthday but we were disappointed with where the embossed silver initials were placed on the product. They were placed at the top and would have been nicer if they had been at the bottom.

OUR SIGNATURE LEATHER
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.
