Eel Skin Wallet
Smooth and Exceptionally Strong Wallet
An eel skin wallet has a silky texture, and is made from supple and incredibly strong leather.
Wallets made from eel skin are popular because of their nice qualities. Eel skin leather has a silky texture, and feels very smooth. Eel skin leather is also tougher than cowhide leather.
Eel skin is durable and nearly trouble free, but here are a few tips to keep your wallet looking its best:
- If it gets wet, it will have a different color - until it dries. Just relax and let it dry.
- When stained with ink, try to gently erase it with a pencil eraser.
- If you get oil on it, apply rubber cement sparingly to the stain. Let it dry, then gently peel it off. You may have to do this more than once.
Eel skin was once believed to demagnetize credit cards, but that myth was disproved.
Contrary to popular belief, eel skin doesn't actually come from eels. Eel skin is made from Pacific Hagfish, a slimy fish which only looks like an eel. Still, who really wants to say "Hagfish skin", right?
Armed with this information, you are certain to entertain your guests at your next cocktail party.
Here's what a few Amazon customers have to say about these wallets.
Nice wallet! I read that eel skin is stronger than leather and becomes softer and more supple with use. This one is attractive looking and should last forever. This product would make a great gift idea.
The skin is so comfortable I wish I had a sofa made from the eel material.
I've had it for over a year and it is holding up like new.
My husband loves it!
I would buy this as a gift for ANY man!!!
