Line Vautrin is one of those archetypally French personalities - others are Cocteau, Piaf and Christian Berard - whose talents are compounded of dreams, poetry, images from the past and a mischievous sense of fun. Since she was five years old, she has, like an alchemist turning base metals into gold, transformed humble materials into miracles of beauty and imagination. Even the war-time scarcity of metals did not stop her; they made invention all the more important. Her career took off from a shop in the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honore and a Louis XV hotel in the Marais, housing her workshops, showroom and apartment, which became a veritable Aladdin's cave.
Like Schiaparelli, Vautrin pioneered designer buttons; but hers were part of a range of jewelry that is utterly unlike anyone else's: made in a variety of substances from gilt bronze to resin, and in forms inspired by ancient Greek coins, medieval folk art, animals, word-games, or, in her extraordinary abstract ensembles, the material itself. From jewelry, her love of handiwork and inventing shapes led her on to sculpture, and finally to an altogether new art-form which she calls "pellimorphoses."
But Line Vautrin is much more than the sum of her inventions: she is a part of history, and her work is sought by museums. This tribute is the first to fix the shifting colors of her life in permanent form. Vautrin herself has contributed a witty autobiographical sketch, and supervised the layout of her pieces in the color plates, while Patrick Mauries supplies a knowledgeable assessment of her work.
An incarnation of the ideal Parisienne, Line Vautrin has been fashioning whimsical, charming objects for decades. Now a new audience has the chance to enter her enchanted world.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Solid wallet. No nonsense.
Color: Black, Color: Black
This Timberland wallet is a straight-up beast. The leather feels premium the second you touch it — not that cheap stiff stuff, but real, rugged leather that actually smells and feels like quality. It’s slim in the pocket but somehow holds everything: cards, cash, ID, no problem. No bulky mess, no awkward pocket bulge. The RFID security is a serious upgrade. Knowing your cards are protected while you move around gives peace of mind you didn’t even know you needed. It’s like having a silent bodyguard for your money. Stitching is clean, edges are solid, and the design is straight classic — masculine, sharp, and built to last. This isn’t a “replace next year” wallet… this is a “break it in and ride with it for years” kind of wallet. If you want something tough, classy, and functional without looking like you’re trying too hard, this is it. Timberland didn’t miss with this one. 🔥 Buy it once. Carry it forever.

Does not block RFID scanners
Does not block RFID scanners. I literally scan my badge into work every day through it. Other than that, they are nice wallets, but only last about 3 years before the leather starts crumbling off. This is the second one I have bought. 2 Stars because they only last about 3 years and does not block RFID scanning as advertised.

2nd time purchase in 7 years.10 stars!
This wallet design is fantastic. Compact, front or back pocket use. Has a ton of storage even though it doesn't look it. Last one lasted 7 years of abuse and use. I ordered 2 in case these never get made again. Grab one, best wallet and real durable leather, not fake leather.
