What material is the Norwegian Compact Purse made from?

The Norwegian Compact Purse is crafted from full-grain Norwegian leather — a naturally robust hide known for its fine, tight grain and exceptional durability. Full-grain leather retains the complete surface of the hide, which means it develops a rich patina over time, growing more characterful with every use. The interior lining is a smooth, hardwearing material that keeps cards organised and protected. All hardware is precision-finished in either silver (Black) or gold (Tan) to complement the leather colourway.

How many cards can the Norwegian Compact Purse hold?

The Norwegian Compact Purse is designed to hold 8 cards across its dedicated card slots — split across both interior panels for balanced, organised carry. Two note compartments provide space for cash and receipts, making it a slim yet fully self-contained everyday essential. All card slots are precision-cut so cards sit firmly without stretching the leather over time. RFID-secure technology is integrated throughout, ensuring your contactless cards are protected from unauthorised scanning at all times — whether you are commuting, travelling or simply going about your day.

How should I care for the Norwegian Compact Purse?

To keep your Norwegian Compact Purse in the best possible condition, we recommend regularly applying a high-quality leather conditioner to nourish and protect the hide. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, heat, and moisture, which can dry out and damage full-grain leather over time. If the purse gets wet, allow it to dry naturally away from any heat source. Store it in the dust bag provided when not in use to prevent scratching and maintain its shape. With the right care, your Norwegian Compact Purse will age beautifully and last for many years.

Does the Norwegian Compact Purse offer RFID protection?

Yes — the Norwegian Compact Purse features integrated RFID-secure technology throughout its interior lining. This provides a reliable electromagnetic shield that blocks unauthorised scanning of your contactless bank cards, credit cards, and ID documents. RFID-enabled devices can read card data from a distance of up to several metres, making RFID protection an important feature for daily use in crowded environments such as airports, public transport, and busy urban areas. The RFID lining in your Norwegian Compact Purse works silently and requires no activation — your cards are always protected.

EXTERIOR

FULL GRAIN LEATHER

Full-grain leather is the gold standard, because it remains untouched by sanding, shaving, or splitting, it retains the hide’s original strength and character.

At Jekyll & Hide, we favour this uncompromising material because it doesn’t just last; it matures. Every mark and natural variation tells a story, developing a rich patina that makes every piece uniquely yours.
