[4-Year-Old and 1-Year-Old]

Our favorites are m+'s Millefoglie 2 in Navy and Cento 2 in Ortensia. While they're still changing over time, I'll share their current state after continued use.

The Millefoglie 2 Navy has developed a smooth, elegant sheen over the course of four years. While it was originally a deep navy, the oils and sweat from daily use have naturally blended in, deepening the color over time to a shade closer to black. The Millefoglie 2 features a beautiful, boxy shape, reminiscent of a small notebook cover, and its sharply defined corners lend it a sophisticated, appealing look. My husband, drawn to its design, began using it. He likes to carry plenty of cash, coins, and cards, and dislikes using things cautiously, worrying about them losing their shape—a laid-back personality, to put it kindly. The shape has changed considerably, developing a rounded fullness, and it seems to have become a wallet that offers a glimpse into their character and lifestyle. I imagine some people keep it beautifully in its refined shape, and others who use it freely, letting it take on their own unique form. Despite opening and closing it countless times daily, there's no sign of the grommet holes fraying or the stitching unraveling. In fact, the leather's softening seems to improve how it grips the fastener, suggesting it will last for years to come.

The Cento 2 is in Ortensia. This one is also gradually developing a sheen and mellowing into a more subdued color. While it has picked up a few scratches here and there, it's only been about a year, so you can sense it's still in the process of changing, with the small marks likely blending into the overall look. It seems perfect for owners who carry multiple sets of their own business cards and receive many others, and who travel frequently and want to keep everything consolidated for easy management. The visible thickness changes depending on how many cards are stored, but the leather doesn't stretch out even with a large quantity. Reducing the number of cards returns it to a compact, smart card holder. The flap closes by tucking it in, so the leather moves quite a bit, but there's no worry about wear or stitching issues. The opening and closing action softens it, making it even easier to use.

The Millefoglie 2 and Cento 2 by m+ develop a shape that seems to reflect the owner themselves, the more they are used, deepening the attachment. Crafted from high-quality tannin-tanned leather and meticulously sewn by artisans, you can enjoy the process of its color evolving into a calm hue and gradually molding to your hand. You'll feel a sense of unity with the leather as it envelops items like money and business cards, and your hand envelops it. We hope this serves as a helpful reference for those considering these pieces.
