CORAGGIO St. George Bi-Fold Leather Wallet

This bi-fold leather wallet belongs to our Coraggio collection, and features our St. George design.

These wallets feature Catholic quotes and designs, and are great to carry all of your credit cards, gift cards, cash, and more! They feature one large open pocket for cash, and six smaller pocket inserts for credit cards. Both colored wallets measure 9.5" wide when opened, and stand 3.75" tall. Due to the type of leather, our cacao colored wallets are roughly 1/2" thick when folded, and our stone colored wallets are roughly 3/4" thick when folded.  Crafted from 100% soft, genuine leather, each one comes in differing shades and patterns - no two are the same. They are designed and engraved in our Steubenville, OH workshop.

Hand-crafted in Honduras, these leather wallets were created by the individuals at Lazarus Artisan Goods. Through this ministry, men and women are taught to make high quality goods while receiving sustainable wages, health-care, and an education. Their goal is to not only help their workers financially, but to teach them to find dignity and purpose in all that they do. Both we at Catholic to the Max and Mission Lazarus thank you for helping support our teams of talented individuals.

[Coraggio Design - St. George]

Across history, culture, and continents, humanity has woven inspiring tales of brave heroes defeating dragons, and St. George is no different.

Originally a Roman soldier in the year 303, St. George gave himself over to the Roman emperor to die for his faith. His story was later adapted in the 1200’s in a book called “The Golden Legend.” In this story, he stops a dragon from terrorizing a kingdom, and the people of the kingdom convert to Christianity. The dragon is likely a metaphor for paganism, which was slowly dying out as more and more people converted to the Christian faith.

Whether or not St. George really did slay a dragon, his story still remains as an inspiring beacon of Christian bravery. Now get out there and start slaying your own dragons!

Once, as Pope St. John Paul II battled illness, a Capuchin friar stood below his window with a fist in the sky and shouted, "Coraggio! (Courage!)" Inspired by this story, we at Catholic to the Max wanted to create a product line devoted to inspiring others to have courage and spark real life conversations about Christ. With this in mind, we've created a new set of designs that are Catholic, engaging, but also a little unclear. By stirring curiosity in others, our hope is when someone asks you about your shirt, journal, bracelet, etc, you have the opportunity and courage to proclaim the message of Jesus. You can learn more about the Coraggio brand by visiting our new website: livecoraggio.com.

*Please Note: Due to the handcrafted nature of these leather items, our partnering supplier Lazarus Artisan Goods, may brand their logo variously across products. Our picture mockups show the most relevant branded variation, but may be subject to change.
