A Legacy in Bronze

The Heritage Card-Keeper is a relic of the old world, forged from bronze, the metal of antiquity, of warriors, and of civilizations that shaped history. This is no ordinary bronze, but a composition akin to that used in the great cathedrals for their bells, chosen for its endurance and its voice. Strike it with your nail and you will hear its clear ring, a sound that lingers like an echo through time. Its design draws from Armenia’s deep heritage, where grapevine motifs have long symbolized life, abundance, and resilience. As bronze darkens and deepens with age, so too does this piece evolve, carrying the marks of its journey with you. It is not simply held. It is lived with. A quiet testament to craftsmanship, heritage, and enduring strength.

A wallet is one of the few objects that never leaves your side. It is felt with every transaction, carried through every moment. More than storage, it becomes part of your daily ritual. The Heritage Bronze Card-Keeper is created not only to hold cards but to hold presence.

The bronze body is joined with a strap of hand-crafted goatskin, chosen for its resilience and longevity. Each strap is cut, finished, and tested by our master leather crafters, then signed by the Master of Leathers. The strap is secured with a buckle designed by AVRA and forged from the same bronze as the Keeper itself. This mechanism was created to offer both elegance and reliability, introducing a subtle tension that holds your cards securely in place.

To adjust, simply undo the buckle as you would a watch strap, setting it to the hole that brings the right balance for the number of cards you carry. Whether you hold many or few, the band keeps them fastened, ensuring that even if one card is drawn, the rest remain secure. The Heritage Bronze Card-Keeper carries up to ten cards and folded notes without bulk, adapting seamlessly to both the minimalist and the essentialist.

Each piece is hand-forged by our silversmiths, engraved with a unique serial number, and verified by the Master Silversmith. That number is drawn from the House’s private Ledger, then entered permanently as proof of its creation. The Keeper of the Ledger confirms every engraving, ensuring that each Heritage Card-Keeper holds its rightful place in AVRA’s history.

Bronze does not fade as other materials do. When polished, it glows with the warmth of rose gold, and when left untouched, it darkens into a patina that cannot be replicated, a surface that tells the story of its bearer. Every mark, every softened engraving becomes part of a singular history.

Every creation of the House is made to endure, to gain character rather than lose value. If the day comes when you choose to part with it, we will take it back, for excellence deserves to live again.
