The Counsel — Leather Card Case

Price$115.00
Color:Warm Brown

Coming soon — tell me when it lands

One note about this piece when it is available. Nothing else. Prefer to inquire?

The Counsel is a slim full-grain leather business card case for lawyers, made for the moment you open a case in front of someone — a client introduction in a law office, networking, the first meeting where a business card still does work a LinkedIn request can't.

  • Material: full-grain, vegetable-tanned leather
  • Opening: folds open like a book, with card slots on either side of the center fold
  • Profile: slim; built to be watched while it's used
  • Origin: handcrafted in Kolkata, India
  • Colors: Black and Warm Brown

A business card case is meant to be opened in front of someone, not rummaged through. The Counsel keeps to the essentials — enough capacity for a stack of your own cards, nothing added that would slow down the motion of handing one across a table.

Deciding between this and a daily-carry wallet? Read Card Case, or Card Wallet? for the full comparison.

Built for presentation, not daily carry. If you need to hold cash, ID, and everyday cards rather than present one card at a time, see The Retainer instead.

Questions we are asked

How many cards does it hold? Enough for a stack of your own cards. It is built to present one card at a time, not to carry a wallet's worth.

Will it hold cash or ID? No. It is built for presentation, not daily carry. For cash, ID and everyday cards, see The Retainer.

Can it be monogrammed? No. We do not monogram, emboss or engrave any piece we sell.

Is it a good gift for a lawyer? It suits a swearing-in, a first job at a firm or a move to a new practice — any moment that comes with new cards to hand out.

When will it be available? The Counsel is in manufacture; the House Collection is expected in mid-November. This page takes your email, and we will write when it arrives.

What arrives. The card case, tissue-wrapped and sealed with our mark.

The Warm Brown photographs show our first sample. Black photography will be added when the first pieces arrive.

Barrister & Bespoke House Collection — designed to our specification, made for us alone, and named for the terms of art of the practice. A house piece carries our name because we are answerable for it: the leather, the hardware, and the decisions behind both are ours to defend rather than a maker's to explain. Our Curated Collection and our Essentials are marked separately throughout the shop.

Warranty. This Product carries the Barrister & Bespoke Five-Year Limited Warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Full terms are stated in our Warranty Policy.
