These are 7 years old. I wear them about once a week and I have them shined at work by a guy that uses kiwi wax. Nothing fancy. No expensive products. They seem to be just fine.

I don't think a wallet or umbrella handle uses that much leather. Can probably be cut from the left over hide from shoemaking. Ultimately they'll make whatever a customer is willing to pay for, and I don't know that this leather is better suited to shoes or cases.

Kiwi is solvent based not the product to use on ancient leather. Try Collonil products.
