Navy is the classic for people who like black but want something a little more their own. It is dark enough for an office and a suit, yet it shows its colour clearly in daylight. wulet makes six pieces in navy, from a slim bifold to a passport holder.
What navy leather looks like
Our navy is a deep blue with a hint of grey, close to the colour of a well-worn navy blazer or a city sky late in the evening. Indoors it can pass for black; in sunlight the blue comes forward. The mood is calm and confident, a little more modern than black.

How navy ages and how to care for it
Navy ages quietly. It keeps its depth well and gains a soft shine where it is handled. Over years, folds and corners may soften slightly in tone, which gives it a lived-in look rather than a tired one.
- Wipe with a soft, barely damp cloth and let it air dry.
- Use a colourless conditioner; a brown-toned one can muddy the blue.
- Keep it out of strong sun for long hours, as blues can fade in direct light.
- After a wet day in the monsoon, empty it and let it dry open, away from heat.
