The Jost logo is embossed on a leather patch at the upper corner. Ideal for minimalist travel or daily carry.

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (broad reach), Poshmark (fashion focused), or Depop (urban/indie aesthetic). High-end consignment sites like The RealReal may accept it if leather is restored.
Selling Tips
