GTO London was established in 2010, founded and directed by Victoria Lyon, who having grown up surrounded by exquisite classic cars had the inspiration and drive to begin this collection. It evolved out of a passion for classic automobiles, Ferraris in particular. Each design owes its distinguishing features to the elegant interiors and components that grace these glamorous automobiles.

The Dino Panna

Inspired by the Ferrari Dino, one of the most classic and elegant cars, this handmade leather wallet links directly to the timeless interior of the car. What makes the experience of an exceptional car exceptional is exactly the holistic feeling by being inside. The famous leather seats represent quality of details, precious materials and luxury design.

The entire object is a journey. There are a few details that are simply beautiful. From the construction of the wallet itself, towards the interior design and the little important finishing, make this wallet an amazing daily companion. Let’s start on the outside.

The leather is amazing. Every single stitching of the leather shows the know-how of GTO workshops. The lines are perfect and the leather work is very edgy. The metal GTO London Steering wheel finishes the wallet as a witness of quality and design.

Inside, the construction is as practical as ingenious. We tried the reference with the coin pocket. Love it! In a compact yet complete model, you can place all your cards, your coins and paper money. All in a compact format that fits perfectly a men’s pocket.
