Discover GTO London, a beautiful and elegant British brand for accessories. It is a very original brand inspired by GTO Engineering. They propose an exquisite collection of leather wallets, cufflinks, key fobs and pins. This week we reviewed the Dino Panna wallet. Follow the details.
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 idea of GTO London is to transpose this unique experience into a precious object and a daily companion: The Dino Panna wallet. When we open the elegant black box, our eyes have sparkles on the first seconds of this amazing object.
The delicate detail of the leather stitching in the driver’s seat has been faithfully replicated for a distinctive finish that is both classy and immediately recognisable as pure Ferrari.
Here are the different specifications:
- Cream leather exterior and black interior
- 95mm x 115mm closed size
- Without coin pocket – 9 credit card slots, currency compartment with divider, two receipt slots and ID compartment
- With coin pocket – coin pocket with popper, 6 credit card slots, currency compartment with divider, two receipt slots and ID compartment

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.
This model recommended price is £215.00 which makes a very fair price for such a piece of leather art. There are also other colors available like the Dino Nero (Black leather) and the Dino Naturale (natural leather).
