Behind the Names: The Alexander Bifold Wallet

At Grit Mercantile, we name our products to honor ancestors, family and friends who have displayed true grit in their lives.

Grit: courage and determination despite difficulty. (Cambridge Dictionary)

Without further ado, we present the story of Alexander.

The Alexander Wallet is named in honor of Amanda’s grandfather who served as a tail gunner and mechanic in the Air Force during World War II and the Korean War. An anti-aircraft bullet once ripped the motor oil line of his Liberator airplane. Through grit, he carried on, earning the National Defense Service Medal, Distinguished Flying Cross, Air Medal, and the American Campaign Medal.
