The Zaharoff Omphalion Collection

The center from which every journey begins.

An object carried close not merely to hold one’s possessions, but to accompany one’s passage through the world.

For the world traveller! Designed with a mind for simplicity and storage, the Zaharoff passport holder is a hybrid of a traditional men's bifold and passport cover. The holder makes it easy for you to remove and put back your passport when needed and also has ten slots to accommodate all of your credit, debit, loyalty and business cards. There are two cash slots where you can slide in one or both covers of your passport or currency. Comes in a box with dust bag for easy care and storage. 4 inches x 5 1/4 inches folded.

The Omphalion pattern, the circular design seen printed, was inspired from the floor of the Hagia Sophia where, historically, it was thought to mark the spot where Byzantine emperors were crowned during the coronation ceremony.

An omphalos dates back to Ancient Greece, the word ὀμφᾰλός (omphalós) means "navel". Among the Ancient Greeks, it was a widespread belief that this was the center of the world.
