The way they work has nothing to do with chemistry, it is just a Faraday's cage blocking radio waves.

Lots of chemicals in leather, though. Veg tan leather has fewer than chrome tan leather. Most consumer leather wallets are chrome tan. The residual chromium has no effect on radio waves though.
A shield is glued between the various layers of leather or whatever material the wallet is made from.
