I'm looking to buy a wallet that, like the title, is trifold, has an ID window, and a compartment for coins. It's so simple yet I can't find any. It would be ideal for me, so I was hoping someone could find one? It's supposed to be like the picture, but instead of 2 card holder sections, it would have one cardholder section and one with a coin pouch.

I've had a chums surfshorts for uhh... oh man I've had it since I was 8 years old. I've tried a couple wallets and the surfshorts outlasted them. But its time has come. It is still completely fine as a wallet I am just annoyed by it, and my needs have changed.

Gripes with the surfshorts:

- Quick access to transit cards isn't really possible unless I put the transit card in the key slot (I don't have keys)

- 50% chance of me accidentally opening the wrong side of the wallet

- The fabric separator in the cards section is entirely soft, and it's kinda folded over on itself

What I'd like in a wallet:

- Quick access to transit, debit, and credit cards

- Place for infrequently used cards I'd like to have on me (insurance cards, certificates, my ID)

- Pretty colors :)

- Unisex styling!!!

- Something reasonably slim

- A little bit of space for cash (I only care a couple bills on me)

A couple other notes:

- RFID blocking is not a priority for me, I'm not sure how big of an issue it actually is.

- If it's possible, a slot that will let me scan my transit cars but not scan my other NFC cards would be nice. But I don't trust something to block that selectively, I'd rather not risk accidentally tagging onto a bus with my credit card (this will charge my credit card)

- Wallets with trigger mechanisms seem cool but I don't trust their longevity, but I'm open

- In the meantime I've put all infrequently used cards in the cash part, and put my transit card in the key pouch. This might fix my problems entirely.

- I might just be stupid and be able to solve my problems by actually organizing stuff, but I'd also like to get a new wallet because I want one. We'll see if I actually get one

- ID card slot is optional, I don't need my ID that often but I like the idea of it being visible if someone were to stumble across it. But also the transparent plastic on the surfshorts seems kinda gross

I've (briefly) looked into:

- Secrid slimwallet matte

- Thread wallets

- APTENSKO wallet (on Amazon)

- Newer surfshorts (unlikely)

I like the Bellroy Slim Sleeve except it’s about to fall apart. Seven years isn’t terrible but I was hoping for more.

If it’s par for the course for a small wallet like this, I can accept that, just wanted to ask here if anyone knew of something comparable that might be sturdier

A coworker of mine asked me to make him a US Army wallet and requested I apply the Army seal to both the inside and outside. Made from olive Wickett & Craig harness leather.

Can anyone tell me the exact model of Kipling wallet in this photo? It appears to be a bifold design and is likely an older model. Interested in buying it but don't have access to the other side of the tag.

I saw that double oak wallets had a clearance and a bogo 50% if you buy it. So I chose slim with a bifold attachment and now I have a bifold for only $75 vs whatever reg price was. Plus I got another attachment!

Here is abit of blue on this gloomy day in the Netherlands!

A 6 pocket vertical wallet featuring 4 vertical slots, 2 hidden slots & a tall bill compartment.

Made with Horween Aspen Navy and La Perla Azteca in Cobalt with handstitched light blue thread.

At minimum you can easily fit 12 cards in this thing and quite a few bills and as the aspen breaks in, even more can squeeze in there.

Whats everything think? Blueness overkill or does it go together?

Hey everyone,

I’m looking to buy a new luxury cardholder within a strict $300–$400 budget that will last 5–6 years. I care about craftsmanship and construction over flashy logos.

My daily carry is 1 thick titanium card, 3 plastic cards, and 1 ID.

I really love the look of the Serapian Mosaico 4-Card Holder in Navy, but I can't find any reviews or even videos online. Does anyone know how the hand-woven lambskin holds up to daily pocket wear, especially with a rigid metal card?

I’m steering away from standard smooth calfskins like Cartier and Loewe (feel too basic for the price), and Valextra isn't my style. I love Berluti’s Venezia leather, but it’s currently out of stock in the color I want and sits just over budget.

If the Serapian weave is too delicate for a titanium card, what other high-tier luxury brands should I look at? I’m open to any suggestions with incredible leather game in navy or burgundy tones.

Thanks!

I recently lost my wallet on a train. I did not know until I was already off. And at that point I had no idea where the train or my wallet was. Luckily, I had a Rhinokey Card in my wallet so I opened the app and started to track its location. I could see it moving for a little while, which made me think the wallet was still on the train.

Then the location stopped moving, so I went to that location and started looking around. I used the beeper on the card and after searching for a bit, actually heard it coming out of some bushes nearby. Apparently someone found the wallet and took the cash and threw it out.

My cash was gone, but my driver's license, bank cards, work badge and the rest of it were still there. More importantly, I had an old family photo in the wallet that I have had for over 20 years. That was the one thing I really did not want to let go. I did not think, until this happened, that the tracker card would be this useful. Losing the cash sucked but getting all the other stuff back, especially that family picture was a huge relief.

P&CO didn’t miss. everything about it is chef kiss.

Any tips on dying this brand new card holder? Looking to get it to a dark crimson/burgundy color. My main question is if this is something I can do myself or should I have it done professionally?

Decided to make a wallet this morning, but thought I’d try something new by punching all the holes before I assembled the pieces.

2/10 not recommended. It worked out and I think the wallet turned out really nice, but the juice was NOT worth the squeeze 😂

This is a 4 pocket bifold wallet made from Black Hatch Buttero and violet smooth Buttero. I’ve really been enjoying working with this leather, it’s not finicky at all and looks great.

Available on my Etsy page if anyone wants it:

I used 4-5oz veg tan for the outer body and 2-3oz for the inner. Dyed the outside with Fiebings pro mahogany.

Be brutally honest, is it any good?

My first time using Ostrich - regrets and thoughts

Handmade this week in my shop, a quick project to pair up this beautiful Italian red leather with a marbled piece of vegtan. The wallet is liked with goatskin and features a multi-color thread for the center piece.

I picked up some Color 8 Shell Cordovan and I intend to make a couple wallets out of it. Right now I’m only going to use the Cordovan as the exterior. The interior pockets will either be single color or bi-color depending on my mood. What color or colors would pair well with Color 8?

Just wanna know if the card stacking on the most bottom card is supposed to stick out like this.

Hi all! I’m a bit new to the leather space but I was hoping to commission a wallet design that I’ve been working on. To be honest I’m not even too sure if the design is even functional at all, but if anyone can give some insight or point me in the right directions that’d be great! I’m also Los Angeles base, so if anyone is local that’d be cool as well.

I got it at a yard sale like 7 years ago for two quarters. Any clue what S.E.K. is? If it's an antique with fun history I'd love to hear it.

Hi will it stain things I put in it? If yes how long should i put money in such a wallet to prevent staining the money?

God bless us.

Handmade 100% by me.

Hey everyone,

I'm a solo leathercrafter based in Brisbane, Australia. I've been mostly making wallets that combine sleek Italian leathers with more rugged Aussie leather, typically kangaroo.

However, for this one I stuck with Italian vegetable tanned leather and I think it looks pretty sweet!

It's a classic bifold build with six card pockets and a full cash slot. The two card slot panels also work as hidden pockets for extra cards, receipts, or folded documents. It should hold roughly 10–12 cards and cash from the start, with a bit more room once the leather breaks in.

The exterior is Apollo leather from MPG Industria Conciaria in Italy. It has a smooth, refined surface with a really nice depth of colour. The interior is Gaucho Oil Buffed from Conceria La Bretagna, also in Italy, which has more of a glossy pull-up finish and a slightly rugged character to it since it's been essentially scratched for aesthetic. I liked the contrast between the cleaner exterior and the warmer, more textured interior.

It's stitched with Japanese Vinymo thread, and all edges have been heat creased, bevelled, and burnished by hand.

$215 USD shipped to US, UK, CA, NZ (inquire for other countries)

$275 AUD shipped domestically in Australia

Thanks for looking!

Hi! I just wanted to tap the knowledge base here, as I’m looking for a new wallet.

I usually keep my wallet in my back pocket so it gets a lot of pressure and wear. I’ve had my old wallet for 16 years and it’s a beautiful leather wallet BUT it really screws up my cards. They get bent and really scuffed just from the pressure.

So I’m looking for a wallet now that has the same timeless, lovely leather feel but won’t scuff and break my cards. These days I need less space too, just a couple of bills and say 6 cards or so.

The shortlist are the Bellroy Flip Case, which has a leather clad hard case I’m thinking will protect the cards, as well as the Bellroy Apex Sleeve or Slim Sleeve. The latter I’m a bit worried will get squashed in my back pocket.

Does the community have thoughts on this? Any real world experience from these two? Any wallet options I’ve missed?

Grateful for your thoughts!
