Hi y'all!

After using classic bifold wallets for the longest time, I switched it up last year and bought a cheap 'modern' alternative instead. The experience I had with it, gave me valuable insight on what works for me and the direction I'd like to explore next. Below you may find what it boils down to:

  • A small volume is required. I don't think I'll consider something bigger than the wallets found below.
  • Card capacity of at least 7 cards. More (to an extent) is better for future-proofing.
  • The bill compartment should 'comfortably' accommodate unfolded bills with size 160 x 77 (in mm).
  • I think I can live with just a small coin compartment.
  • Easy/premium access (and back-insertion) for at least 1 or 2 cards.
  • I love closures to be safe, sound and secure. This doesn't only apply to the wallet as a whole, but also for its compartments.

With the above criteria (and plenty of searching), I found the following wallets (in alphabetical order):

  • Allett Coin Wallet 2.0 (link)
  • EXENTRI Multiwallet (link)
  • The Frenchie Co. Speed Wallet Mini - Aroma Collection (with Essentials Pocket) (link)
  • STUDIUM timik (link)

I would love to hear any feedback on these wallets. Furthermore, I'm more than willing to accept any other suggestions/products. Thanks in advance! Much appreciated!

I've been using a HuMn wallet for as long as I can remember. Two plates and an elastic band holding em together. Infrequently used cards go in between the plates, frequent or important stuff goes on the outer side of one of the plates.

Cheaper than ridge crap, and a bit more flexible as well.

I hadn't heard of them yet. Looks cool. Thanks for mentioning it.

Though, I wasn't able to find any of their offering that provides a solution to both:

  • carrying coins
  • fitting/inserting bills unfolded

Do you happen to know if they sell any wallets that satisfy both requirements?

ah nope to both, sorry, the design inherently doesn't really allow for that

No worries, fam. Thanks for chiming in!
