Card Pocket (Small Leather Zipper Card Holder Wallet, Holds 4-15 Cards, Coin Pouch, Folded Note Storage)

The Bellroy Card Pocket is a fantastic minimalist wallet. I purchased the black leather variant. The fine natural grain (vegetable tanned) leather is soft and the structure of the wallet is well crafted. The stylized metal Bellroy owl branding is also a nice touch. The black model is nicely complemented with a dark brown zipper pull and a brown leather/cloth interior lining. The brown leather is used as an accent color and the cloth interior lining appears robust. The pattern on the cloth is stylish and the colorway is muted. Obvious attention was given to the interior to complement the exterior without distracting from the overall design esthetic. Pulling the zipper open will reveal two interior pockets on either side of the wallet. A single card slot sown into on one side and a more generously tailored cash pocket on the other. The single card slot is best reserved for a seldom used card - for example an insurance card – as this slot is purposely secure. The leather behind the cash pocket side is embossed with a message from Bellroy and a small mini sim card slot. Note that the interior cash pocket can also be used to carry more than one card, like a driver’s license. Thus offering the flexibility to stow cash alongside additional cards in the center portion of the wallet. As of this review I currently carry 6 cards and have 5 (US) bills*. The wallet measures approximately 4” in length, 2-3/4” in width and 5/8” thick (that thickness may vary based on individual use and capacity). *You will need to quarter the cash. The Bellroy Card Pocket offers a very compact design that lends itself well to carrying a fair number of cards (and cash) within a small footprint; making it a very good front pocket wallet. Price for the wallet is certainly higher than anything that you would find at Fossil; however, it’s also much cheaper than almost everything inside a Coach store. I find the Australian design and Indian craftsmanship of the Card Pocket to be fair and reasonable for the price point. Lastly packaging for the wallet owns a similar creative flare. The heavy card stock envelope has been carefully folded, cut and stitched together with the same care as the wallet itself. Trust me when I say that you’ll want to repurpose the packaging. I could not be more pleased with my Bellroy Card Pocket. It’s a uniquely well-crafted EDC item. Cheers.

Was using an elastic band that had a pen holder made by Naolab for years. Was perfect. But like all elastic bands, they eventually go bad. Couldnt find anything similar. Unfortunately when I looked to buy another, their website is gone. Other elastic bands on the market are sewn in a way that all the extra fabric is on the inside of the band creating unnecessary bulk. So in my search for a wallet this, bellroy fit the bill perfectly. It’s small and compact. No extra material hanging out within the wallet to create extra bulk. The leather seems thin, but again this works for me as I don’t like the bulk of traditional thick leather wallets, making this wallet nice and thin in the pocket. I only ever carry 5-6 cards and this works great for that. Has two side sleeves that work perfect for holding a few folded bills. Too small for a fisher pen but found a smaller sized pen that fits. The zipper is smooth and i like the L zip style as it opens up enough to get anything you need, but also prevents things from falling out compared to a full zip wallet. I hope this wallet from bellroy never gets discontinued. Totally recommend for those who like minimal wallets

I came back to review this product. 730 days of rough use. 10 cards plus coins plus cash. Interior still clean no threads are broken. Good as new. Exterior random scratches (understandable), threads still intact. Zipper works like new. But the zipper puller i see a very small rubber like thing started to fall off which doesn't matter at all. But zipper puller is still strong. Color of wallet i would say still same. I don't find the color faded. But that owl logo has some sort of color change. And 2023 i bought it for really low price. This is my everyday go to wallet. I love this baby. Quality is really good. Fits in ur pocket. Easy to hold. I got lot of compliments with this. Also when you keep the cash make sure you fold it properly and keep inside the given slot. If they are not kept properly there is chance zipper can get locked/blocked by the currency. Well you have 10-15 cards. You dont carry lot of cash. But u like to keep a 100 and some quarter. Go for this.

After almost a year of daily driving this wallet, it still looks like new. There is a little wear, mostly a bit of the coloring on the Bellroy stamp has rubbed off, but it's as functional as it was when I bought it. Overall, this is a very practical wallet that suits my needs quite well. Everything can be organized and my cards are all clean and dirt free! My only complaint is that the very outside slots are hard to access without lipping the zipper out of the way, but those aren't used much so it's a worthwhile compromise for the rest of the design.

This wallet is the final step in the evolution of what I need in a wallet. I started as a kid with a standard billfold in my back pant pocket. The wallet just before this one was a slightly larger than credit card-sized non-woven fabric container with only a top zip. My return to a wallet made of leather and the length of the zipper (more than just one edge) are the two qualities I like most. I can get to what I need. The depth of the wallet is somewhat flexible, but is still small enough to force me to limit what I carry. That moderated size looks good in my front left pant pocket.

Top quality product! I was pleasantly surprised with the small size of the wallet and the fact that it can fit my cards, some cash, has a stash for emergency cash, and my second SIM card ( for when I travel ). There's a point in your life when you realize that what you wear creates an immediate opinion from others about you. It determines how you are perceived in a business meeting, at the bank, at a restaurant, when on a date or when meeting new people. A wallet is one of the few accessories a man can use ( plus a watch, plus glasses if needed ) with out overdoing it with jewelry, or bracelets or things guys shouldn't really wear when older. This wallet pushed me to sliming down my 16+ card wallet down to 8 plus cash while still having a rather small footprint. My recommendation is to definitely get a good slim wallet, as it shows that you are in control and organized. Not sure if this is the one for you but if you need more cards on you that most slims allow you to have, this is a really good option. I really hope this review is helpful for those on the fence of purchasing this, another bellroy, or another pricy wallet. Us men are normally price conscious and bellroys are not really that cheap, but once you have it, and knowing that you won't need to look at other wallets for a number of years is freeing. Like buying a good couch, or a good TV, you're just happy with the purchase. Cheers mate!

It was ok and the description was fair. However I did return it. It was not exactly what I needed. The zipper subtracted from the usable size whic was important to me. The price was good.

Great size for holding money and cards
