Review on ๐Ÿ‘œ Minimalist and Stylish Bellroy Leather Sleeve Wallet in Timeless Black Shade by Jason Havens

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Guilty! You should have read the description!

Beware of eaters! The dream of squeezing a lot into a small space blinded me so much that I missed the not-so-fine print in the description. The keywords are "for minimalists who rarely wear". This wallet is exactly - too small - as advertised. If you have multiple accounts, your driver's license, and half a dozen credit cards or equivalent AND NOTHING ELSE, this wallet might be for you. However, accessing cash isn't nearly as easy as with a traditional wallet - you have to dig folded and nested bills out of the internal recesses of each compartment. This makes quick tips for taxi drivers, porters, etc. shockingly inconvenient. Two credit cards (or one and your driver's license) are easily accessed, but removing any other card requires pulling on a leather tether that delivers ALL the remaining cards to your hand, requiring a bit of fiddling to access the card you want. I don't use it, but I'm too embarrassed to return it to Revane. I must know someone who can use this thing!

Pros
  • Ideal for 4-8 cards and folded banknotes
Cons
  • Style 90
