My comprehesive review of this Air Tag capable little wallet.
Firstly, here’s some information you might find helpful:Q: Does it fit an AirTag?A: Short answer: Yes. Long answer: Yes, but with some caveats.I purchased an AirTag holder card from Amazon by "PEUTIER" because I didn’t want the AirTag to fall out. When I placed the AirTag holder card in the external card slot, it caused an issue where the "pull tab" wouldn’t return to its position after being used to retrieve cards. This meant I had to manually push the cards back down to reset it.To avoid this, I opted to place the AirTag in the notes section of the wallet alongside my cash. This works well, there’s no significant bulge, and it doesn’t interfere with accessing the notes. However, using the AirTag holder card is crucial to prevent the AirTag from being pulled out accidentally.Q: What happens if you overfill the wallet?A: Overfilling prevents you from pulling the cards out easily and stops the elastic pull tab from returning properly.Q: Can you fit coins in the note section?A: Yes, but it’s worth noting that this might cause impressions to be left on the leather due to bending. While it’s a viable option, it’s best suited for carrying only a small number of coins.Before I give my review, sharing my use case may help you decide if my opinions and experience are relevant to your needs. I carry 3 cards in the main slot (one with raised information and two without), 3–5 notes of various denominations, and no coins. I also use the outside card slot for gift cards (when I have them), I purchased this wallet for £25.99.Now, onto the wallet itself:The build quality is great. It’s made from smooth, nice-quality leather, and the stitching is consistent and well-done. While there are a few minor visual scuffs on the leather, they’re only noticeable under angled light and not visible unless you’re actively looking for them. Overall, it’s a sleek, attractive wallet.The size is great, it fits easily in the palm of your hand and doesn’t bulk out your pocket. £10 and £5 notes fit perfectly in the note pocket with little to no overhang, while £20 notes extend slightly beyond the edge by around 5mm.I feel confident that this wallet will hold up well over time, but I’ll be sure to update this review if anything changes. For now, there are no loose stitches, which suggests it’s unlikely to break at the seams anytime soon.

Not super cheap, but worth every penny!
Before this I had a very large purse which held everything from money, cards, makeup, cigarettes, my mobile, a nail clipper, chewing gum and so on... It was so large it could double up as a clutch bag.I got to the point where I'd become sick of dragging such a large wallet around all the time so I researched small card wallets that would hold all the cards I need. I looked at many much cheaper wallets, but they all seemed larger than they needed to be, or didn't have RFID blocking ca[abilities, or were made from cheap looking PU instead of leather. I decided to pay the extra to get what I hoped would be a quality product and I haven't been disappointed so far.I've been using the wallet for around a month now.So far I keep my driving license, Oyster card and three bank cards in this wallet, though I am lead to believe that the wallet can fit a minimum of five more cards. The middle pocket is protected by RFID blocking fabric so I don't need to worry about my details being stolen. Both the outer pockets are standard so I can keep my Oyster card in the outer pocket and use it for the underground without having to remove it from the holder.The middle pocket has a handy magnetic pull tab that pops the cards out so they're easy to access. It is simple but works brilliantly.It's made from great quality soft leather and looks very smart, and fits in jeans pockets or in bags with ease (even those silly small pockets they put in women's jeans). I combine it with a money clip to hold my notes and just keep chance in a pocket or in my bad (though maybe I need to invest in a change pouch just to finish the set).All in all - wonderful!

Slim wallet
Good quality, smart looking, slim wallet that slips neatly into a shirt pocket. Three sections to it, a slip pocket front and back and a central section accessed by an elasticated tab that pulls the contents proud of the wallet edge without the need to go digging for them. I think the claim that it holds 14 cards is spurious, at best - more realistically one in the front pocket and three or four max in the central section. Similarly the back pocket will accommodate three or four folded notes without losing the slim profile. Just the thing for trips or nights out when you don't need take everything else with you, and as a bonus cards in the centre pocket are protected against RFID scanning.

Slim and classy-and the colour is exquisite.
Brilliant slim wallet.I use this everyday-and it is brillaint.I have most if my cards and storecards in there and it is very convenient. It has helped me keep only the important cards with me. Has even helped in cutting down he clutter of carrying change. Now my bum cheek doesn't feel sore-hahaha (for info: i used to keep my old wallet in my back pocket and it used to be full off coins and receipts and all kinds of junk)I am thinking of buying another one once finances premit-and have also recommended to my friends.UPDATE (09/03/2024) - after over 6 years of use, the card pull strap has finally given way, and now the cards cannot be pulled out. The wallet is fine, but without this card pull- it has become useless...Looks like time for another wallet...It has lasted 6 years...of daily use... so brilliant wallet.

6 years going strong
Bought this product 6 years ago. It's still in really good condition, high quality and would highly recommend. My sister bought one a couple of years ago (after seeing mine) and has had no problems either. Perfect for a few cards and is ideal for keeping in your pocket without taking up too much space.
