How many cards can the Card Holder take?
It has four card slots, and the whole holder is rated for up to five cards. Two slots open from the front, two from the back, and there is a concealed compartment in the middle, so you can keep the cards you use most in the outer slots and tuck a spare or a less-used one out of sight in the centre.
What would I realistically keep inside it?
Think of a bank card, a travel or transport card, a work pass, a membership card and one spare in the hidden pocket. It suits people who want to leave the bulky wallet at home and carry only what they will actually use that day. It is built for cards rather than for coins or lots of folded notes.
How big is it, and will it fit in a pocket?
The listed size is 7 cm high, 10 cm wide and just 0.4 cm deep, and it weighs 20g. That is a very slim shape, designed to slide into a trouser pocket, a jacket pocket or the quick-access pocket of a bag without making a visible bulge.
Is it waterproof, and how do I clean it?
The outer fabric is described as waterproof, and the product is made to be wiped clean. If it gets splashed or marked, a quick wipe is all that is needed. We only describe wipe-clean care for this item, so we would not suggest soaking it or putting it through a washing machine.
What is it made from?
The outer is 900D recycled PET, which is 100% recycled polyester, and the lining is 210D nylon ripstop made from 100% recycled nylon. It is also vegan friendly. Recycled sources are used wherever possible, and each product in the range goes through demanding performance tests.
Does it have any visibility features?
There is reflective branding on the holder. It is a small detail rather than a safety feature in its own right, but it adds a touch of light-catching detail to an otherwise plain design.
Which bags in the range does it work well with?
Because it is so flat, it slips easily into the outer pocket of a bag such as the Everyday Backpack 15L, the Classic Backpack 15L or The Crossbody, so your cards are reachable without opening the main compartment. If you also want somewhere for coins and notes, the Wallet from the same range is the roomier option.
Should I choose the Card Holder or the Wallet?
Choose the Card Holder if you carry very little and prefer something thin. Choose the Wallet if you want a zipped main section, room for coins and notes, and space for many more cards. The Wallet is 2 cm deep and weighs 50g, so it is a larger item to carry.
Would it make a good gift?
It is a neat, practical present for a commuter, a student, a frequent traveller or anyone who is trying to carry less. Pair it with a Packable Backpack or a Tech Bag if you want to put together a small set of everyday carry pieces.
Can I use it while travelling?
Yes. It is a handy place to keep a boarding or transit card, an ID and a payment card together, and the slim shape means it fits into a travel bag's quick-access pocket or a front pocket on the move.
What is the difference between the front, back and central openings?
Two slots open on the front face, while a further two open on the reverse, so you can split your cards by how often you need them. The concealed central compartment sits between the two sides, which makes it a sensible spot for a card you want to keep out of view, such as a spare payment card or a key card you rarely use. Having three separate access points means you are not sliding every card out each time you need just one.
Will the slots feel tight when full?
The holder is rated for up to five cards across its four slots, and it is a deliberately slim design at only 0.4 cm deep. With a full set it will be snug, which is part of how it stays so thin. If you regularly carry more than five cards, the Wallet, which has space for up to 18 cards, is the better match.
Is it suitable for everyday use or just for travel?
It is designed for daily carry. The tough recycled outer is made to cope with being in pockets and bags, and the waterproof surface wipes clean after a rainy commute or a spill. It also works well on trips, where you may want only an ID, a payment card and a transport pass within easy reach.
Does the material feel animal-free?
Yes. The Card Holder is listed as vegan friendly, and both the polyester outer and nylon ripstop lining are made from recycled material.
How do I keep it looking good over time?
Because the surface is waterproof, most marks wipe off with a damp cloth. Keep it away from heavy loads in a back pocket if you want to protect the shape, and avoid overfilling it beyond five cards.
Can it go inside other items from the range?
Its small footprint of 10 cm by 7 cm means it can sit inside the external pocket of a Tech Bag, the Wash Bag Mini or a small sling such as the Motion Sling 4L. This is handy if you want your cards kept in the same place whichever bag you take.
Who is it a good gift for?
It suits students, new starters at a job, travellers heading off on a city break and anyone who has said they are fed up with a thick wallet. It is a modest, useful present that does not take much space to wrap or post.
