Bellroy is also a certified B Corporation, meaning it’s held to higher standards in terms of social and environmental impact. If you’d rather stay away from leather altogether, Bellroy also makes the Note Sleeve in fabric. The leather is certified by the Leather Working Group, making for a more environmentally conscious leather product. Of course, what makes for a great product goes beyond just the product itself. The wallet is also RFID blocking, but this isn’t a necessary feature when it comes to stopping real-world identity theft. The only drawback of this feature is that US dollars really sink into the deep cash sleeve, making them a little harder to access. I’ve only ever used this wallet with American greenbacks, so I can’t attest to this feature, but it is good that Bellroy took different kinds of currency into account. That’s because it’s designed to be travel-friendly, allowing you to fit taller currency like Yen and Pounds. Again, I thought the idea of hidden pockets seemed gimmicky, but they are genuinely useful.Īs for the cash sleeve, it has a substantially taller design than your average bifold. You can store quite a few coins in there, although this obviously starts to create bulk in the back of the wallet. In addition, there’s a coin pocket, which is protected by a flap. I use them for health insurance cards, which are sometimes flimsier than plastic cards. One tab is designed for business cards, allowing them to stay cleaner than they would be if they mingled with bank cards. There are two hidden pockets in the cash sleeve. The pull tab isn’t the only smart storage, though.

Less than two makes for a loose fit, while more than four can start to create bulk. That said, the main drawback is that the tab works best with a certain number of cards in there. The tab is simply a strip of leather held by a loop, so you can easily fix it should it get stuck (which it can do, but doesn’t very often). The cards really are easy to take out and pop back in, and despite using this tab all the time, there’s no sign of the leather tab wearing down. I was worried that this pull tab would be gimmicky, not durable or even hard to use, but it’s none of the above.
Once you want to put the cards back, stack them neatly and push them back in. By cutting down on unnecessary extra sleeves, you can store more cards and save space. Simply pull the tab, and your cards pop out, making it easy to grab them and use them. The unique leather tab allows you to stack any less-used cards that you still might want to keep on hand. Of course, you can store a lot more than just three cards, thanks to the pull tab. The slots have an angled design that makes it easy to quickly slide your cards out. You can store your ID, debit card and transit pass, or whatever your three most commonly used cards happen to be. These three slots are perfect for your everyday cards. The wallet swaps out the traditional four to six horizontal slots for just three vertical slots. You would think there wouldn’t be much to say about the inside of a wallet, but there’s a lot going on when we reviewed this Bellroy wallet.
