S $600

Anyone knows how much is this wallet selling locally? A friend helped me buy for 300 euros in Paris.

Which version you considering?

When you look at bellroy, it's important to understand that bellroy wallets are mostly constructed to help users achieve "minimalist"

Help you reduce your current "big Mac" wallet to probably a "Filet of fish"

I personally never used Bellroys before, but purely based on the reviews i've seen, its good.

again i wanna disclaim, the above is purely and very purely based off internet reviews.

i'm looking at the Hide&Seek myself too but i'm already using a Voyej one and i don't know how the Bellroy can replace it.....

Thanks for your input. I'm just thinking if it would be worth it to give bellroy a try or I should stick back to braun buffel. Since both of them are similar priced at 100+ and below 200.

i think Bellroy will really make you think how many cards you really need to carry on a daily basis because the overall profile is meant to be slim and minimal.

i'm not sure exactly which Braun u are comparing but i think Braun in general are really for the office guys with lots of cards and thick wallets and receipts poking out from the note's compartment (i use a Braun too! LOL!) and the overall profile is thick with all your cards ever in your lifetime in it.

Actually I'm trying to cut down the number of cards I bring. I dont have much cards to begin with. 1 debit card, 1 ezlink, ic and 1 membership card and that's about it. My braun had served me well for the last 6 years and yes I do find it abit thick sometimes.

ahhh!! I am using the Hide & Seek for my travels. for me, its an excellent minimalist travel bi-fold wallet.

mine has 5 visible card slots (2 on left, 3 on right). There is 1 hidden card compartment on the side with 2 card slots.
Each of these slots can actually comfortably fit 2 cards but this does make the wallet quite chunky.

A big cash compartment. its big enough to put in the entire 1K SGD notes and none of the top edges pop out from the wallet.
On the left side of the cash compartment, there an additional "secret" card slot, which I put a Anti-RFID blocking card and the SIM/SD card slot, I use that to put my spare SIM card

The Bellroy Hide & Seek Wallet gets its name from the secondary concealed cash compartment at the back.
This section is hidden by a thin leather flap that makes it easy to hide notes away from view.

i always use the hidden cash compartment to hide my USD/SGD and the bigger notes. the smaller notes I will put in the primary note compartment

I have been using this for like 4 years now.

only two downsides
1) this wallet is not for you if you need alot of coins cuz no coin slots/compartment
2) this wallet is not for you if you always carry alot of cash, currencies.

If you put your wallet in the back pocket of your pants all the time, even when you're sitting down, then that is the 1st recommendation - don't. Your wallet will wear out much much faster and look like a turtle shell.

2nd thing, sitting on your wallet is not good for your posture in the long run.

If leather doesn't last, get canvas kind. Non-porous ones would probably be better. But if you don't follow the 1st recommendation, nothing you get will help. You'll need a titanium hardcase.

Braun Buffel is my top pick

Anyway.... Things are meant to slowly breakdown over time

5 years for a wallet is pretty ok.

I agree to get canvas if you don't tender care your waller. Mine is the LV damier multiple

[keechiu]

Even LV canvas will also break apart after prolong usage, especially if one keep sitting on it

My first LV monogram wallet lasted me for around 6 years then I switch to the LV leather series
