I have a pretty simple wallet setup, it's empty haha
Got 3 out of 4 wallets today. First time ordering from aliexpress and I’m pleasantly surprised how good these look and work. These 3 cost me $19.25 shipped. Mechanism seems to work pretty good, and the fake leather actually looks really nice. Time will tell how they hold up but overall can’t go wrong for like 6% of the price of a genuine secrid

Glue is pretty solid as far as i can tell. They really do look good overall considering they are $7
Here's the blue and brown:

The 4th one i bought came in today. i actually like this one the best since the card holder is blue

This one is allegedly genuine leather so that’s why it’s $14 instead of $7

It was 20% off in April.
dang, missed that one. oh well, happy with 16% off anyway.
I've used a saddleback bi-fold for the last many years but I've since started making my own.
US sized horizontal bi-fold, Euro sized vertical bi-fold, and a bunch of minimalist card holders I made as gifts (on top of a mouse pad I made).

Very cool. Where do you source the leather? Those card holders are very handy, I have a couple from saddleback.
That leather came from Morocco from a trip I did to Fez in December - it is quite nice and should look better and better with time.
I'm trying to source some nice veg-tan from a village in Spain known for its leather for future projects so I have a consistent source. I still want to clean-up my process and get my stitching down 100% and then I may start offering some for sale. It's just a hobby but the tools aren't cheap so it would be nice to eventually use some product sales to grow my tool quiver and enhance my skills.
Very cool. Keep us updated.
Bought a replacement Adrian Klis model 211 today, identical to the previous one I had been rocking for something like 20 years. Guy was selling them at the medieval faire in Strathmore. Impulse purchase but I know I like that style. Even though these are much "lighter duty" than saddleback, they last well enough and are much easier to break in.

In my never ending quest of downsizing to the smallest possible wallet setup, while not compromising on the number of cards/cash I carry, this is finally the best solution I have found. Wasted way too much money on your Gucci's, Burberry's, LV's. etc. and they are all collecting dust and I just love this. And this is with there being about 8 bills folded in the centre pocket.
I moved from a Ridge style knockoff to this about 6 months ago

Holds what I need and is super slim, feels much better in pockets compared to my old wallet.
