Frequently Asked Questions
A brand new Bridge Wallet can accommodate up to 10 cards in the front pocket, several folded bank notes in the back pocket, as well as a small amount of pocket change (several large coins and several small coins).
The Bridge Wallet will adapt over time to your individual usage and may accommodate more cards and coins than in the beginning.
Rule of thumb: The more coins in the back the less cards in the front.
You can also fit in flat keys, small USB sticks, an airtag and small pens. It all depends how you want to use it and where you are ready to compromise.
Yes, it easily fits into your front and back pocket of your pants as well as the breast pocket in your jacket.

All our products are manufactured in Germany. We are partnering with trusted, long established manufactories specialized in leather craftsmanship that posses the expertise and know-how to deliver exceptional quality with every product produced.
The Bridge Wallet is entirely made by hand. We decided to use a saddle stitch technique that can only be performed by hand for the Bridge Wallet to ensure maximum seam longevity.

Why you should choose a Bridge Wallet
There are two types of wallets out there. Your traditional foldable leather wallet, sometimes equipped with a coin pocket - most of the time bulky, heavy and impossible to carry when wearing a suit. Then there is the opposite. The slim wallet. Super thin; cards only, and in reality not practical since you will end up with coins and other small miscellanoues items in your pockets.
The bridge wallet is the first of its kind, "bridging" the space between a traditional bi-fold wallet and a slim wallet.
Slim Wallet
Highly limited capacity
Cards, sometimes cash, no coins
Very slim, easy to carry
Bridge Wallet
Large capacity, stays slim
Cards, Cash, Coins & small items eg. keys
Very slim, easy to carry
Traditional Wallet (Bi-fold)
Large capacity, but quickly overloaded
Cards, Cash, Coins
Bulky, not suit-compatible
We tested our Bridge Wallet for more than 10 years - Here is what we found out
Bridge Wallet
Beautiful patina that creates a natural protective layer
There was never a moment it couldnt carry enough
Plently of space for cards, bank notes, coins, receipts
Slim enough to fit into fron and back pockets of pants as well as chest pocket of jackets, suits
Enough space for cards, cash, coins and keys
The Urban Explorer is a revolutionary leather bag that unfolds its full potential when flexibility is needed. Most leather bags are built to serve a single purpose - the Urban Explorer is built for all of them.
Use one pocket for cards the other for cash
Our heavy bull leather from Remy Carriat tannery in France is a unique and luxurious material that perfectly combines flexibility with rugedness.
