Over time, wallets become more attractive and convenient: huge "shovels" are replaced by flat and compact cardholders made of silicone, wood and genuine leather. This guest article from the founders of the Zavtra project takes you through the latest wallet models - stylish, beautiful and durable.

MostRad

The stylish $ 30 wallet has a card slot and a sturdy elastic band for storing bills. The main advantage is instant access to one of the most important cards: you can put both a credit card and a discount card of your favorite restaurant in a special slot.

Sapling

A minimalist cardholder, targeting roughly the same people who admire the bamboo version of the Motorola Moto X. Sapling is available in walnut, birch wood and cherry. Up to eight cards can be placed inside, and the owner can custom-engrave the outside of the cardholder if desired. True, then the price will jump from $ 14 to $ 25.

Zavtra

Super compact wallet produced by Russian entrepreneur Nikolai Belousov. Inside will fit 3-4 cards, a work pass and a few bills. At the same time, the Zavtra accessory is imperceptible both in the back pocket of jeans and in the breast pocket of a shirt. The prospect of the idea of a calfskin wallet was proved by the campaign on Boomstarter: there the question is no longer about the successful completion, but about the appearance of new colors in the line. By default, brown, blue and black were present, but now, most likely, green and orange will be added.

Mujjo iPhone 6 / 6S wallet case

Leather case for iPhone with a pocket on the back of the case. A couple of credit cards will fit in there without any problems, and, if desired and with effort, the same number of business cards. The price of a two-in-one cardholder is almost £ 34, but there is only one drawback: there is a possibility of losing both your smartphone and important cards at once.

The trofeo

The Trofeo, a cardholder for fans of luxury cars, is made from the same material as the seats in the Lamborghini. The main advantage of this accessory is elasticity: more cards fit inside than you might imagine. They are extracted, by the way, also without problems. To the manufacturer's credit, despite the expensive material, the price of The Trofeo is kept at an acceptable level - $ 35.

Minimo

Silicone cardholder with a special compartment that can hold several coins, memory cards, compact flash drives or a key blade. For functionality they ask for from 16 to 30 pounds. The price also depends on whether you will additionally purchase custom holders for small items.

Holster

Translated, the name of this wallet means "holster". Holster will hold up to 10 credit cards, and even then there will be room for cash (bills, not coins). All this is fixed by two segments of the skin (long and short), so the likelihood of losing something valuable is extremely small. A reliable leather wallet sells for as little as $ 20 - a pretty attractive proposition.

SlimFold

The indestructible wallet is water resistant and made of a durable material called Tyvek. Both cash and cards can be placed inside. In addition, SlimFold is available in two sizes: standard and micro. The final plus of this practical accessory is the price: the "bomb shelter" for your savings costs only $ 20.

Leffot

A frame was sewn into a piece of high-quality leather and taught to fold so as to take up a minimum of space in your pocket. It is convenient to store cash in Leffot, but neither change nor cards will stay there for a long time - they will fall out. The second drawback is the price from $ 95 to $ 120. But the wallet looks stylish, and it is really convenient to use it: banknotes will take their place in just a couple of seconds.

Dash 2.0

This cardholder is not as simple as it seems: thanks to the hole in the center of the product, the owner of Dash 2.0 can instantly remove the card that is lying on top with a short swipe of his thumb. The accessory is released in two orientations (vertical and horizontal - for different types of cards), and its price is affordable - only $ 19.
