Secrid is Dutch, family-run, and has been making wallets in the Netherlands since 2009. The heart of every one is the Cardprotector: an aluminium case with a small lever on the back that fans your cards out one by one, and shields them from unwanted RFID scanning while they sit in your pocket.

Around that core sit the Miniwallet, Slimwallet and Twinwallet, in leathers running from classic to bright, plus vegan alternatives. Everything is made in the Netherlands, much of it by people who face barriers to employment, and every wallet can be repaired rather than replaced.

Slim, mechanical and genuinely satisfying to use. If he's still carrying a fat leather fold, this is the upgrade.
