Best wallet I ever owned. Slim, comfortable, beautiful, and feels premium.
TL;DR - Best wallet I ever owned. Slim, comfortable, beautiful, and feels premium.I've been on a hunt for a good slim wallet for a long time. As I travel a lot, there are places where I need the ability to have some coins with me, so all the "cards only" wallets are just too limiting. Then again, it seems all the ones with coin pockets just have outdated depressing designs with thick configurations.I finally came across this wallet and gave it a shot. It does not officially have a "dedicated" coin pocket, but it has a hidden pocket in its "Hide" compartment that is locked in by the flap, and keeps coins secure there. Don't expect it to hold tons of coins, but keeping some of the larger coins with you works well. For instance in the attached photo it now holds three 2-Euro coins.The other thing I really love about it is the "Hide" second notes compartments. Not because I plan to hide anything, but simply because it makes the usage of the two compartments more distinct. With regular wallets, I always ended up just using either compartment randomly. With this - it is extremely convenient to use the "Hide" compartment for the things you don't need regularly (foreign money, or larger notes), while keeping the day to day in the normal one. Therefore it is very convenient for use.As far as cards - it has 4 "single card" slots (you can stick two, but I wouldn't as it would make it thicker) where you put your 4 most accessed cards (I put there my drivers license, my two commonly used credit card, and another work related payment card), and then there's a thicker compartment where you can put additional cards, that is designed for multiple cards and thus won't get stretched out by putting there some cards. Mine holds now 3 more plastic cards and an NYC Metro card (yeah, that doesn't really have any thickness to it...)Still - with 7 plastic cards inside, some bills, and some coins, it is still very very slim (see photo attached). In fact, as I was moving stuff from my old wallet I noticed that my old wallet, emptied, was as thick as this one, full.The blue interior in the model I bought is the cherry on top - it's just so beautiful to open it every time.Bottom line - highly recommended.Is it worth the 90$? That I will be able to tell in 3-4 years. If it will last that long, then yes. If it will die before, harder to tell... (btw - it does come with 3 years warranty, so.... hopefully it is an indicator of something).

Excellent wallet: a nice blend of style, functionality and good looks
My boyfriend was looking for a stylish yet functional slim wallet, with the option to hold coins. I came across the Bellroy wallet and it doesn't dissapoint. The Java version of the wallet looks very stylish and premium, without compromising on functionality: build is top notch with very well finished seams and quality leather. The color pattern creates great contrast, with the darker brown body and subtle but stylish exterior orange accents. The inside of the wallet is the same bright orange as the exterior accents and takes getting used to at first (when coming from a darker wallet), but with time you get to appreciate the contrast and premium look it gives to the product.Regarding functionality, you can store several cards (4 quick access cards and a 4+ on the other card pocket) without the usual bulk of conventional wallets. Bills fit perfectly and there are 2 'hidden' pockets compartments on the bills section, both of which can be used for a variety of purposes. This allows you to store several coins or a couple of cards you may want to keep concealed. Do keep in mind that while you can fit coins, the back of the wallet will be marked with the shapes of the coins, as the wallet is rather slim. You won't find a windowed slot for IDs, but that helps keep the bulk at a minimum and the quick access card slots allow the IDs to be shown to at least half height. There are no features like RFID protection, however that's not the target market for this wallet, as Bellroy offers other alternatives for those interested in those features.This is one of those cases in which you get what you pay for. $90 may be considered a high price when there are cheaper alternatives, but for someone who values a wallet's 'slimness' without compromising functionality, a premium build and good looks, it is a price woth paying, especially if you're trying to stay away from the more extreme slim and minimalistic alternatives. The Bellroy Hide & Seek is recommendable from every angle.

Phenomenal wallet!
I absolutely love this wallet. I had a similar wallet to ridge in the past, and it was nice, but the lack of ability to hold cash safely and without notice bothered me. This wallet doesn't require you to have a certain amount of cards in it to work compared to those and it's fairly thin. It feels high quality and fits in my pockets, any of them. It's high quality is reflected in the price which I believe is very reasonable for something this good. No smell that I could notice. Simple open and closing, nothing fancy. I hide my big bills in the secret cash compartment which is really nice! 10/10, you have to get this!

Perfect Blend of Style and Functionality!
This wallet has quickly become my favorite accessory. The slim design is perfect for anyone looking to minimize bulk, yet it doesn't compromise the functionality.The RFID protection provides peace of mind, and the coin pouch is a thoughtful addition that keeps everything organized.The caramel leather is not only stylish but also feels incredibly durable and high-quality. Bellroy has truly thought of everything with this wallet.Highly recommended!

Best bifold I've ever owned
After 5 years of using a minimalist wallet, I started finding myself needing to carry cash with me more often, which is why I picked up the Hide and Seek.Even though it's been a while since I've had a bifold, I can honestly say this wallet is a step up from any other bifold I had previously: the quality is solid, the card compartments are plenty, and the hidden compartments for cash and coins is excellent -- especially if you're the type of person that needs to carry "larger amounts of cash" but don't want your wallet to look (or feel) like you're carrying thousands of dollars.For reference: the top-down pictures have 10 cards inside of them (4 in the main slots, 6 in the "extras" compartment), but the white background has 50 bills inside (10 in the main, 40 in the hidden) and the wood background has 25 bills inside (5 in the main, 20 in the hidden).I wouldn't recommend having 50 bills in your wallet (for many reasons)... but 50 was right around the number where the wallet started to feel a bit bulky.

Muy buena calidad
Moderna, elegante y buena calidad. La recomiendo 100%. Llevo 5 meses con esta cartera y se ve como nueva, ni una sola costura dañada o floja y la piel en excelententes condiciones. Te cuesta un poco más que una cartera regular pero con la calidad de una premium.
