Secrid

What Is Secrid?

Secrid is a Dutch design company that builds “pocketwear”: compact wallets organised around one patented idea, an aluminium card case with a lever-operated slide. The Cardprotector launched in 2009, but the story starts earlier. In the 1990s the founding couple ran a design agency, Spirid, and noticed their pockets changing as cards replaced cash in the Netherlands; in 1995 they made their first minimal wallet, the Bodycard. When client work dried up in the 2008 financial crisis, Secrid became the main business. Today it employs more than 100 people, is sold in over 8,500 selected stores worldwide, and is still run by the founding family.

How Does the Secrid Cardprotector Work?

Your cards sit in a rigid anodised-aluminium case. Push the lever at the bottom and they fan out in a staggered row, so you can see and pull the one you want; push them back in and the case closes flush. The aluminium does three jobs at once: it stops cards from bending or cracking in a back pocket, it keeps them from sliding out, and it blocks the radio signal that contactless cards use, so they can’t be read through the wallet. Every Secrid wallet — Mini, Slim, Twin — is built around this same Cardprotector, wrapped in leather.

Are Secrid Wallets RFID Protected?

Yes. The aluminium case of the Cardprotector blocks RFID and NFC signals, so contactless cards inside it can’t be skimmed or accidentally charged. Cards carried in the leather exterior pockets are outside the aluminium, so keep the card you most want protected inside the slide.

Miniwallet vs Slimwallet: Which Secrid Should You Buy?

The two bestsellers hold the same Cardprotector; the difference is the leather around it.

If you carry a folded bill or two and want everything held shut, choose the Miniwallet. If you want the slimmest profile and don’t mind an open exterior, choose the Slimwallet. Both hold 4 embossed or 6 flat cards in the slide, with extra card slots in the leather.

What Is the Secrid Premium Collection?

Premium is Secrid’s top tier: the same Miniwallet and Slimwallet shapes in finer leathers, compatible with metal credit cards, and backed by a five-year warranty instead of two. Mondo Uomo stocks Premium in three leathers:

• Basco — vegetable-tanned Italian cowhide from La Bretagna, a family tannery in Tuscany. Deep colour that develops a soft sheen with use.
• Dusk — the same Tuscan vegetable tanning with a subtle shine, a premium take on the Secrid bestseller.
• Emboss Diamond and Emboss Lines — soft sheep leather sourced in Spain and embossed in Italy by Vivolo, a supplier to major fashion houses. Emboss Diamond, inspired by car upholstery, is the icon of the collection.

Which Secrid Leathers Does Mondo Uomo Carry?

Beyond Premium, the core range comes in finishes with very different characters: Matte (smooth, colourful yet discreet), Original (classic glossy leather), Optical (a three-layer hexagon finish that catches the light), Crisple (a textured leather that resists stains and scratches), Pyramid (a studded texture), Vintage (abraded and waxed for a stonewashed look) and Palmellato (pebble grain). For a leather-free option there is MIRUM, a plant-based material. Secrid’s leathers need no regular maintenance.

How Much Does a Secrid Wallet Cost at Mondo Uomo?

Every Secrid on the site is at full price — the program is replenished rather than marked down.

Is a Secrid Wallet a Good Gift?

It is one of the most dependable gifts in the store: no sizing, a price between $94 and $210, it arrives boxed, and almost every man who carries cards will use it daily. The Premium Basco and Emboss leathers make the more considered present. Pair one with a Martin Dingman belt or a pair of Vuarnet sunglasses, or browse all wallets and card holders.
