For some reason, I also own a fake Louis Vuitton x Supreme wallet that I bought late one night from a Manhattan street vendor after drinking three martinis. I also have a black Prada card case for formal occasions. (Don’t say hoarder!) My daily carry is a caramel bifold I bought 10 years ago from a small-batch purveyor in Brooklyn called M&U Co., which has worn in beautifully, like an old baseball mitt. I guess I will stay with Kan's products for the rest of my live.As for my own bona fides, I’m a wallet completist. I have tried a lot of wallets in the past, searching for convenience an minimality. The quality of the paper wallets is superb, I'm sure that I will use my very same Cash Sleeve for the next 10 years at least. (Living in Switzerland, we have to use Euros when travelling accross the border and therefore many use a Swiss Franc wallet an a Euro Wallet separately.) I use the Slim Bifold for foreign currency, where I'm not so intuitive with the coins and have to look closer to pick the right ones. Very slim and convenient to carry in my back pocket. Compared with my old "traditional" leather wallets, it is It keep about 5 Cards, 4 bills andĪ random amount of coins and a key. Personally, I use the Cash Sleeve for my daily use. The credit card access is easy and convenient in bot wallets. If you want an even more minimal wallet and don't mind that it takes a little longer to pick coins, the Cash Sleeve is the right one to buy. If you often need quick access to coins I'd recommend the Slim Bifold. Pick the right coins, deliver them and put the rest into the wallet without dropping any coin. Whereas, if using Cash Sleeve, you have to slide the coins into your hand. The Slim Bifold has the unique feature that you can slide out the coins, look at them and pick the ones you need. I wanted a wallet that is minimal and slim, since I normally keep it in my back pocket and was tired of using bulky leather wallets. I purchased both a Cash Sleeve an a Slim Bifold from Kan. Overall very good wallet, would recommend to anyone who travels light, I am looking forwards to see what other products Kamino has for us in the future. Although I do go through the effort of organizing paper money to be separated by value. The folded design lets u easily organize what u do have in distinct areas and makes quickly taking out a few bills convenient. Its formed a slight patina and is likely due for a wash, but even in its slightly darker appearance (I bought the tan) it looks great and its gotten several compliments when I pull it out in public. It has shown itself to be very durable as I often have it in a pocket with keys and other metal objects and its yet to have a scratch. It slides into pockets and has a very low profile that makes it very pocketable. I only have 3-4 cards and about 15 bills max(rarely i might add) at any one time. Its a great choice for anyone who doesn't cary much on them. I've been using this wallet daily now for a little over four months, its has been a delight to use and carry. It is a masterful piece of craftsmanship! Overall, I'm happy with how it looks, feels, and functions. As advertised, it dried quickly! We both agreed that waterproof or not, we want to avoid getting wallets wet. I let it soak in, and brushed off excess with my hand. One asked if it was waterproof, and I proved it to them by splashing water on it. They were reminded of origami when I taught them how to use it, and thought it was extremely creative. I asked them what they thought the material was, and everyone of them said leather. I've showed this wallet to my friends and family. It is quick and easy, and removed any concern I had with functionality. Then with my right hand I slide out the 4 card slot partially, take a card, and put it back. With the wallet fully open, I use my left thumb to put pressure on the 2 card quick slot against the 4 card slot. I found you can easily avoid this by the way you hold the wallet. I saw a review that mentioned how the 4 card slot can slide out and take more time to reassemble. I read a review on here that raised one small concern, but it became no issue once I used the wallet. I also enjoy the ability to half open if I only want bills. It is a smooth action to unwrap and access everything. The design of this wallet is well thought out.
