Out with Geoffrey Beene and in with Alpine Swiss!

Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2015

I don't just buy any wallet.
I like bi-folds, but with the center flip like this one, they are the best.
I liked it so much, I bought a second one, once I found out it was everything it should be.
It came in a cardboard box, so no money lost in a valet tin like others.
There is more control of your contents.
There are lots of slots for credit cards, and they have exactly enough room to slip them in and out.
Paper currency is easier to remove than with tri-folds.
This wallet is very well made.
I like lamb skin the best, but this top grain leather is real nice.
The metal manufacturer label is smaller than other brands, and hasn't hung up on anything to date.
The I.D. compartment is ample size and very clear.
I used to buy Geoffrey Beene wallets of this type, but the last one I bought was too small in every dimension.
The paper currency stuck out of the wallet, and there was not enough room for any credit cards to fit.
This Alpine Swiss wallet: I am completely satisfied with this style and quality, and am willing to write about it.
Hopefully they continue this style, until these two wear out, and I will buy again.

Quality is fairly good for the price

Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2015

Much smaller in size than I anticipated. Quality is fairly good for the price, but it is not a large wallet. Will probably keep for awhile and then switch again during the holidays.

Exceptional value for the price, great wallet.

Very compact and thin for a wallet that holds this many cards; exceptional value for the money.

Just be advised that the bottom card slots on the left and right flap are smaller than the others (the middle flap has the clear ID pocket and two horizontal card slots). So any card that you put in these slots will stick out more and make for a bulkier wallet in your pocket. Overall, I'd say it's more for 9 cards+ID, but you can definitely 11 cards+ID.

Other potential cons:

1) The bill compartments is not divided into two by a piece of fabric, in case you absolutely want two compartments.
2) The little Swiss Alpine logo *might* bother you if you put your wallet in your back pocket; I never use the back pocket so I'm not sure about that. 3) Also missing is a coins compartment, but I also suspect this is the reason it is so compact. The coins compartment makes for a thicker wallet, even when it is not used.

No cash divider but decent wallet.

Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2015

Nice wallet but I thought there was a cash divider in the cash area since the description says "two separate bill compartments". There is not a cash divider just to clarify....not sure where they think the other cash compartment is. I will say the wallet looks exactly like it does in the pictures and seems to be of good quality for the money. It's smaller than my current bifold, which is nice.

it suits me well

Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2017

lots of people complain about the size. I finally have a wallet that doesn't have bill corners sticking out of the top, so I am happy with it. The alpine swiss logo does stick out a decent amount so if you keep your wallet in your back pocket don't get this one. The logo is hard and shiny, so if you're not overly critical about things it may give the wallet a more quality feel for you as it has for me. The material is strong and soft. it is sown together well. If you undo the stitching where the clear pocket is held in to take the clear pocket out this wallet becomes quite thin. REMEMBER TO REPAIR THE STITCHING.

My second purchase of this wallet!

Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2018

Verified Purchase

This is my second purchase of this wallet. It does smell a little when you fist get it but it goes away quickly. This is the best wallet I have ever had. I have had a lot as a 45 year old man. It is nice and thin and hold enough. I washed mine one too many times finally and ordered a new one. GREAT PRODUCT! Buy with confidence.

GREAT PRICE! GREAT QUALITY!! Even survived the washing machine!!!

Hubby very much likes this wallet. In fact, we just bought a second one which varies a wee bit from the first one we bought. Unfortunately, our household understanding is that we each empty pockets in our clothes before putting an item in the laundry. Well, you guessed it. He tossed his pants on the washer and I added them to a dark wash thinking there was no need to check pockets. Yup, the wallet and contents went through the entire cycle. After salvaging all cards, driver's license, etc. to be dried out, I immediately ordered a replacement and put the washed wallet on the floor register to gently dry. It dried out beautifully and I could have cancelled the order but at this price, why not have two? GREAT PRICE for a genuine leather wallet.

Great on paper, bad craftsmanship

Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2015

I bought this wallet because it was one of the few I found that had enough credit card slots for the absurdly high number of cards I seem to accumulate. While it did its job in that respect, the leather work on this wallet was very shoddy, and soon after beginning use I found that the seal on the leather going into the cash pocket began falling apart. I only had the wallet for 2 or 3 months and had to buy something else.

It'll break your credit cards cause it's that stout.

Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2018

Had it quite a while now and it's holding up extremely well. It does like to break credit cards though. For whatever reason the way the card holders are arranged it breaks them right at the magnetic strip after only a couple months. I've started flipping my cards every time I use them to make them last a little longer because I do love the fit and durability of this wallet. And who cares about cards they replace them for free.

Good value 12 Credit Card Wallet.

Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2015

Verified Purchase

Good value, was looking for a 12 credit card holding wallet and found this, for the money this offers good value and no complaints. the build quality is good just a little less wider than the wallet I was using, but is thicker when loaded with 12cc's. Not a problem for me, but may be a consideration for others? The only other consideration is that it has only one pocket for bills, not the two from my previous wallet, again a minor inconvenience. Pleased with the purchase overall.The leather itself is of good quality, not premium, but NOT cheap and nasty either, supple enough to exude a good level of quality. Enjoy.
