About this item

SMALL. MIGHTY. ORIGINAL. - The Wally Micro is the perfect minimalist card-holder. Modern and discreet, the Wally Micro is designed for your front pocket and the shape of your credit cards to securely accomodate what you need. Slim and reversible, you can pick the color best suited to you. Updated with tighter corners for better card coverage, the Wally Micro lets you carry an assortment of business cards, credit cards, and folded bills inside, or tucked safely beneath the strong elastic band.

SLIM & PACKED WITH FEATURES - Bite-sized with seemingly endless capacity, the Wally Micro is big on features and minimal in size. Resilient and flexible, our elastic band keeps your assets protected and can securely hold up to 10 cards and folded bills. Our Wally Pull-Tab gives you quick access to what you need, and is made of durable, ribbed grosgrain. The Wally Micro is reversible, giving you two colors in one slim, card-carrying, wallet.

PREMIUM CONSTRUCTION - Skillfully crafted with rich, supple full-grain leather, the Wally Micro features a minimalist design. Our premium, veg-tanned leather is sustainably sourced and softens over time, allowing your wallet to become slimmer and even better suited to your cards. The Wally Micro is beautifully crafted with a modern, discreet profile.

JUST THE ESSENTIALS - The Wally Micro is designed to hold up to 10 cards. Each wallet is optimized for folded bills and has RFID-Shielding for peace of mind. The Wally Micro is crafted with rich, full-grain leather from tanneries certified for environmental stewardship by the Leather Working Group. Dimensions 3.5” x 2.1” x 0.3” (89 x 54 x 6mm). Each wallet carries a 1-year warranty.

Product Description

Distil Union Wally Micro Classic on center console

Designed to be the smallest leather wallet that’s a delight to use

For a wallet this compact, it’s sure to make a big impression

Wally Micro is a credit-card sized leather sleeve with a capacity that will endlessly surprise you: The elastic band flexes to accommodate up to 10 cards—and back again. The band also holds your folded bills, or you can tuck bills into the main sleeve with your cards, which are accessed with our signature Wally Pull-Tab. We offer RFID-shielding due to popular demand for peace of mind; if needed, tap-and-go cards can be kept outside tucked under the elastic band.

We named this Wally wallet “Micro” for a reason: If you can’t fit this in your front pocket, there’s something wrong with your pants, friend! It’s the perfect upgrade if you carry an infamous rubber-band wallet... And like Clark Kent ducking into a phone booth to remove his glasses, you can take your cards out and thread the tab through to entirely reverse the wallet.

WHAT YOU’LL LOVE ABOUT WALLY MICRO

Incredibly small—only the size of a credit card
Pull-tab card access
Slim front-pocket profile holds 10 cards + folded cash
Rich, full-grain leather with RFID shielding

Verified Purchase

Bought this wallet Summer 2020.. as of Dec 2021, still in very good shape after about 18 months of daily use. I think two of the elastic strands have come loose from the lateral strap, which I pulled and tossed, and there’s a few wear spots that I would classify as normal wear and tear, but otherwise a solid product and a great value. I rotate the colors maybe twice a year.

I usually carry my license, health insurance card, a folded $20 bill, 3 business cards, and two of both business and personal credit cards, so 10 items total on the interior. Everything has stayed snug, though if I go smaller the band is looser. Again, normal, as it’s stretched to fit after the first month.

The outer band is perfect for sliding in occasional and temporary use items, like Sam’s/Costco cards, a hotel key card, or paper receipts.

Love it, will never go back to a butt wallet, and am asking Santa for a new one this year for added color variety.

GREAT

Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2017

I purchased this wallet to replace a money clip that has a slot for cards and a separate slot for cash. The money clip has served me well for over 5 years and as its made of steel I don't see why it wouldn't last a lifetime. So why am I replacing it? I always carry my clip in my front pocket. I've noticed that all my favorite pants are slowly having holes worn into the pockets by the steel construction of the clip. I was dismayed because I loved that money clip. It held everything I needed (3 credit cards, ID, about 3 thinner insurance cards, and 5-10 bills) in an extremely compact package that fit easily into the front pocket of even my slimmer cut pants. But something had to change because it was ruining the pockets in all my pants. Enter the Wally Micro. I've had it for a couple weeks now and I love it. It holds all the cards and cash I would carry in my clip without taking up any more space in my pocket. Because the Wally is made of leather its much easier on fabric of my pockets and lighter weight than my old clip. Before purchasing the Wally Micro my only concern was its lack of a separate storage place for cash. I was considering a slim bi-fold wallet with one of those slim metal, built in money clips like this: ( Travel Wallet RFID Blocking Bifold Slim Genuine Leather Thin Minimalist Front Pocket Wallets for Men Money Clip - Made From Full Grain Leather (California Desert) ) but decided to go with the more minimal Wally Micro because of how infrequently I use cash. So far so good. I don't keep my cash on the outside of the wallet tucked under the elastic band like the pictures show. I tuck my cash in behind my cards and this works well for me. It makes it a bit easier to slide in and out of my pocket and the pull tab raises my folded cash with the cards when I need it. Having to unfold your bills to use them and then refold them to fit them back in the Wally is a little more cumbersome than using cash with fore mentioned bi-fold design, but I hardly ever use cash. For me the smaller foot print of the Wally Micro out weighs this inconvenience. Durability remains a question as I've only had the Wally Micro for a couple weeks, but it seems very well built. The elastic band is very heavy duty and does not make it any harder to get into and out of your pocket. If the Wally falls apart in the next 6 months I'll update, but right now its meeting all my needs perfectly.

The perfect minimal wallet!

Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2016

This is my first review for any of the hundreds of things I've purchased on Amazon. It's that good.

I have had the same bi-fold wallet for probably over a decade. I hate sitting on a wallet, and I've been investigating minimal wallets and card holders for years. None seemed to do the trick for me--usually due to a combination of features and style. The more classic style I like means I was leaning toward leather, but many minimalist wallets with the right features are made of things like nylon and even carbon-fiber-like materials. Yet many of the leather options were too simple, and I heard they would stretch to the number of cards you put in them. In other words, if you keep 7 cards in your leather card holder then reduce that to 5, it will be stretched and your cards will fall out.

This wallet is perfect. I chose the gray/brown option and I keep the brown color facing outward. It looks classic enough that I don't feel strange pulling it out while wearing a suit. The leather feels nice (though not very thick as, in this case, it should not be), and it's starting to get a subtle patina already. The key feature is the elastic band around the wallet that makes it hold any number of cards and cash solidly. The pull-tab that slides your cards out is something I didn't even know I wanted until I had it. It works remarkably well, sliding your cards out slower than you pull the tab meaning it's very controlled. It's one of those things where you couldn't imagine a more elegantly simple solution.

I've been using the wallet for several weeks now, and the size is so delightful. More than once I've patted my pockets thinking I didn't have my wallet, but there it was! I've actually had it crammed full with at least 6 cards, dry cleaning tickets, and an unusual (for me) amount of cash bills (like 5-6 folded). Even with all of that, it is thinner than my *empty* old wallet. And thinness is only one dimension ... the profile wastes zero space as well. I often carry it in my front pocket or sport coat pockets and forget it's there.

About waste: One of my favorite things about receiving this wallet was that the packaging was extremely waste-conscious. There was no plastic, no unnecessary tapes, wraps, or fasteners. You just pull the wallet out and recycle the rest! We are attempting the Zero Waste movement at our house, so this was a huge delight.

It's not the cheapest minimalist wallet you'll find, but it's made in USA. I feel the price point is just right for a product so good. I highly, highly recommend it!

So close to being great.

Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2020

This wallet is perfect as a front pocket wallet. The biggest con of this wallet is that the elastic band is not tight enough. If you carry less than 7 cards, they may fall out on their own. It's very compact, with soft edges, and is easy to access the contents, unlike a ridge wallet. Cash can fit into the elastic band on the outside. The quality of the wallet is on par with it's price: the materials are thin and lightweight and flimsy.
If the elastic band were tighter, or adjustable at all, this wallet would be perfect. The price is extremely reasonable; the form factor is extremely slim, but the elastic band means you need to carry quite a few cards.

Das Geld nicht wert...

Reviewed in Germany on July 27, 2021

Zugegeben: es gibt wohl kaum ein minimalistischeres Wallet. Aber da fangen die Probleme eigentlich auch schon an. Wenn man ein paar Karten drin hat, dann stehen diese oben leicht über. Da die Ecken rund sind, kann man Visitenkarten eigentlich gar nicht einstecken (es sei denn, man steht auf Knicke und Eselsohren). Das Leder ist ok, wobei ich mir bei dem Preis mehr erwartet hätte. der Gummiriemen, der die beiden Hälften zusammenhält, ist megastraff. Wenn man das Wallet wendet (ist ja möglich, um farblich mehr Abwechslung zu haben) dann kommen Bedenken auf, dass der Gummiriemen nicht abreisen könnte. War insgesamt, vor allem bei dem Preis, vom Produkt nicht überzeugt und habe es retourniert.

Brilliant minimalist wallet.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 7, 2017

So after using a tri wallet for years and it starting to show its age, i went to bifold and hated it (lasted a year i just fancied a change). I then brought £5 card older from a local clothes shop (River Island) and quite liked it, it could only hold 3-4 cards and 2 notes i shoved into it, but it was hard to get the cards out. I then decided to research minimalist wallets and then decided to get this one as a birthday gift to myself.

So far i love it, its small and discrete. Holds everything i need and has room for one or two unessential cards plus some notes if i ever decide to carry them. Cards are easy to pull out with the pull strap and reversing the wallet is easy. Im happy with the purchase and will no doubt buy other minimalist wallets in the future Distil Union and others!
