Totally with you on this. The whole "titanium wallet as a flex" trend baffles me—like, congrats, you’ve turned a basic utility item into a fidget toy that’s terrible at its job. I tried one of those Ridge knockoffs once, and pulling out cards felt like performing surgery mid-transaction. No one has time for that.
Bellroy’s approach is spot-on because they actually *design* instead of just stripping things down for aesthetics. That hidden cash slot? Brilliant. It’s not about how few features you can cram in, but how intelligently you integrate them. If a wallet can’t survive a hectic day without making me look like I’m struggling to crack a safe, it’s a hard pass.
Side note: why do so many "minimalist" brands act like carrying cash is a moral failing? Real life isn’t a tech bro’s utopia—sometimes you need a $5 bill for the taco truck.
