Phone, cards, keys, cash... it can get a bit jumbled in your jeans pockets when you're out and about, so why not get yourself organised with this leather phone pouch from kings of carry, Bellroy? Made in tactile moulded leather, it's got a stretchy interior pocket that'll accommodate most standard-size mobile phones – with a larger 'plus-size' version available for chunkier smartphones. There's a slip pocket for cards and a slim compartment for folded notes, plus a key loop and an extra pocket for coins/keys. And if that sounds like quite a lot to fit into one pocket-sized package, you'll be pleasantly surprised by how compact it actually is. The all-conditions phone pocket is a tough bit of kit too (the clue is in the name), and previous versions have proved especially popular with cyclists looking to keep their everyday essentials safe from rain, dirt and sweat. While it's not designed to be completely submerged, the leather is water-resistant and the Aquaguard zip adds an extra layer of protection
A slim, sophisticated profile, exceptional materials and an intelligent and considered design — if you were designing a wallet, we reckon those three criteria would be pretty high in your priorities. It’s also the exact same thought process that a collective of designers and craftsmen had in the early 00’s in Bells Beach, a small coastal town along Australia’s Great Ocean Road. After a few years of tinkering and perfecting their design — and a move to Melbourne’s trendy Fitzroy district — Bellroy was born; their impact on the everyday carry industry has been seismic.
Now a respected brand with a dedicated global following, Bellroy have expanded their range to include backpacks, passport holders, pouches and a whole slew of wallets, from zip-up coin pouches to premium leather models. Despite that growth, these Aussies are keeping their feet on the ground - Bellroy is a certified B Corp, striving to reduce their impact on the environment as much as possible. From travel folios and wash bags to everyday backpacks and wallets, Bellroy exists to provide the very best carry items - invariably, their fusion of considered design and premium materials means that their products are exactly that. The best.
