Hi my name is James and I want to show you a wallet I’ve been playing with for a while now. I’ve been using this design for over 11 years and every time someone buys me a wallet, or I think another one looks good, I’ve always come back to this design. It just works!
I love leather. Its natural and sustainable, and I love that leather smell and so decided to finally make a real nice one to share with you guys. Its taken about 2 years to source the right high quality leather and craftsmanship and about 8 months to refine and create the samples. It’s handmade from super tough kangaroo leather which is thinner than cow leather and far stronger than any other leather in the world.
Kangaroo Leather? Kangaroo leather is the toughest leather. Its very thin, durable and light and yet has a higher tensile strength than any other leather. Even when its cut thinner it still keeps most of its strength. This is because the hide contains virtually no fat due to the Australian environment which can cause holes and weakness when tanning.

I really hate those massive wallets that can hurt your back or bulge out from your pants that many people endure with. The Bantam Wallet is not like those small plastic and metal RFID wallets that severely limit what you can put in them and a lot tougher than the wallets that are just 2 pieces of material with an expensive rubber band around it. Most importantly, you won't be embarrassed carrying the Bantam Wallet around as it looks stylish with jeans or a suit!
The Bantam Wallet is super thin at 4mm (about 5/32inches) and still allows for a number of cards and cash to be carried. You CAN stuff a lot of cards, cash, dockets, post-it-notes, whatever you want in there if you really want to, even coins and keys! I’ve only needed about 7 cards and some cash at any time and I store all those dozens of other cards at home that I use only once-in-a-blue-moon.

Does the Bantam R Wallet protect all UHF, HF and LF cards?
The Bantam R Wallet is designed for cards that have low frequency (LF) chips which are used in almost all consumer cards that require tapping the reader to access its functionality. Ultra-high frequency (UHF) and high frequency (HF) chips are usually reserved only for packaging, distribution and shipping purposes.

We use government approved and sustainable leather. We use 100% recycled packaging where possible.
