Guaranteed for life
Every Wingback is covered by our Lifetime Guarantee and repair service. If a piece ever fails through a fault in its materials or its making, we will repair it or replace it. Fair wear, patina and the marks of use are part of the story, not a fault.
Made in England
This product is made in England. We keep as much as we can close to home, but the priority is always on creating the best product. Where something is better made overseas, it is, and we note it in the details.
Description
The original card holder has remained largely unchanged since its release in 2014. A single piece of leather is laser cut, folded and hand stitched to create a pocket that fits up to 5 cards with an easy access cut out, and a wing pocket on the front for folded cash or your most used card.
Our 1.4 mm Tuscan vegetable-tanned leather is built for heavy use. Durable yet supple, the British Racing Green leather has a classic green colour and softens and darkens over time to develop a rich, unique patina that reflects the stories of the journeys it joins you on.

“have always liked smaller wallets and this is perfect”
Reviews
Just landed — my wallet from the UK arrived in Darwin, Australia! I’ve never seen such a beautifully slim-designed wallet. It looks perfect for me.
I paid a little extra for the wallet and quite a bit more for FedEx shipping, which was disappointing, but overall, it’s definitely worth the money. I’m really happy with it!
I deliberated for quite a while over which brand and type of card holder to purchase and finally opted for the Wingback card holder in the Whiskey colour. From the moment it arrived I knew I had made the right decision. The wallet was beautifully presented in a black cloth bag, the quality of the leather and the stitching and engraving completely exceeded expectation. This wallet securely holds my cards and a banknote or two in the front section, but maintains a very small and slim profile which easily be placed in a shirt or front jeans pocket. Can’t recommend enough.
Two great wallets. They are well made and were delivered fast. You can also personalise them. I only personalised my passport wallet and it looks great. Thank you Megan.
I love the craftsmanship of this cardholder, the quality of the leather, the simplicity, the unique design, the personalization, and all at a great prize. I was looking for a unique and high quality cardholder in US, and I couldn't find the right one. I found Wingback in an article by chance, and even though it was overseas, I decided to give it a chance. The experience was amazing. I loved the level of personalization, and the note from Sasha, the person who worked on my wallet :). A nice touch. It took 2 weeks from order to final shipping from UK to NYC. The wallet looks amazing, and I plan to use it for a long time.
Received my personalised Wingback cardholder within a week of ordering and couldn’t be happier. The quality of the leather and stitching is some of the best I’ve seen on a wallet or any leather goods for that matter. Normally I would have bought a designer brand but it feels better to support a young English company and brand and I’m sure I’ll get many years of use out of my purchase. Thanks Wingback!
What can I say? This wallet is my favorite one I’ve ever owned. The leather breaks in well and doesn’t flake off or crumble like some do. The laser engraving holds up great, the pattern is well cut and prevents premature failure, and it’s affordable too.
If you aren’t sure if these are for you, take a look at everything that’s being sold elsewhere and consider your options. For $40, I really don’t know where to go for a better boutique item that is very obviously not being mass produced.
I’ll be back in another 7 years for my next one, even though my original is definitely not even close to being worn out yet.
The Original Card Holder - Whisky
This wallet is so perfect I bought a second one when I lost my original - which I had for about 7 years. It ages like fine wine and is incredibly functional - everything you need and nothing you don’t. Hopefully don’t lose it again and have to buy a third!
I love this wallet. It is sleek great design and is designed for a lifetime. I love how small it is and when I pull it out I always get comments about it. I highly recommend this wallet for all men.
Too small for my liking.
Quality, design and size of the card holder is just perfect. Very fine craft and very well executed design. I am happy with the purchase and wingback kept me well informed about the shipping process.
Thank you for this Excellent review Mohammed!
Enjoy the Card Holder!
I got the card holder to replace a wallet that was stolen at Heathrow airport. I wanted something that was small enough to fit in a pocket and this fits the bill, so to speak - a credit card, credit card size tracker, and few bank notes. It's simple design, quality leather and stitching make it ideal for travelling.
Hi Richard,
So sorry to hear! Glad to hear you found a replacement you're liking however - thanks for the 5 star review!
Such a great product love it
Amazing quality and very satisfied.
Was reccomended by a friend and im glad he did.
We are too! Great to hear you love your Card holder and Your friend recommended it is also awesome! Thanks Casey
Top notch. Great quality and great for quick trips and lite carry
I purchased a few wallets from Wingback and love both styles. This cardholder wallet is perfect for everyday front pocket wear and definitely fits into the minimalist category with zero bulk, at times I don’t even realize the wallet is in my jeans or jogging trainers. I carry three card and 1-3 currency bills easily, it has capacity to add a few more cards or currency if needed however think Minimalist Wallet, this pairs very well if you already use apple wallet to store a few other cards electronically and you need a minimalist walled to carry a bank card, Id and perhaps a back up card with cash, without the need of carrying a full of cards. The quality and construction of ALL Wingback wallets is superior, the leather is beautiful, the Smell “you had me at the smell when opening the packaging”. Hahaha, the stitching is very meticulously done and reinforced. Best wallet fit finish and quality than any brick and mortar store bought wallet I have come across. Most of all it a great conversation starter as many people have given such nice compliments asking where I purchased this wallet. I like these wallets are very unique, I also own Gucci and Louis Vuitton wallets and by far these wallets are far Superior and 10 times cheaper in price than those designer wallets.
Hi Micheal,
Thank you so much for your amazing feedback. So glad to hear that you are enjoying your Wingback wallet and it is serving you so well!
Thanks again!
This will be a staple for years to come
Thank you!
So great to hear - thanks for your review!
Perfect for what I need and so easy to carry in pocket
So glad to hear the original card holder is performing well for you! Have a great day!
Great wallet
Thanks! Glad you like it

Meets all my expectations. Beautifully made and finished. My wife has now got me the Churchill wallet to match for my birthday and that arrived today.
Smaller than I expected which I was very happy about. Perfect for my work access card, Travel card and one credit card. Small form factor and smells AMAZING. Very good quality product!
So happy!
I was eyeing the wallet for a while before deciding to buy - I'm really picky. And I'm really glad I did buy as the wallet is amazing! High quality leather and amazing attention to detail. And the smell of the leather! Now eyeing the other products as they all look awesome.
Great quality. Just enough to handle everything I need.
More in hope than expectation I ordered a custom cardholder in the red zone ahead of Christmas….despite UK Post strike the folks at Wingback made it with 2 days to spare…and un-Grinched Christmas. Top job Santa.
I've ordered three different wallets/cardholders over the years from Wingback & every time they're perfect & exactly what I wanted.
Super quick delivery, & I'm very pleased to see that they haven't changed their excellent customer service as they've grown as a business.
Frequently asked questions
Unpersonalised pieces leave us in 1 to 2 working days; personalised pieces are made to order and leave in 1 to 2 weeks. UK delivery is by DPD and usually adds a day or two. International orders travel by FedEx and arrive 2 to 7 days after dispatch, depending on where you are. Anything that includes a pre-order piece ships together, on the date shown against that piece.
No. International orders are sent delivered duty paid. The price you pay at checkout includes any import duty and tax due in your country, and we settle it with the carrier before the parcel leaves England. Nothing is owed on delivery and there is no paperwork to complete.
Most pieces can be engraved with initials, a name or a short message — add the inscription on this page before you add to cart. Two things change when you do: your piece is made to order, so allow 1 to 2 weeks before dispatch, and because it is made for you it cannot be returned or exchanged.
Yes — you have 30 days from delivery to change your mind, no reason needed. Email hello@wingback.co.uk and send the piece back; you cover the return shipping and we refund your original payment method. The exception is personalised pieces, which are made to your specification and cannot be returned.
Yes. If anything fails through a fault in the materials or the making — whether that is next month or in twenty years — we repair or replace it. Wear, patina and the marks of use are not faults; they are the point. The full terms are on our Guarantee & repairs page.
Our materials are chosen to wear in, not wear out. Brass darkens with handling into a patina unique to you — polish it back to bright whenever you like. Steel and titanium keep their finish with almost no attention, and leather deepens in colour as it is used. This ageing is character rather than damage, and each product page carries specific care notes in the Wear and Care row.
About us
Since 2014 we've been blending technical engineering with traditional craft to create refined tools that are guaranteed to last a lifetime. We design every product ourselves, from a studio in London's iconic Oxo Tower.
The metal is machined in England, the leather hand-stitched in London, and our waxed cotton bags made in England. A few pieces are made overseas, by specialists who do that particular job better than we could here, and where that's the case we say so on the product page rather than leave you guessing.
Wherever a product is made, it's designed here and carries the same guarantee. If something stops working as it should in normal use, we repair or replace it, however long you've owned it.
