This is a long-term, hands-on review of the Anson Calder Card Wallet (both versions).
Four years later, this wallet has aged like top shelf bourbon.
Specifically, I’ll share my thoughts after having used the first and second generation Card Wallet for several years.
If you’re trying to decide whether or not to invest in an Anson Calder wallet, you’re in the right place.

About Anson Calder
Based in NYC, Anson Calder is named after its founder, Curtis Calder, an investment banker turned leather goods designer.
Curtis loves minimalism, luxury materials and functional design, and you’ll see/feel all of these things when you interact with Anson Calder products.
Even the packaging feels luxurious, like you’re opening a new iPhone.
The brand now makes several different types of wallets, bags and accessories with prices ranging from $60 to over $1,200.
Slim wallets were their first offering, and the Card Wallet is still a flagship product today.
The Card Wallet
Back when Anson Calder first launched, they were laser-focused one thing: making a better slim wallet.
Card Wallet w/ Cash Pocket (left), Card Wallet w/ Cash Slot (right)
And to be honest, they did just that. I love thin, minimal wallets, and I’ve tried out many different options.
The Anson Calder Card Wallet is my favorite, and it hasn’t been dethroned in several years.
I’ve used two versions of this wallet:
Card Wallet with Cash Slot
Card Wallet with Cash Pocket (formerly called the Cash Wallet)
They’re both small, but the cash pocket version is slightly taller.
