Slim Wallets Flat Wallets with Coin Pocket & RFID

Cards only, with a coin pocket or with a note compartment: genuine leather slim wallets that lie flat in your trouser pocket and still hold everything important.

Leather Slim Wallets

A slim wallet is built for people who carry their wallet in the front trouser pocket and don't want to feel it. Cards instead of cash, the essentials instead of everything. Here you'll find handmade slim wallets in genuine leather in three designs: pure card holders, flat wallets with coin pocket and styles with a note compartment. If you do need more room, all wallets for women and men also includes the classic formats.

So you don't buy too small or too large, we explain here what fits in which design, which features make sense and how to keep the leather looking good in a trouser pocket for a long time.

Which size suits you

With slim wallets, it's less about the outer dimensions than about what needs to go in. Ask yourself: do I still pay cash, and should notes stay flat or is folded fine?

Cards only

The card holder is the thinnest form. It holds up to ten cards, and one or two folded notes fit behind the cards. No coin pocket, no flap, nothing that adds bulk. If you only pay by card anyway, this is the one for you. All card-only formats are listed under our leather card holders.

With coin pocket

A small coin pocket with a press stud makes the wallet a touch thicker but saves you loose change in your trouser pocket. The card slots remain, and the compartment holds a few coins for the bakery, the parking meter and the shopping trolley. You'll find these and all larger formats with a compartment for change in our Wallets with Coin Pocket.

With note compartment

If notes should stay unfolded, you need a full-length note compartment or a money clip. These models are the bridge to the classic wallet: flat in horizontal format, but with room for full-length notes and several cards. If you want even more compartments, you'll end up with our men's wallets.

Features: coin pocket, money clip and RFID protection

In the slim formats, the coin pocket comes in two designs: as a compartment with a press stud on the inside, or as a shake coin purse, where you open the wallet and tip the change into your hand. A zip on the coin pocket is rare on slim wallets because it adds bulk. All versions with a compartment for change are grouped together in our Wallets with Coin Pocket category.

The money clip holds notes with a metal clip, without a compartment of its own. It's the flattest solution for cash. Some models have a removable card holder, so depending on the occasion you can take just the card holder or the complete wallet.

Almost all the slim wallets here have built-in shielding against contactless skimming. It prevents a reader from accessing your cards in the wallet; to pay, you pull the card out as usual. Whether a model has it is stated on its product page.

Leather and care

All slim wallets are handcrafted from genuine leather. Most of them use buffalo leather, which keeps its shape despite being thin and develops a dark patina over time. Some models come in oiled leather with a vintage look, whose colour lightens at the edges and folds, making it look more characterful with every year. The type of leather used is stated in the product description.

A slim wallet sits tight in your trouser pocket and takes more strain than a handbag wallet. Two things help: don't overfill it, because too many cards stretch the slots permanently, and treat the leather occasionally with a little colourless leather balm. If the wallet gets wet, let it dry at room temperature and then grease it lightly. Scratches and signs of use are not a defect but the patina that distinguishes leather from faux leather.

Frequently asked questions

How many cards fit in a slim wallet?

Up to ten in a card holder, usually a few fewer in the flat wallets with a coin pocket, because the compartment takes up space. The exact number of card slots is stated for each model. Plan around the cards you really need every day; loyalty cards with a barcode can usually be stored on your phone.

Do notes fit in?

Yes, but in different ways: folded behind the cards in a card holder, flat in wallets with a note compartment or money clip. If you regularly receive notes, go for the version with a note compartment.

Is a slim wallet also suitable for women?

Yes. Many of our female customers use a card holder as a second wallet for a small bag or their jacket. If you want everything in one wallet, you're better off with our women's wallets.

Does the leather stretch over time?

A little, and that's intentional: after a few weeks, the slots adapt to the number of cards you carry. If they're permanently overfilled, though, they stretch too much. Start with the cards you really need.

Does the wallet press in your trouser pocket?

That's exactly what this design is made for: a card holder barely adds bulk and lies flat even in the front trouser pocket. A coin pocket adds some thickness, a note compartment some width. For the tightest trousers, a pure card holder is the best choice.

Hodalump & Ratschkatl® – Frequently Asked Questions

Wer ist Hodalump & Ratschkatl®?

We are a family business from Upper Bavaria, now in the fourth generation. That gives us knowledge of leather goods going back to 1947, and it shows in the quality of our products.

We combine rustic design with a modern touch — that is how we built our brand Hodalump & Ratschkatl®.

Sind eure Lederwaren wasserfest?

Our leather goods are made from high-quality, hard-wearing buffalo leather, which is naturally water-repellent. Light rain does them no harm, but they are not fully waterproof.

To keep your Hodalump products going for years, we recommend regular care with our leather grease. If your bag or wallet does get wet, let it dry slowly in the air — never directly on a radiator. Dirt can be removed carefully with a dry cloth.

With the right care, your Hodalump stays a reliable companion in any weather.

How long does delivery take?

We know you want your new Hodalump bag in your hands as soon as possible. That is why we usually ship orders within 24 hours of receiving payment.

Delivery within Germany takes around 1–2 working days. Orders to other European countries can take 2–4 working days depending on the country. We work with reliable carriers such as DHL to make sure your parcel reaches you quickly and safely.
