CowhideUltra-thin5 colors
The NICK card holder is designed for those who only want to carry the essentials. Crafted from cowhide, this flat case measuring 10.6 x 7.2 cm slips into a shirt, jeans, or jacket pocket without leaving a bulge. It doesn't fold, it doesn't open: you simply slide your cards in and retrieve them with your fingertips. Each side features overlapping slots, and an open central pocket holds a few extra cards or a folded banknote. Topstitching highlights the contours and reinforces high-stress areas. The leather has an aged look with nuanced, lighter highlights, giving it a vintage character from day one. Five colors are available: brown, coffee, gray, black, and red. For everyday use, NICK complements a larger wallet left at home, or replaces it entirely for those who have adopted contactless payment and only carry a few cards.

The material
Cowhide with a vintage look
Cowhide is prized in leather goods for its density and durability. It withstands the daily wear and tear of cards rubbing against the edges of the slots, which quickly wears down more fragile materials.
The NICK's leather is treated to offer an aged effect: lighter areas, marbling, and highlights that suggest an object already patinated by time. Over the years, this character will deepen further, and each card holder will develop its own story.
The topstitching along the edges holds the various layers of leather together and contributes to the case's long-term durability.

The bare necessities, with style
NICK was born from an obvious observation: in the age of contactless payment, many of us only carry three or four cards. Why weigh yourself down with a thick wallet?
The case is reduced to the essential: a rectangle of leather with rounded corners, readable slots, and a central pocket. Nothing protrudes, nothing snags, nothing wears out unnecessarily.
Its patinated leather prevents it from looking austere: it has the appearance of an object you might have inherited, rather than an accessory fresh out of the box.
Organizing your card holder
1
Slide your bank card into the most accessible front slot.
2
Distribute your other cards between the slots on both sides.
3
Place less frequently used cards or a folded banknote in the central pocket.
4
Store the case in a front or interior pocket; it won't create a bulge.

Note: the aged look of the leather is intentional: marbling, light areas, and nuances are part of NICK's charm and vary from one piece to another. Do not overstuff it to preserve the tension of the slots.

Frequently asked questions
How many cards can fit in the NICK?
The NICK card holder features slots on both sides and a central pocket. It holds everyday essentials: bank card, ID card, driver's license, travel card, and a few loyalty cards. One card per slot ensures easy access and maintains the leather's tension; the central pocket holds a few extra cards or a folded banknote. To keep the case thin and avoid stretching the leather, stick to the cards you actually use.
What are the dimensions of the card holder?
NICK measures 10.6 x 7.2 cm, which is barely more than a standard bank card. Its flat profile allows it to slip into a shirt pocket, front jeans pocket, interior jacket pocket, or small bag without creating a bulge. It has no folds or closures, making it even thinner than a folded wallet. Its thickness depends solely on the number of cards you keep inside. It's the ideal size for days when you want to travel light.
Is the leather genuine?
Yes. According to our supplier's information, the NICK card holder is made of cowhide. This dense, durable leather stands up to the repeated friction of cards against slot edges. It is treated to present an aged look, with lighter areas, marbling, and highlights that give the card holder a vintage character right out of the box. Over time, it continues to evolve and develop a patina based on your daily use, making every piece unique.
What is the difference between the colors?
All five versions share the same shape, dimensions, and storage. Only the leather shade changes. In our photos, Brown is a vintage brown with light highlights; Coffee is a grayish brown, almost taupe; Gray is slate with bluish highlights; Black is a nuanced black; and Red is a fine-grained brick red. Choose Black or Brown for a classic style, Gray or Coffee for an original touch, and Red to assert your personality.
Why does the leather have nuances?
The NICK's leather is intentionally treated to offer an aged effect, or patinated look. Lighter areas, marbling, and slight variations in tone are not defects: they are part of its vintage charm. Since it is a natural material, each card holder has its own unique nuances, and no two are exactly alike. With use, the leather continues to patinate and gradually takes on the imprint of your daily life.
How do I maintain the card holder?
Dust the NICK regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid getting it wet; if an accident happens, wipe it off and let it dry naturally, away from heat sources. Once or twice a year, a small amount of nourishing leather cream, tested beforehand on an inconspicuous area, will maintain its suppleness. Do not use alcohol or household products. Also, avoid forcing multiple cards into a single slot, as this will permanently stretch the leather and cause cards to slip out.
Is it a good gift idea?
Yes, NICK is a small gift that is useful, elegant, and accessible. It is suitable for all ages: student, young professional, father, colleague, or friend who enjoys minimalism. Its five colors allow it to be adapted to any taste, and its aged leather gives it character that sets it apart from ordinary card holders. It is easy to give for a birthday, Secret Santa, or holiday, and can complement a more significant gift, such as a watch or bag.
