Travel is a handmade leather travel wallet that carries your passport, your cards and
your cash. At passport control you pull out one piece instead of going through a bag. Made
in brown and black, suitable for women and men.
Genuine Leather Passport and Travel Wallet Features
A sleeve that takes two passports
Travel has a dedicated passport sleeve holding 2 passports. A US
passport measures 5" x 3.5" (12.5 x 8.8 cm) and the wallet is 5.9" x 4.1" (15 x 10.5 cm), so two
books sit in there without forcing. A boarding pass goes into the same sleeve, and everything comes
out in one movement at the gate.
A plain open form
Travel has no flap, no snap and no magnet: it is a simple bifold. It opens in one motion, which is
what you want when you are holding a bag in the other hand. If you would rather have a closure,
Afife is the magnetic version of the same idea.
Two card slots and a separate cash section
There are 2 card slots holding 3 to 4 cards, and behind them a
separate cash section so notes never end up shuffled among the cards. Bills go in
folded.
Your name on it, if you want
Name embossing is free. You give the name when you place the order. For someone
about to travel it makes an obvious gift, and the wallet comes out of the box with their name
already pressed into the leather.
Travel Wallet Dimensions and Material
Travel is made in brown and black. The brown runs deeper than it first looks; the black reads
more formal on a business trip. There is an embossed salamander on the cover, contrast tan
stitching along the edge and a wave cut across the card slots. Because the surface is never sanded
down, every Travel carries the grain of the hide it came from.
Full-grain leather: the topmost, densest-fibered layer of the hide, its surface
never sanded or thinned. Over the years it darkens rather than wears out, and the small scratches
of daily use largely disappear when you rub them with a finger.

What Fits in the Travel?
- Passports: 2, in the sleeve, alongside a boarding pass
- Cards: 3 to 4 across 2 slots
- Bills: in the separate cash section, folded
- Phone: no
- Coins: no
An honest limit: Travel is deliberately simple, which means it has
no closure at all. Nothing falls out because the sleeves are cut snug, but if you
want a wallet that shuts, Afife closes magnetically. Card capacity is
also modest at 3 to 4; this is a document wallet rather than an everyday one. If
you want a passport wallet that also carries a full set of cards,
Nord takes 8 to 10.
How to Pair the Travel
-
At the airport: passport and boarding pass together means one hand free at
the desk, which is the entire point of the format.
-
With luggage: in the outer pocket of something like
Gentilbag, it stays reachable without opening the bag.
-
The Semender pairing: use Travel with
Travelbag: documents in hand, the rest on your shoulder.
Travel Wallet Care
- The leather darkens and gains character over time. That is not a flaw, it is patina
- Wipe it with a dry cloth and apply leather balm once a month (every two to three months for occasional use)
- Keep it in the cabin rather than a checked bag; leather does better out of the pressure and
temperature swings in the hold
- If it gets wet, let it dry on its own at room temperature. Radiators and hair dryers stiffen

Frequently Asked Questions
Does a US passport fit, and how many?
Two. A US passport measures 5" x 3.5" (12.5 x 8.8 cm) and Travel is 5.9" x 4.1" (15 x 10.5 cm), so two books sit in the sleeve without forcing. A boarding pass goes in alongside them.
What is the difference between Travel, Afife and Nord?
Closure and card capacity. Travel takes 2 passports with no closure and 3 to 4 cards, in two colors. Afife takes 2 passports with a magnetic flap and up to 6 cards. Nord takes 1 passport with 8 to 10 cards and two cash compartments. Same job, three answers.
It has no snap. Will things fall out?
Not in normal use: the sleeves are cut snug and the passport itself holds the wallet shut. It is an open bifold by design, so it opens in one motion. If you would prefer a wallet that closes, Afife has a magnetic flap.
How many cards does it hold?
Three to four, across two slots. Travel is a document wallet rather than an everyday one, so the card capacity is deliberately small. If you want a passport wallet that carries a full set of cards, Nord takes 8 to 10.
Does it block RFID?
We do not make that claim. Travel is plain leather with no RFID-blocking layer, and we would rather say so than imply protection the wallet does not provide. If RFID shielding matters to you, buy a wallet that specifies it.
Can I have my name embossed on it?
Yes, and it is free. You give the name when you place the order and it is pressed into the leather rather than printed on top, so it ages with the surface. Note that a personalized wallet cannot be returned for a change of mind.
Travel is the one thing you keep in your hand from the taxi to the gate.
