Bellroy's Philosophy of Design





Bellroy is a brand that just keep on delivering the goods. I remember when we saw their first offering - a simple slimmed down wallet; a really neat idea, but I did wonder how much further that could go.

The fact that they were constantly releasing new versions of that first wallet, and expanding into a range of different sizes + systems, revealed something of Bellroy’s philosophy. These guys are led by design; with each new and updated product a testimony to their focus on combining style, efficiency, and practicality.


Phone case c/o Bellroy

Their new leather phone cases are a case in point. They’re protective (exactly what you want for an expensive phone) and hold 1-3 cards, cash, and an extra sim-card. All of that storage and they’re still sleek, neat, and remove many of those extra millimetres that come with an ordinary phone case.

It’s such a great idea. How many cards do you actually need to carry in a day? Three at most? The phone case was perfect for hot-footing it around Edinburgh the other week. Bags left in the hotel, one phone, a couple of cards, and some of Scotland’s ace looking money tucked in the case - perfect! Now, if only they could come up with a way of slimming down my laptop case...

  4. I love that case! It would be so handy in NYC. I was always having to whip out my metro card and it was a pain to keep track of which pocket/bag/wallet I had it in.

  9. Sleek ain't it? I really like the design and it's so useful reducing your day-to-day travel to just one item.

  10. Yeah, some of the cases for iPhones make it too large. This one is definitely slim! Which helps on the iPhone 6 - as it's pretty big anyway!

  11. It's very cool. An Oyster card for the London tube is a useful thing to stick in there...

  12. Exactly what happens to me in London with the Oyster card! This is much more useful than it floating around in various pockets...

  13. Love it, very cool design (especially the thin aspect of it! for fitting in pockets.)
    Also - I LOVE Scotland's money, and agree it is beautiful! Glad I'm not the only one goin' around appreciating the bills of various places!
