Dm1 wallet5/7/2023 ![]() ![]() This opens the “mouth” of the DM1, and makes it very easy to add new cards. Once one card is in place, push it down with your thumb and then slide it out part way. Even though the titanium version was so much more expensive than the aluminum one, I’m a sucker for anything with metallurgical superiority, so I ponied up the extra cash for the 12-card titanium model, and also got the titanium money clip.Getting the cards into the DM1 was straightforward. (Although I must admit that the large one previously mentioned has held up reasonably well.)Enter the Decadent Minimalist DM1. You know what? I’ve noticed that I really don’t have to put many of those cards back into my wallet once I get back home, because I don’t use them that often.So this began my journey to investigate alternative wallet strategies that were more compact and, ideally, would last longer than the leather wallets I’ve gone through. The rest go into the top drawer of my nightstand. While that’s probably good from a pickpocketing perspective, it makes it difficult to deploy when you need it.Lately when I’ve been traveling internationally, I empty the wallet of most things that I don’t anticipate using on the trip, and pare it down to the bare essentials. It takes a lot of precision maneuvers to extract the wallet from the back pocket with those pants. It’s actually worked fairly well for the past 3 or 4 years that I’ve had it, although it’s a struggle if I’m wearing one of my suits, as those pants BARELY fit that large wallet. I could also slide several business cards into the two-compartment cash area. My last (conventional) wallet was a large, leather trifold wallet that held quite large quantities of credit cards and other assorted cards, cash, and had a window for a driver’s license.

It’s got an affordable price tag (coming in at $69.99 reduced from $99.00), a great overall unique look and design, and fairly quality use of materials ( made from titanium ). Overall, I found the Tribe Wallet one of the better plate system wallets on the market. It does require your wallet to hold at least 5 cards, but it’s a nice innovative take that shows the clever design of the wallet. One unique feature of the Tribe Wallet, not seen in other similar wallets, is its design that allows the wallet to prop up or is used as a stand or your smartphone. ![]() It’s clear Tribe Wallet is trying to target a certain demographic with wallets that has a clean minimalist look. The Tribe Wallet comes in a range of premium or luxury colors including the likes of black, carbon fiber, and rose gold. I’d recommend keeping cards to a minimum in a wallet such as this style. ![]() The more you store, the larger the wallets get. Theoretically, the wallet can store more cards than this, but at the determinant to the size of the wallet. In total, the Tribe Wallet can store up to 10 credit/debit cards, with a small amount of cash folded. Keep in mind cash will have to be folded to size to fit correctly. This is also where any physical banknotes (bills) would be store tucked underneath the strap. Holding the plates together is an elastic strap that’s both good quality and highly flexible allowing for easier, yet secure, access to these cards. It’s designed in a plate system, two titanium pieces of metal, the size of a typical credit/debit card, hold your cards securely in between for a slimline everyday carry experience. The Tribe Wallet is an affordable, yet premium-looking wallet that incorporates a minimalist size and attractive design. ![]()
