Leather is the classic carteira material, and remains the overwhelming favorite among male carteira owners.

While leather is the best carteira material, at Junyuan Bags we bring you the best of the best—the highest quality leather, expertly assembled into designs that are proven winners.

2 — FOUR CARD BILLFOLD WALLET

The Four Card Billfold Carteira is a billfold alternative if you prefer a bit more room for cash and even coins. The extra space is created by cutting down on the card slots, with just four in this design.

This is a beautiful and minimalist billfold-style carteira that takes on the perfect back-pocket shape.

Here are the details for the Four Card Billfold Carteira:

Dimensions: 3.5” wide, 4” tall, 0.5” thick
Four card slots that can each fit two cards
Billfold cash pocket
Coin pouch that snaps shut securely

”Found my forever carteira. I was thoroughly impressed with the quality and craftsmanship of my 4-card in English Tan. It has the feel, the smell, everything you would want in your leather goods. I will be buying more products from Popov! 10/10!”

3 — FIVE CARD WALLET

Natural 5 Card Carteira

English Tan and Natural 5 Card Wallets

The Five Card Carteira is an absolute treat for minimalists. There’s a total of five card slots. That includes a front pocket for easy access—slide a card or some cash in and out while the carteira is still folded up.

With room for a few cards in each slot, this carteira can also hold around ten folded bills. If you like a slimmed-down carteira, you’ve got everything you need without a lot of bulky pockets and folds.

The product specs for the Five Card Carteira are as follows:

Dimensions: 4” wide, 2.9” tall, 0.4” thick
Four card slots that can each fit multiple cards
Quick-access front pocket

”Today, I received the 5 card carteira, and I was fully surprised. It is the best carteira I have ever had in my life. Keep up the great work, despite the demand.”

4 – TRIFOLD WALLET

English Tan Trifold

Natural Trifold

We use the word minimalist to describe our design style. That’s because our carteira styles don’t waste space. High quality materials and precisely planned shapes allow for an absence of bulk.

While we like to keep things tight and slim, we also know that some carteira users need a bit more storage space. To that end, the Trifold Carteira is more substantial in size. There’s more leather to patina, more leather to create that enticing aroma, more leather to love.

This design spans 9.8” in width when it’s unfolded. There’s room for all your cards and cash, plus an ID window. While it’s our largest style, it remains reasonably slim.

Full product details for the Trifold Carteira:

Dimensions: 3.45” wide, 4.25” tall, 0.75” thick
Four card slots and an ID-window that can each fit multiple cards
Wide cash pocket that holds up to 20 bills

“I am very pleased with the overall quality and workmanship of my new tri-fold carteira. I have about 10 cards so the filled carteira is a bit thick but since this has always been my carteira size I am used to it. The leather is beautiful, the stitching is solid and immaculate. Ordering was easy and shipping was timely. Highly recommend!”

5 — CARD HOLDER WALLET

Natural Front Pocket Card Holder

Black Front Pocket Card Holder

The Card Holder Carteira is another sleek, slim, and stylish take on minimalist carteira design. In fact, the Card Holder’s modest dimensions make it our smallest men’s carteira.

There’s a main pocket and an easy-access front pocket. The overall storage capacity is for around six cards along with some folded cash.

The contents are held snugly in place thanks to the design and material, but it’s easy to slide your cash and cards in and out. Slip a few cards into the main pocket and a few bills into the front pocket, and you’re good to go for a night on the town—with no uncomfortable bulk in your front or back pants pocket.

Here are the specs for the Card Holder Carteira:

Dimensions: 2.8” wide, 3.75” tall, 0.28” thick
Inner and outer pocket for storing up to six cards plus cash
For another take on minimalist carteira design, check out the ID Carteira. It’s a similarly slim design with a nifty ID window.

”Awesome! After a really long internet search, I finally stumbled over this minimalist card carteira and its design and simplicity immediately convinced me. I have now used it daily for several weeks and I couldn’t be happier.

The craftsmanship and material quality are excellent, it looks amazing, and the design is (for me at least) the perfect balance between simplicity, ease-of-use, and function.

It’s really easy to get to all the cards. I keep most of them in the main slot, my credit card in the quick access slot, and a bit of cash in the third slot.

It’s so simple but works so well—I don’t need more carteira than this! I’d highly recommend this outstanding product to anyone searching for a minimalist carteira.”
