Secrid Miniwallet Crisple Kelp

The Secrid Miniwallet Crisple Kelp combines an aluminium cardholder with a leather wrap and press-stud closure. This green MC-Kelp version suits someone who wants direct access to cards while also carrying banknotes, business cards or receipts. The metal case and the outer wrap provide different kinds of storage, with separate capacities worth considering before choosing your wallet.

Cards in the case, documents in the wrap

The Cardprotector mechanism slides the cards out in one movement. You can reach the cards inside the case without opening the leather cover, keeping that space available for the cards you use regularly. The outer wrap holds additional cards and paper documents, then closes with its press stud. This arrangement separates the rigid card compartment from the more flexible outer storage.

The case holds a maximum of four embossed plastic cards or six flat plastic cards. Capacity therefore depends on the kind of cards you carry, rather than their number alone. Up to four extra cards fit in the outer wrap. The advertised maximum of ten cards means six flat cards in the case plus four outside; it does not mean that ten cards fit into the sliding mechanism.

Choosing the Crisple Kelp version

Crisple identifies the textured leather finish of this Miniwallet, while Kelp identifies its green colour. The aluminium case and leather wrap make this a different choice from a standalone Cardprotector. Choose the wrapped construction when paper matters too: banknotes, business cards and receipts have somewhere to go outside the rigid compartment intended for cards.

Secrid describes the case as protecting cards against bending and unwanted RFID communication. This function concerns cards stored inside the Cardprotector. It should be distinguished from the wallet’s outer storage, which adds capacity and keeps documents separate. Deciding which cards belong in each part helps you use the available space according to its purpose.

Separate care for leather and metal

According to Secrid, the leather does not need regular maintenance. The manufacturer classifies this version’s wrap as water repellent. If it needs cleaning, use a damp cloth without polish. If the wrap becomes wet, gently pat it with a soft cloth and let it dry completely before using the wallet again.

Clean the Cardprotector with a soft cloth and soap, then rinse it with warm water. After contact with seawater, Secrid recommends rinsing the case with fresh water. Wait until the mechanism is dry before use. These instructions distinguish cleaning the metal case from caring for its leather covering.
