The Minimalist Wallet designed by Grovemade offers consumers a sleek, stylish and durable place to keep only the necessities they need for everyday monetary use. The wallet is made from a [hard anodized aluminum outer shell](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dango-m4-wallet) that keeps cards and charge protected while taking up very little space in the wearer's pocket. This is ideal for consumers looking to reduce the amount of accessories they carry, while keeping the essentials on them at all times.

Unlike a conventional wallet that is typically made out of soft and supple material, the Minimalist Wallet features a design constructed from metal. The hardshell offers a sleek and thin compartment to keep up to five card as well as cash bills. The outer shell is then wrapped in [soft vegetable leather](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mvst-rfidblocking-alcantara-slim-wallet) for a more sophisticated and dapper aesthetic.
