The Pick: Spring clean your pockets this season

A motto for our time, the ‘less is more’ philosophy is never more relevant than when applied to the things we carry. Opting for a cardholder encourages a paring down to the essentials: debit card, travel card, business cards if you carry them. With Dunhill’s Belgrave holder, you needn’t forgo cash either, as the gusseted pocket provides ample space for a few folded notes.

An overly thick wallet is not only uncomfortable to carry, but will break the clean line of a tailored trouser leg. As the material is stretched, friction can also leave a worn, wallet-shaped patch over your pocket. Made in plush cross-grain leather, the Belgrave, on the other hand, has a distinctly slim silhouette, keeping it discreet in the pocket. The monogrammed logo adds a touch of old world luxury, while the contrasting burgundy interior keeps things fresh.

When it comes to an exchange of business cards, you’re unlikely to give off the right impression if you’re rifling through a wallet bursting with dog-eared receipts and casino membership cards. You’ll look far more debonair (and organised) when you produce this with a flourish.
