THE ALL-ROUNDER
Fit your cash, coins and up to 11 cards in a slim profile. The Bellroy Note Sleeve (RM409) stores flat bills, has quick-access slots for cards and a storage area with a convenient pull-tab for less used cards. There’s even a coin pouch that doubles as a business card protector.
THE NOTEBOOK CARRIER
The Bellroy Laptop Brief 15 inch (RM909) is a tailored solution for your laptop and notes, so you can take your under-the-arm meeting essentials and carry them in a slim, modern brief.
THE HANDYMAN
The Victorinox Tinker pocket knife with Phillips Screwdriver (RM99) is the knife for tinkers on the move. You never know what you'll encounter out there, but you know that you and your Tinker pocket knife will always be ready to build, hack or fix anything.
