Get a Wally Micro for $10 with purchase
A front-pocket leather billfold — or pocket-sized revolution?
Super slim and more secure than ever, Wally Bifold lets you carry full card and cash capacity in a profile that fits comfortably in your front pocket. The latest and greatest version features Wally Pull-Tab™ card access, now with our MagLock™ card pockets and snap shut lay-flat design.
Not to be too dramatic, but Wally Bifold + MagLock™ is an absolute game changer.
Launched on Kickstarter about a decade ago with our signature Wally Pull-Tab design, Wally Bifold 5.0 now features MagLock squeeze-to-open card pockets and a snap-shut lay-flat design, plus a custom stainless steel money clip unlike any wallet out there. It's the Distil take on the traditional billfold—a design distilled to the essentials, with impeccable materials and clever innovations.

Completely compact - yet packed with features
All of your cards are easily accessible with Wally Pull-Tab™, and stay securely stowed within magnetic squeeze-to-open pockets. (Yes, they’re fun to play with. And no, the magnets don't interfere with your cards! We’d never do that to you or your plastic.)
"Think of the Wally as a bifold made for the modern-day, as it combines everything we love about the classic style (spacious storage, security, etc.) in a compact, pocket-friendly package."
"This just might be the perfect men's wallet. It's so thin, even with a dozen cards and several bills stuffed inside, that you might forget you're carrying it. The slimmest, most practical wallet you’ll find."
"Distil Union is all about the finesse of usability. Wally Bifold 5.0 and ModWallet impressed me for the security, major ease of use, flexibility and tight design elements."
"Part wallet, part money clip, and all sorts of functional for your everyday carry. The most practical wallet you'll ever use. The clever shape is made to fit comfortably in a front or back pocket, and without any of the bulge you'll find when using more traditional wallets."
"What I'd Change: Nothing. I was able to put a lot more cards and bills in the Wally 5.0 than my usual cardholder without added bulk. Even loaded with cards and bills, it maintains a slim profile and easily fits in my front pocket."
Frequently Asked Questions
No. The magnets don’t cross the plain of the magnetic field on the wallet closure. Tap to Pay is not susceptible to magnetic fields, and the chip in your card is not either. We’ve never had an instance where a Wally user has had the magnetic stripe on a credit or debit card go bad from using our wallet. Like the Apple wallet and other Apple magnetized products, this magnetic wallet is safe for cards.
An AirTag creates a pretty sizable bump in the wallet, which we find uncomfortable to sit on. Instead of an AirTag, we recommend a Rolling Square AirCard (which clocks in at 2mm thick vs. the AirTag’s width of 8mm). Tile and Chipolo have similar options that we like, too.
Wally Bifold was the very first pull-tab billfold of its kind—and it all started on Kickstarter back in 2014! Wally Bifold established a look that is now almost ubiquitous in wallet design, and it has “inspired” many similar options in the market. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right?
That said, the copycats have never matched our quality or construction. The Distil Wally Bifold is crafted from rich full-grain leather certified gold by the Leather Working Group (LWG), a non-profit “watchdog” that assesses a manufacturer's environmental compliance. Factors such as traceability, how the tanning process occurs, and how the manufacturer handles waste are all considered in the grading process. While we exclusively use full grain leather (which is the strongest portion of leather, where the fibers are the tightest), copycat wallets often use a lower grade that requires sanding off the top layer of fibers. We also roll the edges and stitch with reinforcements in all the highest-touch places.
And, with our secure MagLock® pockets, Wally Bifold 5.0 is improved and better than ever.
Sure. You can put coins in the card pockets, if that’s your thing. The pockets were not explicitly designed with coins in mind, but we've never heard of an issue from any user choosing to use it that way.
