secrid

Founded by the design duo René van Geer and Marianne van Sasse van Ysselt, Secrid merges industrial design with fashion in its range of pocket-sized essentials. The Dutch brand’s journey began in the 1990s, but it was the launch of the patented Cardprotector in 2009 that defined its path. This aluminum case, which protects cards from bending and unwanted wireless communication, features a mechanism that fans cards out for easy access. This innovation, which won a Red Dot Design Award in 2010, forms the core of all Secrid wallets. Entirely made in the Netherlands, Secrid demonstrates a profound commitment to social and environmental responsibility. Production is kept local to reduce transportation, and assembly is carried out in social workshops, providing employment to those with a distance to the job market. The brand, a certified B Corporation since 2022, uses high-quality European leather and offers a repair program to extend product life, embodying its philosophy of 'a better world starts in your pocket'. Its products appeal to a design-conscious audience that values security, durability, and a transparent production chain.
