Black Stingray Bifold Wallet with Beige Cowhide Lining
SKU: 2440
Open this bifold in dim light and dark cards remain easy to identify, because the interior is pale beige cowhide behind a black stingray exterior. A clear ID window sits on a beige panel overlapping the left side, ready to display a license without removing it. The Black Stingray Bifold Wallet with Beige Cowhide Lining measures 4.5″ × 3.75″ × 0.8″ closed. Inside are 10 card slots, two clear ID windows and a dual bill compartment.
Who This Is Actually For
If you show ID several times a day — the window panel lies directly on top when the wallet opens, so a license is visible immediately. Best for anyone passing through checkpoints, front desks or security gates.
If black interiors make your cards disappear — black and navy cards stand out clearly against the beige cowhide. The pale interior turns finding the correct card into a quick visual check.
If your wallet rides in a front pocket — the closed wallet measures only 0.8″ thick. There is no snap, strap or metal anywhere, so nothing on the shell can snag a pocket edge. Best for slim-fit jeans and everyday office pants.
What It's Like to Carry (The Honest Take)
The exterior is a dense field of tiny rounded beads in charcoal black. Near the center of the front panel, a short cluster of white pearl beads breaks the pattern. One oval bead sits in the middle of that cluster, noticeably larger than its neighbors. Bead size also varies across the hide: the smallest beads gather toward the edges, while larger, more irregular beads surround the pearl.
A trail of smaller gray beads continues from the cluster toward the outer edge, gradually fading into the black. The back panel carries no pearl marking. No seam interrupts the hide where it bends at the spine, and every outer edge is finished in black.
Inside, the beige cowhide is smooth, with fine stitching in matching thread along every compartment. The ID panel covers most of the left side, and its window shows a dark woven backing until a card is inserted. The right panel carries horizontally stacked card slots in the same pale leather.
There is no closure mechanism of any kind. Nothing holds the bifold shut except the fold itself, which keeps the profile clean. The burgundy bifold in this collection also offers two ID windows. Its exterior is wine-red, though, and its pale pearl patch sits on the back panel.

Questions You're Probably Asking
Can I attach a wallet chain to it?
No. This bifold has no grommet, snap, strap or zipper anywhere on it. The 4.5″ × 3.75″ body is genuine stingray outside and beige cowhide inside, with black-finished edges and nothing metal. For chain carry, choose a wallet with a built-in grommet from our biker range.
What is the dark panel behind the ID window?
A dark woven backing behind the clear pane. With the window empty, it shows as a brown-black rectangle on the beige panel. Once a license or ID card goes in, the card covers that backing completely. The panel holding this window overlaps the left side of the 4.5-inch-wide interior, with additional card slots beneath it.
Is there a seam where the wallet folds?
No. The black stingray bends over the spine as a single section, and the bead pattern follows that curve without interruption. Only the front panel carries the white pearl line. A black finish seals all four outer edges of the 4.5″ × 3.75″ shell, matching the beads.
