Red Stingray Row Cross Bifold Biker Wallet in Black Cowhide
SKU: 1797
A red stingray gothic cross occupies most of the front of this black cowhide bifold. Along its long arm, a continuous row of oversized white pearl beads travels from one end to the other. That pearl row gives the wallet its name. Closed, it measures 4″ × 3.5″, with hand-braided black lacing around every edge and a .925 sterling silver chain grommet positioned at the fold.
Who This Is Actually For
If you want color in a front-pocket size — the red cross and its white pearl row occupy most of a 4″ × 3.5″ face. On a bifold this compact, the decoration dominates the entire front. Best for riders who want the red stingray cross without a long wallet's dimensions.
If you still pay with paper currency — a bill compartment lined in black fabric extends across the full width. US currency folds in half to fit the 4-inch body. Best for a modest amount of folded cash alongside everyday cards.
If you keep your cards to a working stack — five card slots hold the cards you actually use. A coin pouch with a V-shaped flap occupies the opposite panel. Best for card-light carry that still requires a place for change.
What It's Like to Carry (The Honest Take)
The cross outline is unmistakably gothic. Its crossbar is positioned near one end, with each arm curling into a hooked tip, while the long arm narrows to a sharp point. A stitched black rim separates the stingray from the cowhide along every curve.
The pearl row deserves careful attention. Its white beads are noticeably larger than the surrounding red ones, approximately three across. They continue uninterrupted from the short end to the tip. Smaller red beads fill the remaining area on both sides of that line.
At 4 inches wide, the wallet is shorter than a US bill, so currency always folds once. The bill compartment is lined in black fabric, while the card slots and coin pouch are black pebbled leather. A narrow upright divider separates the two interior panels, and another slot opening sits behind the coin pouch.
Compared with the black version of this cross bifold, the red version is visible from considerably farther away. The pearl also behaves differently: here it forms a continuous row, whereas the black wallet displays a short white oval.
Turn the wallet over and the back is plain black pebbled cowhide. The braided lacing frames that panel as well, so the edge treatment is identical on both exterior faces.

Questions You're Probably Asking
What does "row" mean in the name?
It refers to the pearl row, the line of oversized white beads that develops along a stingray's spine. This cross is positioned so that row covers the entire length of its long arm, approximately three beads wide. Smaller red beads fill the remaining area on either side.
How does it compare with the red stingray gothic cross long wallet?
Both set a red stingray cross with a white stripe into black cowhide. The long wallet measures 7.5″ × 3.75″, closes with two concho snaps and keeps currency flat in three compartments. This bifold folds to 4″ × 3.5″, so currency folds in half, and it suits a front pocket.
Is 4 by 3.5 inches too small for a rider?
Not for a lighter carry. Five card slots carry everyday cards, the bill compartment takes folded currency, and the coin pouch handles change. A .925 sterling silver grommet at the fold still allows a chain connection. Riders who carry ten or more cards should consider a long wallet.
