Black Stingray Gothic Cross Bifold Biker Wallet in Black Cowhide
SKU: 1421
Folded, this black cowhide bifold measures 4″ × 3.5″, and a black stingray gothic cross stretches nearly edge to edge across its front. A long oval of natural white pearl beads illuminates the center of the cross. Inside are five card slots, two bill compartments and a snap coin pocket, with a .925 sterling silver chain grommet set into the fold.
Who This Is Actually For
If a long wallet is more than you need — this is the gothic cross from our 7½-inch long wallet, reduced to a pocket-sized bifold. The hooked crossbar, the tapering long arm and the pale pearl oval all carry over. Best for riders who prefer that cross but carry in a jeans pocket.
If your wallet rides on a chain — the sterling silver grommet is positioned in the fold near one corner. A chain therefore clips onto the spine of the wallet. Best for daily carry on a belt-loop chain, where the wallet comes out often and returns quickly.
If coins are part of your everyday routine — the right interior panel holds a coin compartment under an angled flap that closes with a snap. Change stays separate from the five card slots opposite. Best for anyone who still pays for coffee or parking with coins.
What It's Like to Carry (The Honest Take)
The cross and the cowhide are both black, so texture provides the contrast. The stingray is a dense field of tiny glossy beads. The surrounding cowhide has a coarser, irregular pebbled grain. A stitched black rim follows the outline of the cross, including every hooked tip of the crossbar.
The pearl oval is the brightest feature on the wallet. Its beads are largest and whitest at the center, then shrink and turn gray toward the edges before the black takes over. It covers the crossbar and continues roughly halfway along the long arm.
At 4 inches wide, the wallet is shorter than a US bill, so cash folds in half before it goes into either bill compartment. That is the trade-off for the compact footprint, and it is worth considering before you switch from a long wallet.
Compared with the red stingray cross on our row cross bifold, this black-on-black version lets the white oval carry all of the contrast. From a short distance, the cross registers as texture first and color second.

Questions You're Probably Asking
How much of the front does the cross cover?
Nearly the entire surface. The black stingray cross runs almost edge to edge across the 4-inch front, leaving a narrow margin of pebbled cowhide inside the braided lacing. Its hooked crossbar is positioned near one short side, and the long arm narrows to a point near the other. The white pearl oval fills its center.
How does it differ from the black stingray bifold with the four-armed cross?
Mainly in the cross outline. Both are 4″ × 3.5″ black cowhide bifolds with hand-braided lacing, a chain grommet and the same inside layout. That wallet's cross has four equal flared arms. This one has a hooked crossbar near one end and a long arm that tapers to a point.
How does it compare with the black stingray cross long wallet?
It is the identical cross, reduced in size. The long wallet carries this gothic outline and pale pearl oval on a 7½″ × 3¾″ body, so bills ride flat in three compartments. This bifold folds to 4″ × 3.5″. US bills fold in half to fit, and the wallet occupies far less pocket space.
