It’s 2025. The ball has dropped, resolutions are made, and somewhere in the chaos, you’ve decided this is the year to simplify. But while you're tidying your home or clearing your inbox, let me ask you this: have you looked at your wallet lately?
Yeah, I’m talking about that overstuffed, leather brick in your back pocket. You know the one—it’s got receipts from 2017, three coffee punch cards you’ll never finish, and a couple expired Insurance cards. Let’s be honest: it’s time to break up with your grandpa wallet.
The Case Against the Bulky Wallet
Carrying a massive wallet isn’t just inconvenient—it can actually be bad for you. Sitting on a thick wallet day after day throws off your posture, leading to back pain, hip problems, and something called wallet sciatica. (Yes, it’s a real thing, and yes, it’s as uncomfortable as it sounds.)
Beyond the health risks, an overstuffed wallet screams disorganization. Do you really need that expired gym membership card or that crumpled Arby’s coupon? Slimming down your wallet means slimming down your life—starting with what you carry every day.
Meet Your New Wallet
At Hound Valley Goods, we craft wallets that focus on what matters—durability, functionality, and minimalist design that’s perfect for your front pocket. Here’s a closer look at your next wallet:

The Buck
The Buck is Hound Valley Goods flagship model. It's a front-pocketable wallet that is 1 piece of leather folded and sewn together. The result is a 3 pocket flap wallet with 2 quick-access pockets for your most used cards and a main bank for the rest of your cards and halved cash.
Wanna take it a step further? Check out The Stitchless Buck! It's the same concept, but stitchless, resulting in a more flexible wallet that can carry slightly more.

The Guster
The Guster is a vertical cardholder designed to keep your cards and cash secure without adding bulk. It also features 3 pockets. 1 quick access pocket in the back for your most used cards (1-2), a central pocket for 4-5 more cards, then a front pocket, which is perfect for a few quartered bills. This wallet is definitely designed with a cards first mentality. If cash is king for you, I'd recommend the Buck/Stitchless Buck above.

The Sirius
The Sirius is our most minimalist wallet yet—a streamlined card holder built for carrying up to 6 cards and some folded cash. Its ultra-slim design makes it disappear into your pocket, making it the ideal wallet for true minimalists who value lightweight, clutter-free everyday carry. 2 quick access pockets for your most used cards, and a central bank for cash and extra cards.
Why "New Year, New Wallet"?
A new year is all about fresh starts, and upgrading your wallet is an easy way to kick off your minimalist journey. By slimming down your everyday carry, you’ll:
- Eliminate unnecessary clutter from your life.
- Save yourself from back pain and bad posture.
- Carry only what truly matters.
Plus, let’s be real: a high-quality, handmade wallet from Hound Valley Goods just looks good. It’s time to trade in the overstuffed relic for something sleek, durable, and designed for the modern minimalist.
