Contactless payment is getting more and more popular across the world, mainly because of their simplicity, convenience and shorter processing time. Nowadays, people often carry more cards than cash because cards are apparently more convenient to carry and use than cash. As a result, slim cardholder wallets are getting increasingly popular due to its sleek and slim design.


I received a Plankan Cardholder Wallet from Gaston Luga a week ago. The package was shipped from Estonia by DHL Express, and took only 2 days to arrive in Kuala Lumpur! That was really really fast!


Debossed with Gaston Luga logo pattern, this handmade leather wallet has been expertly crafted from high quality leather, which gives the wallet a stylish and glossy look. The leather is also extremely nice to touch and guarantee maximum durability.


Measuring 10.3 x 7.7 cm, the Plankan cardholder features 4 exterior card size slots and one inner pocket for cash (as many as 16 cash notes) or cards. In terms of capacity, it does not hold as much compared to your usual bulky wallet. Despite that, it is still able to keep all your essential cards and a good amount of cash well-organized without the bulk.

The design of Plankan is very minimalistic. It is lightweight and compact, without any unnecessary zips, lining or fastening - just perfect for everyday use. When packed with cards and cash, the wallet is still as slim as an iPhone. But it fits everything you need, and slides effortlessly into your tightest pocket.


The Plankan is available in two colors (black and brown) to fit any styles. It is a must have for every man and even woman. Some of the main features of the Plankan includes:

- Ability to hold 1 to 5 cards
- Give you everything you need without the bulk
- High quality leather gives a luxurious look
- Almost invisible in pocket due to its slim and lightweight design
- Easy access to your cards and cash

It is great for anyone looking for a slim wallet that is easily accessible, stylish and comfortable to carry in your pockets. The Plankan currently retails at RM 215. Price is not cheap but still fairly affordable for a handmade leather product. For my readers, you can my code "elinchow15" to get 15% off your order from Gaston Luga website.

A great news! Gaston Luga has recently launched a limited seasonal offer for the upcoming holiday season, where a free leather address tag will be added to every backpack order by a customer. Offer is valid while stock lasts, so hurry up!

No monetary compensation was received for this review and all opinions expressed were my own. Thank you Guston Luga for sending me this gorgeous wallet!
