protective wallets that keep your credit cards secure

Jetty Clutch Wallet

why is it so hard to find a great wallet? many designer wallets are stiff. heavy. unnecessarily bulky. and these days, way too many wallets are missing something absolutely essential if they don’t offer protection. so i knew i had to design something better for you (and me!). lighter. softer. plush. and, above all, with rfid-blocking protection to foil thieves who try to electronically scan your personal data without you even knowing. 

why anti-theft?

nowadays, most credit and debit cards (and even passports and IDs) have embedded radio frequency identification (rfid) chips to allow for contactless payments. very convenient. however, also very susceptible to hacking! someone could use a rfid reader to not only clone your card but steal your personal data. yikes. i don’t know about you, but i’ve heard enough horror stories to know that i don’t want to become one of them. enter: shortyLOVE anti-theft wallets. our wallets are designed to be a safe haven for your credit cards to give you peace of mind — smart by design, with rfid-blocking technology to deter identity theft. better safe than sorry.

how much do you need to carry?

i want you to find the right protective wallet for your needs – not hers, his or theirs. that starts with size. shortyLOVE offers two options:

the classic billfold 

like to keep it small? the merchant, with zip-around billfold styling, is your pick. measuring a petite 4 ¾” x 4 ¼”, it’s the perfect size to tuck into the pocket of most of our bags — from our heroic little marcel bucket bag to our oversized friday weekender. just zip it up and go! your interior: 4 credit/debit card slots, a full-length cash compartment and a snap-close coin pouch. ideal for a few credit cards and some cash.

the wallet-clutch

if you prefer something to hold your phone, cards, cash and a little more, our jetty is your wallet. it measures 4 ⅝” x 8 ⅛” to serve as a wallet and clutch. plus, it’s roomy, with no central divider that takes up precious space. this means you can zip up your phone, readers/sunnies and other whats-its with your cards. and speaking of cards, jetty has a generous six card slots. add in its slide-in bill compartment and zip coin pocket, and you have one surprisingly well-organized wallet! i love tucking this protective wallet into larger bags like tillie, but it’ll also fit right into your shortylove backpacks and medium/large crossbody bags.

high-quality, easy-care fabric

there was a time when every wallet was a leather wallet. thankfully, these days you have more vegan-friendly options. both our jetty and merchant are crafted with sleek, lightweight nylon twill. this adds as little weight to your day as possible, while offering a deliciously silky feel in the palm of your hand. because who said protective wallets couldn’t feel luxurious?

nylon is also famously water-resistant and durable. so if you accidentally splash some of that vanilla latte on your jetty wallet-clutch in the car, you can rest easy. shortyLOVE wallets spot clean with a little soap and water.

also made from silky nylon twill, the lining is just as luxe. your card will glide right out. and like all of our shortyLOVE bags, these rfid-blocking, protective wallets feature our signature blush color lining. this makes it easy to find what you’re looking for. it’s those clever details that make a difference!

pleasingly plush

our bags are all about comfort and a relaxed vibe. I kept that in mind when designing our anti-theft wallets it was important to me that they not only weigh next to nothing but feel soft. that’s why shortyLOVE wallets are designed with lightweight memory foam padding — structured to hold its shape.. that little squish? it’s intentional. it means your wallet will actually feel good in your palm. pleasingly plush. all without sacrificing the protective features wallets need.

but plush doesn’t mean bulky. merchant and jetty both feature a slim profile for easy carrying and no added bulk.

secure closure

you know those wallets that just sort of… fold closed? no snap. no zipper. you deserve better! safe wallets for credit cards must be, you know, safe. keep your essentials secure, even when you’re rushing through the checkout line. jetty and merchant are the protective wallets you never knew you needed. zip up and protect you, just like your fave jacket. the three-sided zipper of the merchant opens to lay fully flat in your palm. and its interior coin pouch snaps closed to keep your coins safe. so smart. as for the jetty, this cutie zips closed and opens wide for easy access to your credit cards, phone, lip gloss and whatnot. 

all in the details

i designed my protective wallets with the same attention to detail as the rest of my bag collection. i mean, think about it… wallets hold the necessities of daily life:your ID, credit cards and cash. they deserve a little more thought! for the jetty, i designed in a gusset to add dimension and space — just like an actual, dedicated clutch. so there’s just the depth you need for your phone or sunglasses. and that chunky metal zipper? it also delivers that quality you expect from a high-quality, anti-theft wallet’s hardware.  the waxed cotton cord pulls on the zipper are the cherry on top! style and practicality!

topping it off: color

while i designed my wallets to be protective, i wasn’t about to sacrifice style for practicality. you can have both! so yes, i thought it important to offer two different styles of wallet, but i made sure you have a range of colorways to go with your shortyLOVE bag. you could keep it classic with a black or navy wallet. or you might discover your fave new neutral in army green (with pink trim) or khaki (with bright orange trim). or, spice up your life with leopard or green camo. you can’t go wrong! 

if coordinating colors isn’t your thing, then choose something unexpected. pick an anti-theft wallet to purposefully contrast with the color of your bag — that will instantly make your wallet easier to spot in your bag. a wallet is a necessity, sure, but that’s no reason to not have fun with color!

well-designed, protective wallets

people always comment when they see me with my eye-catching leopard jetty in hand — which is often! i probably sell more wallets when folks see them in the real world than i do any other way, because people can see for themselves that  wallets that are safe for credit cards can be hella stylish! so do yourself a favor and upgrade to a shortyLOVE wallet that can (secretly) help keep your identity safe..
