Secrid

Secrid is a Dutch wallet maker based in The Hague, founded in 1995 by Rene van Geer and Marianne van Sasse van Ysselt, who were running the design agency Spirid when cards began replacing cash in Dutch pockets. Their first minimal wallet, the Bodycard, dates from that year; the aluminium Cardprotector, which shields cards from RFID scanning and fans them out with one action, arrived in 2009 and became the signature product.

Production stays in Europe, with wallets assembled in Dutch sheltered workshops that employ people at a distance from the labour market, and the company is a certified B Corp. An Impact Fund, carbon offsetting and a care-and-repair service belong to the same model, and since 2022 the brand has run the Secrid Talent Podium at Dutch Design Week to give emerging designers a platform.
