Bellroy Travel Folio (Second Edition)
A zip-up folio for two passports, your cards and the customs pen
A zip-around leather travel wallet with RFID shielding. It holds 2 passports, a folded boarding pass, up to 8 cards, flat bills, a SIM card and the included micro pen.
Our take
The RFID shielding is the least important thing here. Skimming a passport or card from a distance is rare, and real theft is someone taking the whole wallet. What actually goes wrong at the airport is fumbling. Passport in one pocket, boarding pass in another, no pen for the arrival card.
The Travel Folio puts it all behind one zip. Two passports, a folded boarding pass, up to 8 cards, some flat bills, a spare SIM and a small pen for customs forms. That's handy for a couple where one person holds both passports. At 4.7 by 7.3 inches it's too big for most pockets, so it lives in your bag. And if your passport is a larger format, it zips inside but won't sit in the sleeves.
So it's a wash. Buy it if you like good leather and travel as a pair a few times a year. If you just want your passport organized, a basic zip pouch does the same job for much less, so save the money.
Who it’s for
Couples who travel together and want both passports, their cards and boarding passes in one zip wallet.
Skip it if
Skip it if you travel solo with one passport and a boarding pass on your phone. A simple passport cover or zip pouch is enough.
Bellroy Travel Folio (Second Edition): questions people ask
Do I really need an RFID-blocking passport wallet?
Most travelers don't. Skimming is rare, and pickpocketing or simply losing your wallet are far bigger risks.
Will the Bellroy Travel Folio fit two passports?
Yes. It holds 2 passports plus a folded boarding pass, up to 8 cards and flat bills. Larger-format passports zip inside but won't fit the sleeves.
Should I carry my passport with me while sightseeing?
Only if you need it. Many travelers leave it in the hotel safe and carry a copy, but some countries expect visitors to carry the real thing, so check before you go. When you do carry it, use a front or inside zip pocket.
