The highest grade of leather combined with such a basic design shouldn't cost much more than $50 - anything above is just brand tax.
There are a whole bunch of small leather product companies making high quality stuff for low prices.
One of the first google results for instance:
https://wingback.co.uk/collections/card-holder/products/charcoal-card-holder

There are a bunch of others also.

I know, that's why I am asking for alternatives.
The problem is that even shit-tier companies think I want their logo on my shit + the designs are terrible.
I want a card holder that is (mostly) monochrome and plain

pic related is an example, sadly their shipping rates are retarded

It's weird I can swear I've seen a bunch of nice card holders before but now that I'm looking for them can't seem to find any.
Etsy seems to have a couple of potential ones if shipping prices aren't too high.

This tbqh. My Louis Vuitton x Fragment wallet just came in, it was 45€ shipped. Why buy a shit wallet for 50 when you can get a great quality fake one that looks good as well.

>>12888693
The seller usually marks it a low value and/or a gift to dodge customs. There's still a chance it'll get seized, but the chance is really small. Personally I haven't had any problems yet.

I wholeheartedly agree with this.

If you don't like fakes you could look for a local leatherworker, they sometimes sell great quality leather wallets for a decent price.

It's tacky H&M quality products marketed at basic girls and pajeets that don't know any better.
In the wallet the anon linked, you can clearly see it's cheap leather with a shitty printed pattern, and a garbage """"designer"""" label. Might as well buy something like:

OP here
I appreciate all the replies, but I am still looking for something like in this posts pic >>12888826
what I notice with the cheaper leather alternatives is that the leather looks unbelievably shitty
for example this here >>12891143
it's supposed to be minimalist, but the leather look gives me americana/mfa vibes
is there something out there that looks sleek/elegant (not classical london fedora menswear tier tho)?
at this point I don't even care about a cash compartment, just give me a sleek looking black card holder for a reasonable price and I am happy

Not sure what your budget or taste is, but depending on what you're into:
>SLP (personally owned a plain black non-zip one before I lost it and the leather is superb)
>Bottega Veneta
>Thom Browne
>Tom Ford
>Goyard (bit flashy, but not as bad as LV or Gucci)
>Cartier
>Hermés
All make really nice, high end leather goods. If none of those are within your budget
>CDG zip arounds (not really a card case but decent quality)
>Montblanc
>Bellroy
>Common Projects
>APC
>Acne
All make decent quality products, a step down in price from my top list.
If those are still too pricy, I'd seriously just focus on something with minimal branding and cheap like, where at the very least you know you're not paying for a trashy brand.

Nina has cheaper items and lower quality but still better value. Darcy is more expensive but overall better quality. Check the item you want and message the seller on WeChat.

Hate to say it, but r/fashionreps and r/designerreps on reddit. Read reviews, use the search bar for brands you want and see what's available, what others have bought, what's good etc. Reddit is terrible but sometimes it's worth it when you get stuff for dirt cheap.

I could never justify the insane price for a piece of cloth or leather so I settled for shit brands. It's a whole new world when you suddenly have access to the nice designer stuff that actually looks good as well. Funny how chinese fakes are usually better quality than the shit they sell in retail stores. Enjoy, anon.
