In addition, the rear slot is laser-cut into the leather and had a straight, smooth edge, and also had a small circular cutout at either end to provide stress relief when loading it with cash or cards-a nice touch. The edges are said to be oil-coated to cut down on fraying of the material. The stitching of the Dash 3.0 was excellent in all locations that I could see. To be honest, I’d really wanted to try out one of the Vegetable Tanned leather versions, but the Saffiano leather’s thinness and durability grew on me over time. To me, it has a bit of a synthetic leather feel (remember pleather?), which is one of the complaints that some people have about it. As can be seen in the image above, the surface of the Saffiano leather is somewhat dimpled or dappled in a cross-hatched pattern. It tends to be used in business bags and briefcases but is also used on handbags, purses and other items. Turns out that it is a type of leather that has undergone a stamping process that makes it more scratch and stain resistant. I had no idea what Saffiano leather was, so I did some online investigations. I was sent a Saffiano leather version in black color for review. Through the Kickstarter campaign, the Dash 3.0 is available in two materials, Saffiano leather and Vegetable Tanned leather. …and on the other side a short description of the Dash 3.0’s construction and features.

Steven has since created a website,, to continue to sell his products after the conclusion of their respective Kickstarter campaigns. Both campaigns featured thoughtfully-designed minimalist slim wallets. His next campaign, the Dash 2.0, raised an even more impressive $76,000+ compared to its $10,000 goal.

If you’re not already convinced, The Dash Slim Wallet has 158 reviews with over 98% of them being at least 4 or 5 stars. I recommend this wallet for people who are looking for a great minimalist wallet, a great price, and all within a highly attractive and well-built wallet.
Not only this, but you can also get 15% off your order by subscribing to Dash’s messenger list which can further bring this already affordable wallet even cheaper. Its minimalist size is compact and comfortable to carry, while still retaining decent storage of cash and cards.Ĭoming in at only $20.00 Dash and stood to their core principles in providing great wallets at an affordable price for all. Their craftsmanship, and use of vegan leather, make for not only a wallet that can last the test of time but also is more sustainable than other wallets on the market. Overall, taking into account the affordability of this wallet I was absolutely delighting with the sheer quality of the Dash wallet. Let’s now go on to talk about what the Dash wallet can offer you in terms of functionality. It took a little while to get used to the roughish texture on the wallet, but this quickly became the norm as it actually provided additional grip to the wallet in use and a more tactical feel.
Overall I like the minimal design of the wallet and the material is both durable and functional in nature. It wasn’t unpleasant to handle by any means and added to the wallets durable and flexible enough to easily move cards and cash in and out with ease. The material is a little rough to the touch with a texture that resembles a cat’s tongue (it’s the only example I could think of), but obviously not as rough as that. One thing to note is the texture of the Saffiano Leather. Coming in two colors, either black Saffiano or Espresso Saffiano (a dark brown), the wallet has a timeless look, one that will both stand out in a crowd but also never go out of fashion. The wallet itself has a very classy and modern look to it.
Again, this makes the Dash range of wallets perfect for people looking for a more sustainable choice and one not negatively impacted by the Leathercraft industry.
