In the 1990s the founders of Secrid were running their design agency Spirid when they noticed a shift in the content of our pockets as the first electronic payment systems were introduced in the Netherlands. In 1997 they developed their first wallet, the Secrid Bodycard, and from there they found success, developing techy wallets with classic design notes and subtle branding. It was in 2009 that they released their patented Cardprotector, which uses an aluminium casing to recude the signal of your card's radio signal, and to protect you from digital pickpockets. All of their products are made in Holland.
