- [Reviewer] I’ve got the Andar Apollo wallet to show you.
Andar took the best features
from their existing sought-after wallets,
and packed that all into the Apollo wallet,
so let’s take a look.
Andar’s new wallet features
some amazing quality materials,
and keeps your credit cards safe from digital theft.
They actually sent me three Apollo wallets.
Two different colour crazy horse leather wallets,
and one special cork wallet.
At the time of making this video,
the Andar Apollo wallet is available for pre-order,
and ships August the 21st 2019.
So maybe you can be one of the first
to own this new minimalist wallet,
from the Andar collection.
A thank you card, It’s nice to be appreciated.
You get a great looking simple card box and pouch.
It looks fantastic if you’re buying this
as a gift for someone else.
Oh yeah, this packet is unmarked,
but I know it’s got three cord burritos inside.
Maybe you can guess what that is
before I show you at the end?
The feel and smell, and weight,
are what you notice first.
It immediately presents as a very high quality product.
The core appeal for buyers, I’d guess,
is this high quality, durable, full-grain leather.
Available in five colors, this one is dark brown,
I’ll show you the black and the cork Apollo wallets too.
The material is Crazy Horse leather,
and it really stands out.
It’s coated with a special wax,
and gains character over time, as it’s worn,
changing color and appearance,
giving you a rugged authentic glossy mature look.
It’s commonly used in horse saddles,
and sometimes called saddle leather.
You can fit up to 10 credit cards, debit cards,
or ID cards, or a combination of those.
Storage is smart and functional.
Cards in this outer pocket are easily thumbed out.
On the reverse this curious pull tab.
Took me a while to figure out which card this ejects.
It goes here, which is kinda hidden.
This design feature is borrowed
from the Andar Monarch wallet,
and that works really great
for another fast access card.
Taken from the Andar Freeman wallet,
is the ID window.
With no clear plastic window to be scratched,
it also allows you to easily push
your ID card back out when needed.
Two more inner pockets on this side.
The Apollo protects all of your cards
from unwanted RFID reading.
That protects your credit card data,
so it can’t be stolen wirelessly
with card skimming devices.
Keeps you safe when you’re out and about.
Next we have a money clip
like what’s used in the Andar Baron wallet.
So I’ve got about 12 or 13 bills here.
You can actually stash a big wad of notes
comfortably when needed.
The clip doesn’t double as a pen by the way,
I tried that already, it doesn’t pull out,
they’re just teasing us there.
And that’s not testing the wallet at all.
So already there’s a real focus on usability.
It springs open a little,
I think It would benefit from a pull-over elastic strap.
Next the Apollo cork wallet.
A fantastic material choice with a trick up its sleeve.
All the same features and storage capacity,
still with RFID protection.
Cork bark is a sustainable material,
that can be harvested every nine years
without harming the tree.
It’s not brittle like a bottle cork.
In fact is super durable and elastic.
It’s naturally water-resistant,
with no special treatments.
Not waterproof, it dampens a little,
but dries really fast and protects the contents.
Great if you want a vegan option.
It’s fantastic that Andar promote inclusion for all buyers.
Here’s something your regular wallet
probably doesn’t do.
Cork floats pretty good!
That could be valuable if you do a lot of outdoor activities.
For discloser, Andar got the wallets
to me for free, to test.
If you use the link in the description,
and discount code,
you can get 15% off Andar wallets.
If you buy a wallet,
I earn a small fee at no extra cost to you,
that helps me make more new content.
Here’s a look at the Andar Apollo in black.
Other colors include, tan, saddle brown,
and olive gray, pretty smart I think.
The Andar branding is especially cool,
and sets off the wallet really well.
Which of the wallets shown today would you choose?
Will it be one of the Crazy Horse leather wallets,
or the Cork wallet?
The wax coating used on the Crazy Horse leather,
also make it extremely weather-resistant,
protecting the leather from the elements.
In fact, In the same water test we did earlier,
the Crazy Horse Leather performs convincingly.
We can see the water immediately beads,
and runs off, keeping the wallet dry.
I saved the burritos till last!
So what the heck is this?
You get three different colors.
This is the Burrito combo,
you use them for cable tidies,
and they help you stay organized in style.
I hope to have some new Andar products
to show you soon,
so hit subscribe and don’t miss that.
If you subscribe already,
thanks for helping me to 1000, see you.
