Why people end up with more than one
The picture is the point
Every case is a design first. The build is good — the reason you pick one is the image on it.
Slim, not bulky
Cigarette-case silhouette. Side clasps hold 6–8 cards and folded cash flat, and a push-button opens it one-handed.
Built to be carried
Metal body, polished chrome, glossy epoxy resin coat. It lives in a pocket, not a display case.
No picture at all
The engraved chrome line
Victorian scrollwork cut straight into polished chrome. For when you want the object without the artwork.
Smaller tin
The same artwork, pocket size
Why a tin
A wallet you do not mind being seen with.
Most card holders are a folded slab of black leather doing the minimum. This one is a chrome clamshell with a picture set behind the frame — Victorian prints, moths, tarot, cats with opinions.
You take it out five times a day, in front of people. It may as well be worth looking at.

FAQ
Questions, answered
How many cards does it hold?
Six to eight, plus folded cash and your ID. Internal side clasps hold the stack flat, so it keeps its shape whether it is full or nearly empty. Embossed cards take a little more room than flat ones.
Will it fit in my pocket?
Yes — it is a slim clamshell, about 7 mm deep. Standard is 4.0 × 2.2 in (10.2 × 5.5 cm); Large is 4.1 × 2.7 in (10.3 × 6.8 cm), roughly half an inch wider. Front pocket, back pocket or a small bag.
Is this a cigarette case?
No. It is a card case, and the silhouette is inherited — the Victorian vesta case it descends from was made for matches. We do not sell, promote or endorse tobacco, cannabis or controlled substances.
How fast does it ship?
Orders are processed within 1–2 business days, then 3–5 business days for US delivery — free over $50. You will get a confirmation email with tracking as soon as it is on its way.
What if it is not my thing?
Thirty days from delivery to send it back. Design is subjective and a photograph is not the same as holding one, so we would rather you returned it than kept something you do not like. Email hello@vestacarry.com with your order number.
