Urby’s Limited Edition Passport Holders – A Traveller’s Delight

Be it hectic work trips or leisure travel on holidays or an unprecedented love to explore – TRAVEL has become a part and parcel of our daily lives. With increase in transport accessibility and better opportunities, people are almost always on-the-fly (quite literally!). And to make the travel hassle-free, we are always in the need of good travel accessories. So today, I present to you one such option for PREMIUM QUALITY travel accessories (passport holders, wallets, card holders etc), at decent affordable prices.

I recently partnered with URBY – An upcoming brand for premium quality travel accessories. Their products range from travel utilities like bags, wallets, passport holders, toiletry bags, luggage tags, cufflink boxes, card holders and many more.

As a token of collaboration, I received one of their limited-edition passport holders and what a delightful piece it is!

Urby’s Limited Edition Passport Holder : First Impression

They send it in a very professional packaging, with a classy touch. A hard-bound box, with the leather passport-holder neatly stacked in a canvas drawstring pouch, makes the parcel look so complete already. Well, we should never judge a book from its cover, but we can definitely create a first impression! And the packaging will definitely set your mood.

I was given an option to choose from the plethora of options offered at Urby and I selected – Daisy Brown.

Urby’s Limited Edition Passport Holder : Product Review

PLUS POINTS :

• Even though I’m not an expert in identifying pure leather, but this one’s quality is really good.
• The stitches are intact and sturdy – This was a huge relief for me! Generally, the slots in regular passport holders, tend to wear and tear with a bulk load of cards and other necessary documents. But this one is sturdy.
• The compact passport holder has multiple slots, which makes it convenient for travellers like me, who tend to fit in last minute cash or handy travel cards.

• The most amazing cosmetic aspect for me was – the logo of URBY is towards the inside of the passport holder, unlike most other brands who shout out their brand names loud and clear from the top cover.
• Good value for money – Considering that the products are of premium quality, they are available at a much better price than the regular market price in India. This is because of their advanced retail model of business.
• They provide an option for unique gifting ideas individually and even offer catalogs for corporate gifts.
• They sent a beautiful customised version, with my name engraved on the Passport Holder. You can make your product truly unique, by personalising it with your initials, name or any message, in your choice of foil colour.

RECOMMENDATIONS TO IMPROVE :

I am quite satisfied with my customised piece, but it is always better to take some additional opinions to gauge any product (especially for a review). So, after receiving this Limited-Edition Passport Holder, I decided to fleet this around and take some feedback from near and dear ones. The plus points are all same as the points mentioned in the above section. I’ll highlight a few common recommendations to improve here :

• Appearance – Some people specifically mentioned that the look is a little dull and rugged. So, maybe URBY can work more on the variety of designs and colours.
• More flexibility on personalization – Another common feedback was – asking for the customised name in the front, not on the inside. Maybe, customers can be given an option on where they want their names printed.
• Better branding – The quality of the product is good, but Urby needs to give more attention to the branding. For example – There should be better embossing of the brand name, the foil colour used for personalisation can be much better.

As far as I am concerned, dull & rugged and the customised name inside the holder, works fine for me! But yes, the branding can be improved. 

What Makes URBY special?

• They offer a 15-day, no-questions-asked return policy for all their products, except when they have been custom-made or personalised.
• All the products come with a 1-year, material and craftsmanship guarantee – They will repair your product for free within the first 12 months.
• They design and manufacture essentials for an urban lifestyle, using the most premium material and finest craftsmanship.
• By selling directly to you, they are working towards eliminating the middlemen; thus offering high quality products at non-luxury prices.
