We tracked Ekster's pricing for an entire year to find out when you'll actually save money.
You've probably seen the ads. Ekster wallets - sleek, minimal, with that satisfying card-ejecting mechanism. I spent months trawling through Wayback Machine archives of Ekster's website throughout 2025, cataloguing every single promotion, discount, and "limited time offer". If you're thinking about buying an Ekster wallet, this article with showcase when the best time to purchase an Ekster Wallet is and hopefully save you a few bucks along the way. Let's jump stright in.
Ekster is one of the most popular wallet brands on teh market to date. I’ve been buying and reviewing wallets for over a decade at this point and remember a time when Ekster helped change the game in producing modern, yet tradtionally styled wallets - it all started with the Ekster Parliament wallet. But a lot has changed since 2016, and as i often do, i’m continiouslly browsing wallet websites looking for the latest news, releases and info to share with you all here.
But one constant i found when browsing Ekster’s website was the sheer amount of offers and discounts they host throughout the year. This got me intrigued, with offers constantly being offered by Eskster when is actually the cheapest and best time to buy one of their wallets. So i got to work and used the wayback machine to scan through all the offers Ekster offered over a 1 year period, 2025, hence collecting valuable data that we can hopefully use to predict the best time of the year to pruchase an Ekster wallet.

Somethings to Note about this Data/Article
All pricing data and promotional offers referenced in this article are taken from the US version of the Ekster website during 2025. International customers may experience different offers - for instance, UK shoppers are unlikely to see 4th of July promotions, and pricing may vary by region.
Additionally, Ekster’s advertised discounts use “up to” language (e.g., “up to 54% off”). This means not all products receive the maximum discount. Individual items may be discounted at lower percentages during any given sale campaign. The prices quoted in this article refer specifically to the standard Ekster wallet and may not reflect discounts on other products in their range.
Prices are quoted in US dollars and were accurate at the time of data collection. Current pricing may differ. Sale periods and discount percentages are based on Wayback Machine archives and may not capture every promotional change throughout the year.

Is the Ekster Wallet ever ‘NOT’ on Sale?
The first pecular thing you might quickily release is Ekster wallets are never actually sold at full price - not really. It doesn’t matter what time of year it is, based on my data Ekster is always using some sort of holiday, whether its christmas or autumn, as an excuse to give a discount on all products on their website.
Now you might think this is a little bit shady, and you might be right. Here in the UK at least there’s specific laws and regulations regarding sale prices specifically the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008. It’s not a fun read i’ll tell you that much but the basic TL;DR is if you advertise something as “was £99, now £69”, that original price needs to have been the genuine selling price for a meaningful period. The guidance says a product should be sold at the higher price for at least 28 consecutive days in the previous 6 months.
Look, I’m not here to bash Ekster - this is only based on my own data collected. Different countries have different laws and regardless of whether you agree with what I consider an aggressive form of marketing, Ekster do create and sell fantastic wallets. But there’s definitely something to be said about calling out this sort of behaviour as it raises questions about whether the RRP of any product is genuine. It’s up to you to decide whether you think it’s fair to show a price for something that in reality is never sold for, thinking you’re getting a bargain or good deal, when in reality this isn’t the case.

The Ekster Discount Calender from 2025
Okay so with all that out of the way, lets actually look at some actual data. As I said earlier, this is all taken from the internet archive (wayback machine) which is a cool website that allows you to look back at what a website looked like on a specific day/year in the past. In this case, I took the most recent year gone - 2025. In 2025, Ekster ran 14 distinct holiday campaigns offering discounts ranging from 30% off up to 54% off certain products in their range. Now when I say 54% that doesn’t mean that every product is 54% cheaper. This is more of a ‘up to 54% off’ off, with the majoirty of products falling somewhere between this - please just keep this in mind. The table below showcases an overview of this data, when the campaign was ran, and what offer incentive was given.
| Month | Holiday | Discount |
|---|---|---|
| January | New Year | Up to 40% off |
| February | Valentines Day | Up to 30% off |
| March | Anniversary Sale | Up to 30% off |
| April | Spring Sale | Up to 30% off |
| May | Spring/Father’s Day | Up to 40% off |
| June | Father’s Day/4th of July | Up to 44% off |
| July | 4th of July/Summer Sale | Up to 44% off |
| August | Summer Sale/Labor Day | Up to 48% off |
| September | Labor Day/Fall Sale | Up to 48% off |
| October | Fall Sale/Halloween | Up to 37% off |
| November | Halloween/Black Friday | Up to 54% off |
| December | Cyber/Christmas | Up to 54% off |
So what can we deduce from this data?
So what does all this tell us? Well here are my deductions from the data I had avialable to me. The best deals follow a clear pattern. Black Friday through late December offers the deepest discounts at 54% off. If you can’t wait that long, Labour Day weekend in late August/early September runs a close second with 48% off. The 4th of July sale is also worth considering at 44% off, though it’s worth noting this American-focused promotion ran well past the actual holiday, extending into mid-July.
The worst time to buy is July through October, where discounts drop to 32-35% off. If you’re shopping in this window, you’re better off waiting a few weeks for Labour Day. Ekster runs near-constant promotions. Throughout 2025, there wasn’t a single week where the wallet sold at full price based on the data I have available to me. Sales transition seamlessly from one holiday to the next - New Year’s rolls into Valentine’s Day, which becomes the Anniversary Sale, then Spring, and so on.
If you need an Ekster wallet immediately, you’ll find a sale whenever you shop. But if you’re after maximum savings, Black Friday and Christmas offer the deepest discounts at 54% off. Labour Day at 48% off is your next best bet, and the 4th of July sale at 44% off rounds out the top three. Again, past deals and offers aren’t going to be same year on year. In 2026 for example, its unclear yet as to whether Ekster will stick to their constant offers, and whether they’ll be as high or even higher year on year. And for me, the biggest takeaway with all this is, just don’t buy in summer or early autumn unless you’re desperate - you’ll pay more for no good reason.
