A Luxury Wallet Is the Low-Key Flex You've Been Waiting For
Picking out a wallet seems like a small thing—hell, a wallet is a small thing, physically—but which one you choose can be a pretty big deal. I'm not talking about it being some grand declaration of identity or anything like that (though if you'd like yours to be, by all means, go for it with something that speaks deeply to your personal aesthetics). Instead, I'm talking about the simple fact that this little bit of leather or canvas or what have you is going to be with you constantly, holding and protecting some very valuable stuff. And seeing as you only really need one, there's a decent argument to be made for investing in a luxury wallet.
What do I mean by "luxury wallet?" Basically, one that costs more than the amount of cash that will generally be residing within it. You can go big, or you can go really big, but you should be willing to lay down a few extra bucks while buying it so you can reap the rewards of carrying not just a wallet but the wallet—your perfect wallet—for months and years to come. You could opt for a designer billfold emblazoned with an instantly recognizable logo, or a slim and subdued card case that only whispers luxury. You could choose buttery-soft leather or hard-wearing coated canvas or even a combination of the two. And if you're really feeling bold, you could get yourself something louder than any piece of clothing you'd dare wear, something with a bold-as-hell pattern or print that's a crowd-pleaser, for sure, but is mostly just for you. Whatever you do, though, start with one of the 18 options on this list.
