Wallets and card holders

Leather wallets and card holders from Goyard, Chrome Hearts, Louis Vuitton and more.

Wallets and card holders carry your cards and cash: a flat card holder for a front pocket, a folding wallet for notes and coins. Coated canvas, grained calf leather and jacquard keep their shape in a pocket, and a dark colour hides wear.

Goyard and Louis Vuitton both began as trunk makers in Paris in the eighteen fifties, and the coated canvas of their trunks now covers their card holders and wallets. Chrome Hearts, founded in Los Angeles in the late eighties, makes silver money clips, wallet chains and leather card cases.

Slip a card holder into the front pocket of jeans or the inside pocket of a jacket, and keep a long wallet in a bag. Utopia in Toronto carries Goyard, Louis Vuitton, Dior and Chrome Hearts, some of it pre owned, and Due West adds card holders and wallets from A.P.C., Porter and Walk in Paris.

Common questions

What is the difference between a wallet and a card holder?

A card holder is a flat sleeve with a few slots for cards and a pocket for folded notes. A wallet folds open and holds notes, coins and more cards.

Is Goyard canvas leather?

No, Goyard's chevron print is on a coated canvas that resists water and scratches. Its card holders and wallets are trimmed in leather.

How do you carry a wallet with tailored clothes?

Keep a thin card holder in the inside pocket of a jacket so the front stays flat. A thicker wallet belongs in a bag, or in a back pocket on a chain.
