Wallets and card holders

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.
