Immensely important yet often overlooked, a good wallet has the potential to take on a major role both in your closet and your daily life. You’re probably well accustomed to thinking about your wallet in a broad sense, like “How much cash do I have on me?” or the ever-stressful “Where did I put my wallet?” Let us not forget, however, that the wallet itself is of nearly equal importance. Nearly.
From a keyring coin purse to an evening crossbody bag, there are no limits as to what it can look like, what it can do, or how long it can last. At its best, a wallet is much more than just the mini bag that lives inside your slightly larger work bag or the side pocket of your gym bag.
However, such potential comes with the caveat of indecision, and thus we present to you the ultimate guide to the best designer wallets your heart could desire. Do some thinking, whittle it down to your top pros, cons, colors, shapes, and sizes, and get shopping. Scroll on for the 18 best wallets for women.
