I had forgotten I have a small one I've used occasionally for travel, and I'm going to try using it daily for a while and see how I like it.  Photos below.  The brand is Cynthia Rowley which means I got it at TJMaxx. The size is good but it's packed a bit tight so not sure it will last. I'll will definitely be back to this topic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-found-good-choices-in-small-wallets#post-1883317 Sat, 27 Jan 2018 13:26:03 +0000 Suzanimal 1883317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've never liked small wallets because I like to carry cash and bills don't fit in the small wallets I've come across. I think Diana solved my problem with the men's wallet idea. As others pointed out, the men's wallets are probably hard to find in a purse&nbsp; (no bright colors) AND they don't usually have a closure but I think I'm going to experiment on my husband's old wallet. I think I'm going to try painting (or recovering) it and fashioning some sort of closure.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-found-good-choices-in-small-wallets#post-1883314 Sat, 27 Jan 2018 13:23:26 +0000 Staysfit 1883314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I swear by Big Skinny wallets made of leather. Mine is 8 or 9 years old now and going strong. They obviously last and can take a lot of use, and they are definitely small. I purchased it because I wanted something to fit into a small bag. They have a website. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-found-good-choices-in-small-wallets#post-1883179 Sat, 27 Jan 2018 00:58:54 +0000 Gigi 1883179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Fossil for small wallets.

It's not especially thin, though. I have one in a tan color, but I also got an iridescent one as a free gift at one point.

With pockets so tiny on women's pants (and I do like to be able to run out without a bag sometimes), a slim card case always made more sense to me. These are probably more minimalist than what you're looking for, but work for me (three credit/debit cards, drivers license, insurance card, sometimes a couple small bills but often not):</p> <p>Current:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.flowfold.com/product/minimalist-limited-card-holder-wallet">https://www.flowfold.com/produ.....der-wallet</a></p> <p>Previous:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.alchemygoods.com/products/night-out-wallet">https://www.alchemygoods.com/p.....out-wallet</a></p> <p>The upcycled bike tube wallet lasted me, I think, nine years; just replaced it at Christmas with the turquoise one.&nbsp;</p> <p>When I met him, DH didn't use a wallet at all.

I have their "note sleeve" which works great for what I carry. I have five charge cards (two personal, one store card, one business card, one medical), two insurance cards, driver's license, cash, and a slim Tile because I lose things. It's still only 3/4" thick.&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://bellroy.com/products/note-sleeve-wallet/leather/teal">https://bellroy.com/products/n.....ather/teal</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-found-good-choices-in-small-wallets#post-1882989 Fri, 26 Jan 2018 15:38:13 +0000 texstyle 1882989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have a Find for them but I have a couple of RFID wallets from Fossil that were affordable, small and work very well for me.

It was on sale but still a little pricey, but it's still going very strong and looks great after five years of use and abuse. I can't find it online anymore, but perhaps Longchamp is a brand to look at.&nbsp;</p> <p>I don't think I'll ever go back to a large wallet. I love that I can simply pop this in a small cross body bag and still fit eyeglass case and other essentials.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-found-good-choices-in-small-wallets#post-1882952 Fri, 26 Jan 2018 13:18:26 +0000 delurked 1882952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use this one from Brighton.

I would definitely call on you. That green wallet looks wonderful and I love the idea of the slim plastic card holders. Those plastic holders used to be used in wallets for photographs long before smart phones existed. (Dating myself)<br />Thanks <b>Jaileen</b>, more good ideas. <br /><b>Suz</b> excellent point about men's wallets usually not being bright colors and wanting a bright wallet to make it easier to find. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-found-good-choices-in-small-wallets#post-1882776 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 21:49:31 +0000 Suz 1882776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for starting this thread - I'm in the market for myself and for my kid. I like the men's idea (esp for my kid) but both of us want something brightly coloured so we don't misplace and can find more easily in a bag, and that is not usual in men's wallets. I'm off to check the links now.&nbsp;</p> <p>My current wallet (worn out) is not leather but it holds a lot of cards, which is what I love about it, and is very lightweight, and does have room for change. But it is a long format.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-found-good-choices-in-small-wallets#post-1882770 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 21:40:19 +0000 JAileen 1882770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a couple things that I use for travel. The one the left is a Coach wristlet, and the other is a Fossil zip pouch. The Fossil is so small that a credit card *just* fits. On the other side there is a window for my drivers license. Usually I travel with my husband so I don’t need much. The Coach one doesn’t have any dividers or anything, but the little strap is handy. </p> <p>Sometimes I’m driving in town and I need my DL and phone, so I tuck it and a credit card in the back of my phone case. I sort of wish the wristlet would hold my phone, but then it would have to be big. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-found-good-choices-in-small-wallets#post-1882746 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 20:36:00 +0000 viva 1882746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some nice options here. I love that last one you posted Mary; that green is spectacular. At that price, I'm tempted to get it as an alternative. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-found-good-choices-in-small-wallets#post-1882738 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 19:40:48 +0000 MsMary 1882738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, and look at this one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-found-good-choices-in-small-wallets#post-1882735 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 19:39:02 +0000 MsMary 1882735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh! Ooh! *raises hand and bounces up and down in seat* I know this one!!</p> <p>I have this one from Amazon and I love it! It comes in fun colors, it's super inexpensive and fabulous quality. The credit card insert wore out after a couple of years and I just ordered a replacement for about five bucks. BIG THUMBS UP. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-found-good-choices-in-small-wallets#post-1882731 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 19:30:57 +0000 anchie 1882731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rambling Ann, I just got the almost identical cover for my brand new Iphone x, Even the same color. I got it for the same purpose, to eliminate need for a wallet in some occasions. Will see how this works out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-found-good-choices-in-small-wallets#post-1882725 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 19:20:30 +0000 Sal 1882725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for this thread- I am going to get a men's wallet!! I have been using my phone case but it is not working but I only want a small wallet. </p> <p>Thanks Chris and Diana- much appreciated!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-found-good-choices-in-small-wallets#post-1882720 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 19:16:16 +0000 Rambling Ann 1882720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am experimenting with this as my walking-around wallet/phone case. My sister turned me on to it when I upgraded my phone this fall. It doesn't hold much, but all I really need is my drivers license and one emergency credit card for most of the times I leave the house. If I am on a longer voyage, I have a bag large enough for my bullet journal and real wallet. So far it's working, although I didn't have enough singles to pay for eggs at the post office (it's a really small town, LOL) and have to go back, but that's the first big fail in my experiment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-found-good-choices-in-small-wallets#post-1882717 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 19:07:16 +0000 viva 1882717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My daughter gave me a small Tory Burch one as a gift. I started using it for travel and with my smaller crossbody bags and basically converted to using it full-time. When home I do also carry a little leather change purse, but this wallet totally covers my needs otherwise -- my license, a few cards, and minimal cash. I like that it's compact and interesting. </p> <p>Cards are fairly easy to get in and out, and I am a big fan of TB's textured leathers which are rugged and easy to clean.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-found-good-choices-in-small-wallets#post-1882714 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 19:00:41 +0000 Chris987 1882714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks UmmLila and Diana I'll check out your ideas.

Here's an example of a small one: &lt;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.toryburch.com/robinson-patent-mini-wallet/41948.html?cgid=accessories-wallets&amp;dwvar_41948_color=801">https://www.toryburch.com/robi.....038;dwvar_</a>&gt;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-found-good-choices-in-small-wallets#post-1882704 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 18:41:50 +0000 Chris987 1882704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been thinking about wallet sizes. In my wallet I have a typical collection of drivers license, medical insurance cards, auto insurance and AAA, credit cards, plus some membership cards.&nbsp;Plus some cash. </p> <p>I sometimes want to use a smaller cross body bag, and being able to go to a really small wallet would make that easier, since I also need to carry reading glasses, sunglasses and a few other small items.. </p> <p>A few months ago I bought this MK wallet that is fairly small for this type of wallet, but the cards are really hard to get in and out so it has not been a great success.</p> <p>I was at dinner a while ago with someone who had a very small wallet just for credit cards (like the size of an RFID wallet) &nbsp;and a small change purse and that created a very small overall wallet profile. I've been thinking about trying to do that. </p> <p>Have any of you found good choices for very small wallets? </p>
