Leather Travel Wallet
From LoveToKnow Handbags
A leather travel wallet is not only functional, but stylish as well. There are hundreds of styles from different designers available to keep your essentials safe and organized wherever your travels take you.
Lovely Leather
Although there are many other innovative wallet materials, leather is a top contender when it comes to wallets and handbags. A high quality leather offers durability like few other wallet materials. In addition to their ability to wear well and be long lasting, leather is also sleek and classy – perfect for anyone looking for a professional or polished accessory.
Leather Travel Wallet Features
You can certainly use a standard wallet when you travel, but many men and women prefer a travel wallet because of the extra features they provide. Traveling is stressful enough; with the right wallet, you can forego some of that stress knowing essentials are safe and organized just how you need them.
Special features you may find in leather wallets designed for travel include:
- Special compartments for your passport, boarding passes, and other travel documents
- Exterior pockets to quickly access necessary items
- Large or variably sized bill compartments to accommodate foreign currency
- Zippered interior compartments for change and small items
- Secure closures, such as fold over snaps of full exterior zippers
- Compartment for checks or traveler’s checks

- ID window
- Pen holder/loop
- Special security features to prevent theft
Travel wallets may also have additional organizing compartments, space for a small notebook, and other features.
Size and Style
Although there are some compact or thin wallets specifically designed for travel, most leather wallets for travel are larger in size than standard billfold wallets. A majority of these are rectangular in shape, although square styles are also available.
Black and various shades of brown and tan are available for many leather wallets, but leather travel cases are also sold in bright fashion colors, leather prints, and various accents. Although fashion might take a backseat to function when it comes to wallets for travel, the magic of leather is that even a simple black leather travel organizer looks stylish and polished.
Types of leather travel wallets include:
- Wallets that can be placed inside a handbag, travel/shoulder tote, or carry on bag
- Neck wallets with lanyards to be worn around the neck
- Hidden wallets worn under clothing, may be secured with a belt or strap
