8 Most Expensive Wallets For The Perfect Style

Spending most of your money on what holds the rest

Whether it’s for money or for show, a wallet leaves a lasting impression on those who are all about style. If that’s you, finding the perfect one for your cards and bills means spending the right amount to maintain a sophisticated reputation.

But how much is too much?

A nice wallet is still a necessity for most, despite the rise of apps being used for purchases as well as online shopping. It’s just not the same offering to pick up the cheque by flipping out a phone or your wrist, as it is pulling a card from a stylish designer wallet. Cash is yet to be dormant, with bills needing a home for those spontaneous tips, pocket money handouts and street-side purchases.

Finding one that fits your style and will hold everything you need can be challenging, especially when there are a lot out there to choose from. You want your purchase to be the right one that you’ll love for years, not just weeks.

So if money isn’t an issue, your life just got easier.

What makes a wallet so expensive?

It all begins with the brand. And it pretty much ends there too.

Luxury and designer brands have spent decades establishing a worthy and elegant reputation which makes them the envy of every other average company out there. While they deliver on quality, just the name alone can boost the wallet’s market value significantly. When price is not an issue, you may not even look past the logo of the wallet you’ve just laid your eyes on. World-renown labels will catch anyones eye so you’re guaranteed status recognition pretty much anytime you want it.

Then there’s the material. We all know the high value of leather in its most common form, cattle. When it’s come from crocodile or alligator, the material becomes one of the rarest and hardest to craft on the market.

Any added features will make a wallet more original and appealing to a buyer after a specific look, design or style. Size, colour and durability all come into play, with warranty and RFID blocking expected for with every one with a price tag above triple-digits.

Your perfect style

Our advice? Make sure it’s ticked off all your must haves, even if they’re as simple as colour, and minimum card compartments. What’s perfect to a label isn’t the same as what’s perfect for you and if you’re going to spend big you deserve to have everything your financial merits desire.
