Best Compact Wallet?

[indiaink]

EDITED TO ADD - I guess this isn't 'compact' in the sense you were looking for, OP, but this is the best I've found for me that's smaller than a wallet, but still has some organizational capability

As I was walking through Macy's today, returning a wallet, I spied a compact wristlet wallet from a designer I'd always shunned before - and the rest is history.

Presenting the Brahmin Debi wallet in Blue Fiji, and it's absolutely perfectly sized and it holds an iPhone, too. Vachetta leather trim and interior, 2-year guarantee, outside slip pocket, multiple pockets inside - just terrific organization.

Here's the link to the wallet I bought (shown on the Brahmin site):

There's one in black all leather, called the Debi black Nepal, with a studded strap, that I want to pick up, too. LOVE this style! This is the best kind of discovery - when you just 'happen' to see it as you're passing by -.

My current wallet is the Ralph Lauren Tate phone wallet. I rarely put my phone in it, but stuff the phone slot with bills, coupons etc. I also have a Liebeskind mini wallet and an A.Eriksson accordion card wallet which I love. If I find myself "needing" another one, it'll most definitely be the Viivi wallet by Lumi. It's cute and can take in a large amount of stuff - I've seen ones that have held more than 10 cards plus cash. As a bonus, the leather is gorgeously buttery and durable and the price won't break the bank either.

For some reason, I can't edit my previous post but here's a pic of the insides of the A.Eriksson card wallet and Ralph Lauren Tate Tech Wallet - both are practical and versatile. I actually went through my purse just a while back and found both lurking in there; I meant to leave the Eriksson at home (on vacation visiting the in-laws) but sure enough, there she was, with 20 or my non-essential cards inside.

Simple simple is my motto. Travel Wallet by Samuji. Found on a website called roztayger.com who is having a summer sale.

Although not LV, I've been loving two compact styles by Fossil and Coach:
Fossil perfect embossed snake multifunction wallet. (I own it in metallic and black.) I'm not sure if it's still available anywhere. But if not, Fossil's Sydney zip multifunction and zip phone wallets are similar.

Also, try Coach's saffiano leather medium continental.

Does anyone have the Mulberry Tree Zip around Purse? It looks exactly the same size wise as the LV coin purse and is the same price but is leather. I am looking at buying this when I'm in Europe next week and any thoughts on this would be great since I can't find any reviews or videos on it online.

Here is a link to it on the website:

I actually have Fossil's compact wallet!! So trusty but for me I prefer a zip around or French-style >__< The Coach one is cute! I love the color and the leather looks nice.

Emp yes

Thank you so much! I've heard stories of the Australian currency, lol. I don't have any LV pieces yet, and I was thinking to use the ZCP as a sort of "gateway" piece.

here you go-

Wooooow! It's gorgeous... The color is beautiful and the ostrich texture is just the perfect touch!!

Thank you! I've been really pleased with both brands. Both styles are zip around. Good luck with your search.

I loved my LV ZCP until we got polymer notes which are difficult to fold, I only carry a few cards so it was ideal. I have a MK wallet now which is over twice the size and looks 'empty' but at least I don't have to struggle to fold the notes.

I've been looking for a nice compact wallet for ages, which do you recommend? I like the LV Zippy Compact Coin Purse (I know it's a "coin purse" but it really can function as a small wallet!) and the Bottega Veneta Compact Zip Wallet as well. I don't like logos or monograms, which other compact wallets/ things that can substitute a wallet do you prefer? SLGs welcome as well!!

I use a compact Chanel wallet and love it. I carried a big wallet for a long time but realized I really didn't want to anymore. It's an adjustment carrying less, but it works of me now. Sorry for the sucky iPhone pic.

What does the MK wallet look like? Picture if you can! Do you know if the US is using polymer notes? Our bills seem fairly soft...
