The 15 best wallets for women in 2024

Pros: Tons of storage space, including a spacious interior coin pouch. There are both horizontal and vertical credit card slots

Cons: The wallet may be too large for some smaller everyday handbags

There are pockets galore inside this top wallet for women by direct-to-consumer line Lo & Sons, yet its exterior does nothing to suggest there's a world of organizational possibilities within. An especially nice touch is the inclusion of horizontal and vertical card pockets — something no other wallet tested included — which made for easier insertion and removal. 

The style we tested was a stiffer Saffiano leather, although Nappa is also available. With the Saffiano, the leather has been treated to resist scratches and water damage. The options also include a range of leather-and-metal-zipper combinations. Overall, this is a larger wallet well suited for those who prefer a maximalist approach to packing a bag. It's sturdy, practical, and luxe-looking sans any major branding details.

Pros: Scratch-resistant leather, convenient single-card slot under the envelope snap

Cons: None to speak of

Iconic leather goods brand Coach makes this list with its small envelope-style wallet. Note that the leather is not quite as buttery to the touch as other brands that offer the best wallets for women. Instead, it's made of cross grain leather that's a bit stiffer but also scratch-resistant — good news for when your wallet and keys are jingling around in the same handbag. The interior pocket space fits a bunch of essentials: six credit cards and eight bills, with quite a bit of space to comfortably add more of each. There's an exterior coin pouch, as well as a single card slot right under the envelope flap. Consider this the perfect place for storing your go-to credit card or ID card that you can conveniently grab in a rush without rummaging through the rest of your things.

Pros: Ample storage space for cards, bills, and more. It has soft leather and can be converted into a wristlet bag

Cons: No coin pouch

Leatherology is a Dallas-based, vertically integrated brand that creates highly impressive leather goods, especially given its affordable price points of the best wallets for women. This zip wallet — tested in a truly optimistic shade of turmeric — has a super supple leather exterior and ample amount of organization for anyone who finds their wallet to be consistently packed. The inside holds six credit cards, two bill slots, and two other open pockets to fill as you see fit. There isn't a designated coin purse, which could be a deterrent for some.

The zip-around wallet also might be too large for those who wear a smaller everyday bag. However, since it can carry quite a decent amount — it zipped right up with passport, keys, or phone — Leatherology sells wristlet straps if you prefer to use this piece as a bag itself.

Pros: RFID-blocking fabric, 12 credit card slots, and an extra exterior pocket on the outside of the wallet

Cons: The wallet may be too large for some smaller everyday handbags

Made by long-standing family business Royce New York, this zip-around wallet is one we haven't tried in person yet. This wallet, however, is known for its high-quality leather and RFID-blocking finish that is great for everyday protection. It also comes with 12 credit card pockets and two bill slots. In spite of its brag-worthy storage, it has a minimalist look. Complimentary monogramming is available too.

Pros: Ample storage space, Leather Working Group certified, dual purpose design

Cons: May be too large to fit in smaller handbags

Cuyana's Duo Zip Wallet doubles as a wallet and a wristlet, so you can condense your everyday carry into one sleek, leather envelope. It comes in four colorways with options for crocodile, metallic, or pebbled finishes. 

This wallet has a zipper pouch you can remove to make space in its middle compartment for your phone, and features a cleverly designed wrist strap that's easy to tuck away. This wallet is made in Turkey with leather audited by the Leather Working Group, an organization that works with brands, tanneries, suppliers, and more to create a responsible global supply chain.

Pros: Can fit multiple passports, has hidden pockets for secure storage, features RFID-blocking technology, and comes with a mini travel pen

Cons: Has three credit card slots, which is fewer than other styles. Also, it doesn't have a zippered coin pouch

The exterior of Bellroy's Travel Folio is smooth and sleek, with a zip-around closure, and RFID-blocking technology. Meanwhile, the inside houses a ton, including at least two passports. The design only includes a couple of card slots and doesn't have a coin purse, but it makes up for these potential inadequacies with its many organization pockets. Some of these slots are even hidden, making this a top wallet for women that safely ensures your belongings never spill out in your carry-on bag. Plus, a super slim pen is included in the center crease, ensuring you always have one on hand to fill out a customs form. Combined, these considerate touches will speak right to the heart of the most organized travelers you know.

Pros: This is a slimmer design that holds bills, cards, and a passport and can still comfortably fit in almost any everyday handbag

Cons: It doesn't have a coin pouch

This Dagne Dover design lies somewhere between a passport holder and wallet, offering just a small bit of additional storage for frequent flyers. The direct-to-consumer, waste-conscious line is no stranger to organization and pieces for on-the-go, but the wallet stands out for its looks and function. While it's a much slimmer travel wallet than the other top wallets for women we tested, it still includes six slots for credit cards and one for bills. The magnet closure is also a thoughtful choice as it eliminates fumbling often caused by zippers. 

Unlike bulkier travel designs, this wallet is also a good size for slipping into everyday handbags, not just larger travel carryalls. Plus, the leather is soft and comes in lovely shades of cream, gray, and blue. You can find more insight into Dagne Dover products in our guide to the best work bags for women. 

Pros: Slim profile, sleek design

Cons: Only holds the bare necessities

The Tory Burch Kira Chevron Card Case was the best slim wallet for women I tested for carrying the bare essentials in a feminine design. Its buttery leather exterior and gold hardware accent complimented anywhere I put it— including my front pocket (and we all know how infamously tiny the pockets in women's pants are). Such a sleek profile easily fits just as well inside my purse and allowed me some extra storage space.

The card case securely held my transit card, ID, and debit card in its outer slots, plus a couple folded bills in the innermost pocket. If you're trying to pare down all the extra receipts and business cards you usually lug around, this cardholder will help you lighten the load. —Gabrielle Chase, style & beauty associate editor

Pros: Wrist strap for easy carrying, plenty of storage for travel documents

Cons: Too large for small pocketbooks

Tumi is one of our favorite luggage brands we've tested, and their smaller accessories are the perfect acquaintance for safe-keeping your onboarding necessities. Here there are 10 card slots, a divider for papers and a passport, and an ID window, all enclosed in a zip closure.

Pros: Removable shoulder strap, made with recycled materials, comes in three colorways 

Cons: Shoulder strap length maxes out at 21 inches

Fossil's reputation for fine watches lends itself to more leather goods, like this patent leather wallet with metallic hardware detailing that doubles as a crossbody mini purse. Its interior is outfitted with recycled polyester and features two pockets and four card slots.

Pros: Affordable, secure closure, water resistant hard shell

Cons: Not ideal for bills

If you know you're prone to spills, then choosing a hard shell wallet might spare you from soggy pockets in the future. This slim compact comes in a grand total of 44 colors and patterns, so despite its simple shape, you can still find a design to compliment your handbag.

It opens to reveal seven accordion slots that fan out and display your cards like a small folio. Its sturdy aluminum shell blocks RFID signals, and clasps shut tightly to seal out liquids. Because of its slight size, you can pack this wallet in your mini purse and it'll fit comfortably. 

Pros: Handmade, one-of-a-kind

Cons: Only carries bare essentials

This colorful beaded card holder from beloved trinket brand Susan Alexandra is handcrafted in New York's Chinatown. It makes a great gift as a stylish wallet for women who enjoy unconventional accessories, whether that's you or a loved one.

Pros: Carries both your phone and wallet, quality smooth leather

Cons: Only fits iPhones

A bandolier is a hands-free way to carry all your essentials in one petite package, which is extra convenient as the best wallet for women to accommodate those infamously tiny pockets on women's jeans. The shoulder strap adjusts to generous lengths so you can wear it at whatever height you prefer, and the snap closure carries cards behind the open-face phone case.

Pros: Fits into pockets and small purses, carries cash efficiently

Cons: Only comes in black 

Quince's direct-to-consumer business model translates from luxury grade materials to competitive prices when you compare to other retailers of top-grain Italian leather goods. One of the best wallets for women who prefer to carry cash on hand, this money clip wallet has room for up to eight cards with an ID window packed into a slim, minimalist silhouette.

Pros: Mirror panel with room for lipstick, affordable price 

Cons: Only one main storage pocket

This wallet-sized cosmetic compact mirror is handy for tucking cards behind lipstick, lip gloss, or chapstick — whatever you need to touch up your look on the go.
