Aspinal of London Classic Travel Wallet in Violet Lizard Calf Leather & Cream Suede.

I can’t handle being unorganized when I travel (OK, actually ever), but especially when I travel. I like to keep all of my documents and important papers in one secure place. Usually I don’t bring my everyday wallet, opting to take just the essentials (credit cards, cash, etc), since if I happen to lose or have it stolen on a trip I won’t need to replace every single item.

For the past year or so I’ve been looking for a travel wallet that’s not only big enough to fit my passport and receipts, but also has a zippered pouch for coins — plus it has to be stylish too. During my most recent trip while I was killing time waiting for my flight I discovered Aspinal of London in the Gatwick Airport. They actually had tons of chic accessories, like handbags, scarves and office accessories, but it was their Classic Travel Wallet that caught my eye and I was instantly smitten.

The Classic Travel Wallet in turquoise.

Everything about this wallet fits the bill. It has the cute tabbed sections, a slot for your boarding pass and a zippered pouch. It comes in seven colours including black, red, pink and turquoise (pictured above) and can also be personalized. Made of lizard print Italian calf leather and a contrasting suede interior, it’s totally luxurious. Something to place of your holiday wish list, perhaps?

The Classic Travel Wallet retails for $219(US) and is available at aspinaloflondon.com.
