How do I care for my SageBrown travel wallet? 

To keep your travel wallet looking its best, it's recommended that you avoid exposing it to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.

Aspinal of London Travel Wallet with Removable Inserts

A travel wallet that adapts to each trip, Aspinal’s design comes with removable inserts so you never need to take anything unless it’s completely necessary.

All sections are clear thanks to markers stamped with ‘Tickets’, ‘Passport’, and ‘Documents’ in gold foil lettering, and there’s also a handy ‘Other’ section for miscellaneous things like receipts and small family pictures.

Personalisation is available as well as luxury gift wrapping if you intend to give this as a gift to your favourite globetrotter.

Smythson Multi-Zip Case in Panama

Slim and compact with playful contrast-coloured zips on either side, luxury stationery Smythson is on hand to help organise your trip with this cross-grain calf leather currency case. There are four compartments within to bring order to receipts, foreign currency, tickets and more, making a quick getaway a streamlined experience. There are seven other colours to choose from, but nothing says Smythson quite like the Lapis.

Anya Hindmarch Bespoke Travel Wallet with Print

Anya Hindmarch’s leather travel pouch is ready for take-off. The cute, crimson design is perfect for European breaks, and has dedicated sections for all your currency and credit cards to keep all your important documents safe and secure.

Metier Full-Grain Leather Travel Wallet

Simple in design and wonderfully high in function, this is the travel wallet for business executives. There are three compartments on the front to store documents you want quick access to, with a further two inside to keep the most precious ones safe - think passport and boarding passes. The Italian-made bifold design is plain, save for some subtle branding in metallic silver on the reverse.

Portico Designs Alice Scott Travel Wallet, Brown

Cheap, cheerful and full of carefree holiday vibes thanks to that vibrant palm tree print, this wallet organiser can’t help but spark joy. Gold foil printing on the front spells out the words ‘Out Of Office’, leaving you in no doubt what it’s for.

Inside, compartments are generous enough to slide in a pair of passports as well as cash and your essential documents. There’s also a zipped pocket for foreign coins. Everything is held securely together with the help of the striped strap and gold-coloured popper.

The Alphabet Gift Shop Personalised Off To See The World Family Travel Wallet

If you’re travelling as a family, the number of documents and things you need to keep close to hand goes up by the person and it can become very easy to misplace important items - the last thing you need if you’re on a multi-leg voyage.

Keep them all safe with the most responsible family member with this bumper organiser, which has plenty of space to make use of. Keep up to five passports inside the zipped main compartments, as well as foreign coins, cards, your mobile phone and even a tablet holder in the large back pocket.

Measuring 20 x 23cm, the wallet is crafted from light grey Saffiano fine grain faux leather and can be personalised too, making it an excellent gift idea.

The generous wallet can actually hold up to three passports, making it a great option for family travel too. There’s even a compartment to stow your handset.

Moleskine Journey Storage Pouch, Sapphire Blue

If you’re on the hunt for an option that won’t break the bank, head to John Lewis, where you can find this gemstone-coloured travel pouch from Moleskine. Granted, the brand is best known for diaries and organisers, which makes this progression into the travel accessory sphere so fitting. The pouch is a mini hard case to keep your phone (on which you’ve probably stored your boarding pass and other travel essentials) as well as a net pocket to hold foreign currency cards and accessories like headphones.

Fjällräven Kånken Travel Wallet Sports Backpack

Makers of those cult backpacks you keep seeing on your commute, Sweden’s Fjällräven also makes this travel organiser that fits in the palm of your hand. Heaving with pockets and dividers, there’s also a fleece-lined pocket for your handset to keep it with the rest of your valuables. Available in green and purple.

If you’re taking your Fjällräven backpack as hand luggage on your travels, the brand’s organiser fits perfectly and transforms the bag into an organiser, complete with a secure laptop sleeve, in a flash, £36.

6 best travel wallets for organising passports and holiday documents

From passports to visas, the paperwork is all important when it comes to jetting from one country to another, which is why it’s worth investing in one of the best travel wallets, to keep all your documents safe and ready to access when you need them.

Luckily, some of our favourite travel accessory brands have risen to the challenge, producing fantastic travel wallets that not only have room for all the essentials but look incredibly stylish and reduce the risk of identity fraud, too.

We strongly recommend opting for RFID (radio-frequency identification) wallets, which use nickel and copper-coated material (usually polyester) to reduce the risk of identity fraud, by blocking the electromagnetic signals emitted from your bank cards.

Take the time to think about what you’re going to be using your wallet for – if you’re going to fill it to capacity, we’d recommend opting for a zip closure, but if easy access is a priority, don’t write off the humble magnet or press-stud closure.

We’re also huge fans of wallets that have clamshell openings – ones that open fully, like a book , rather than requiring you to extract your essentials through tiny openings.

How we tested the best travel wallets.

Our recent trips involved a lot of paperwork (such as visas), currency in various denominations as well as essentials such as our passport (obviously), boarding passes and bank cards. We had plenty of opportunities to put a range of travel wallets to the test during these trips, whether it was before we’d even entered the airport (in India, all passengers must produce airplane tickets before being allowed into the terminal) or at visa checkpoints. In a nutshell? We truly put these wallets through their paces, and they all passed with flying colours. That said, certain ones have been clearly designed with specific additional purposes in mind, which is why we’ve highlighted the areas in which they excel below. Happy travels!

The best travel wallets for 2024 are:

• Best travel wallet overall – Lifeventure RFID mini travel wallet: £24.94, Amazon.co.uk
• Best budget travel wallet – Go Travel RFID organiser: £19.99, Go.travel
• Best compact travel wallet – Jack Wolfskin cashbag wallet: £24, Jack-wolfskin.co.uk
• Best for simplicity – Keela travel ID wallet: £24.95, Keelaoutdoors.com
• Best large travel wallet – House of Disaster animal-print travel wallet: £29.99, Houseofdisaster.com

Lifeventure RFID mini travel wallet

• Best : Travel wallet overall
• Material : Nickel- and copper-coated polyester
• Handy transparent pockets
• Can also store your phone
• Good choice of colours

This wallet has seven card pockets, including one covered by transparent plastic. Our advice? Use this one to stash ID cards, such as a driver’s licence – you can flash it without having to remove it from the wallet.

Larger slip pockets – placed beneath the smaller ones – are ideal for boarding passes and passports, and we used the pocket made from mesh to stash our iPhone. It’s another RFID wallet, which relies on nickel- and copper-coated polyester fabric to reduce the risk of identity theft.

Call us fickle but we loved the choice of four colourways, too.

Go Travel RFID organiser

• Best : Budget travel wallet
• Material : Polyester
• Great price
• Slim but stuffed with pockets
• Easy to access

Identity theft is no longer an invisible threat that brands merely use to convince us to part with extra cash. Well, some brands might still take this approach but Go Travel, which is known for its top-quality RFID travel wallets, definitely isn’t one of them, and this wallet is a case in point.

Despite its slimline design, it’s stuffed with pockets, to hold everything from passports (our rigorous testing proved that there was more than enough room for four) to boarding passes, which we placed in the extra-wide pockets beneath the ones designed to hold passports.

Unlike with similar products, the RFID tech has added minimal bulk, and its clamshell design, with zips that opened on three sides of each half of the wallet, meant refreshingly easy access to the contents.

Fjällräven kånken travel wallet

• Best : Travel wallet for easy access
• Material : 65 per cent polyester, 35 per cent cotton
• Extra-wide pockets
• Tough and water-resistant

How Fjällräven managed to squeeze so many pockets into such a compact wallet, we’ll never know. We had plenty of room for our passport, vaccination documentation and foreign currency, which we placed inside the wallet, while we kept our boarding passes in the extra-wide exterior pocket on the wallet’s rear.

There’s an incredible sense of toughness to the kånken (thanks, partly, to the water-resistant G-1000 fabric), and we loved how the concertina-like strip of material between the wallet’s two halves meant we could open the wallet fully – no fumbling around through narrow openings to extricate essential documents.

Keela travel ID wallet

• Best : For simplicity
• Material : Unspecified
• Can be worn under garments
• Great for easy access
• No bells an whistles

To begin with, we were sceptical about the simplicity of this wallet but we’re now total converts. In recent years, partly because of the extra documentation required for travel (whether it’s vaccination paperwork or visa forms, much of which isn’t required to check in for a flight), we’ve taken to carrying our passport in a separate wallet, simply so we can produce it without riffling through irrelevant paperwork. Our top tip? Before entering the airport, place your boarding pass and passport in this transparent wallet (which slips neatly under jackets or T-shirts) and simply whip them out as and when required.

Jack Wolfskin cashbag wallet

• Best : Compact travel wallet
• Material : Shell: 100 per cent polyamide; lining: 100 per cent polyester
• Great for thick wads of cash
• Small and easy to carry around

We love the name of this RFID wallet – if only because it brings to mind an accessory stuffed with thick wads of cash. That wasn’t the case where we were concerned, to be clear, although, we did find the extra-wide pocket useful for quickly stashing a wad of 1,000 Indian Rupees (don’t get excited – this equates to about £10).

It’s one of the smallest travel wallets in our selection, but that’s precisely why we love it – although it might not be large enough for your passport, it’s got more than enough room for currency, boarding passes and paperwork, and its size means it slips easily into pockets.

House of Disaster animal-print travel wallet

• Best : Large travel wallet
• Material : Vegan-friendly ‘leather’, faux cheetah fur, cotton lining
• Funky, stylish design
• Labelled compartments

We were instantly smitten with the flash of pink against the animal print, but the interior of this wallet was just as impressive. A zippered pocket was perfect for stashing loose change, while we used the shallow card pockets for hotel room keys and business cards. The highlight, however, was the main compartment, with its four dividers, clearly labelled (in chic golden font, no less) to indicate separate pockets for passports, tickets, documents and ‘other’.

Full disclosure, we were initially concerned by its larger size but a trip to India, which involved multiple internal flights (read: lots of tickets), visas and vaccination documentation, meant we easily filled this particular wallet.

It’s also available in a leopard-print design (£29.99, Houseofdisaster.com ).

The verdict: Travel wallets

If you want a wallet with all the bells and whistles, the Lifeventure RFID mini travel wallet is an absolute essential for jet-setters. It’s a great example of a product that proves opting for extra security doesn’t require going down the supersized route. Meanwhile, Fjällräven’s kånken travel wallet is a sturdy, stylish piece of kit that stands up to serious amounts of wear and tear. If you like to stand out from the crowd, however, the House of Disaster animal-print travel wallet offers a dose of dopamine-boosting design.
