Yes, Commes des Garçons' Rei Kawakubo is responsible for some left-field (and landmark) style. But the French-Japanese outfit does classic just as well in the form of a zip-around chocolate leather wallet.

Go cashless on every front with River Island's navy and black card holder; an affordable choice that'll let you simply fritter away the contactless transactions in ignorant (and pretty stylish) bliss.

Some brands are so artful with the old craftsmanship - so sickeningly skilful - that they needn't rely on logomania or vibrancy. Bottega Veneta is one such example, with the intrecciato wallet favouring the outfit's signature leather weave over gaudy branding.

Now we're getting fun. If you're fed up of all the boring old navy and monochrome on pub tables and inside pockets nationwide, settle for Givenchy's leather red iteration to heat up your cash flow.
Colour Block Wallet, £410, farfetch.com
Paul Smith - from here on known forth as the king of subtle colour - has turned his skilful hand to the humble cardholder, adding a quiet stripe motif to a proven formula. Your majesty.

There are other robust alternatives to leather. Look to Canadian outfit Herschel Supply Co. for a zipped, pouch-style wallet that loses the hide, but keeps the cool.
Johnny Wallet, £22, topman.com
Trip to the Hamptons but flying Norwegian Air? No fear. Ralph Lauren's striped cardholder - a leather camel beauty with a single pop of detail - won't give the game away thanks to classic, Ivy League craftsmanship. Those moneyed WASPs need never know.

There's no such thing as the new black. Unless you settle for croc-style calf leather courtesy of Aspinal of London. The British-born label has cracked the impossible task of replicating exotic skins without using that very thing - and the result is just as handsome.

Despite the multi-million empire of apparel, trainers and everything in-between, Prada began life as a fine leather goods manufacturer. Judging by this tricolour cardholder, they've still got it, too.
Saffiano Leather Cardholder, £180, matchesfashion.com
Simply does it - a mantra Mulberry knows all too well. But simple needn't mean corner-cutting. To the contrary, this storied British brand has instilled this wallet with the finest manufacturing: full-grain leather, eight card slots, two receipt pockets and two bill sleeves to boot.
