Mustard travel wallet

Inside the mustard travel wallet: a fan-print lining

Open the wallet and the plain mustard stops at the seam. Both main pockets are lined in a printed fabric of small overlapping fans, grey and white with ochre dots, bound in the same mustard as the shell.

The print does more than decorate. It sets the two deep pockets apart from the card side, so you reach for the right one by colour rather than by feel.

How the cards sit

Card slots are stitched in a single column, each overlapping the next, with a plain flap that folds down over the lot. Stacking them this way keeps the bulk in one place instead of spreading it across the whole wallet.

Two zips that never share a pocket

A central tab closes on a press stud and sits across the spine, holding both halves together so nothing splays open inside a bag. On either side of it a zip runs the full length of the wallet, and each one shuts its own pocket.

Keeping those pockets apart has a quiet advantage: notes live in one, coins in the other, and the two never come out in the same handful. The pulls carry a small engraved metal charm in an aged bronze tone, big enough to grip without looking down.

Grained synthetic, matt rather than glossy

The shell is a grained synthetic with an even texture across both faces and no shine to it. It holds its shape at the fold without turning stiff, so a wallet of this length keeps its line once the pockets fill up.

19x12 cm folded puts the long side along the zips, and that is the reason notes go in flat rather than folded over twice.

Moving it from bag to bag

A wallet this size travels well between bags, which is usually what decides whether it gets used at all. To see how it compares, the rest of the women's wallet range lines up compact models, flap companions and multi-pocket designs.

Coin purses and pouches cover the loose odds and ends a wallet was never meant to hold.
