Best Large Wallets for Lots of Cash or Cards

What to look for in a large wallet

Wallet Capacity

The main reason for choosing a larger wallet is to store more cash or cards within it. This is useful if you're traveling and need to carry a lot of currency or if you need to carry a lot of business cards for work.

If cash capacity is your goal, look for a large dedicated coin purse, and a separate cash compartment or money clip. A cash compartment with an internal separator makes it easier to organize your banknotes.

If card capacity is your goal, then aim for a wallet with at least 6 card compartments.

Security Features

All modern wallets should come with RFID-blocking technology, as contactless payment scams are on the rise. All Von Baer wallets have an RFID-blocking lining hidden within the leather.

Material & Durability

The material you choose will greatly depend on your personal style and budget, but if you can afford it, we highly recommend you choose full-grain vegetable-tanned Italian leather. This is because it is very durable, and it keeps looking smart even after years of use. It will also develop a beautiful patina over time, and smell fantastic.

Other materials to consider include carbon fiber for a colder look, but we'd avoid a fabric wallet, as it looks unprofessional and goes tatty quickly.

Shape & Comfort

Even though you need a larger wallet, you don't want it to be so large that you can't carry it comfortably.

Choose a shape that fits your typical pocket size. If you plan to store it in your internal suit pocket, then choose a wallet 4.5 inches wide x 6 inches tall max, to ensure it fits in there comfortably.

Key Takeaways

• Storage and Organization: Look for a wallet with multiple compartments for cash and cards.
• Material Matters: Choose a durable material that aligns with your values, whether it's high-quality leather or a sustainable alternative.
• Size and Fit: Ensure the wallet balances capacity with comfort, fitting neatly in your pocket or bag.
• Style Statement: Select a design that reflects your personal style and suits various occasions.
• Enhanced Security: Prioritize features like RFID blocking to protect your personal information.

In summary, the best large wallet combines functionality with style, security, and comfort, ensuring that your essentials are organized, accessible, and protected.
