Top 5 Wear-Alone Wallets: More than Mere Money-Holders

The realm of the wallet is where I have the most fun: from playful to statement-making, your wallet can be super-specific since it’s usually hidden; then when you pull it out of your bag, you get that little jolt of excitement. This bunch turns the concept up a notch. These extraordinary, wear-alone wallets can double as clutches, so let them go out and play. Just make sure your phone is the right size. Damn that iPhone 6+ because it won’t fit in any of these!
