When a wallet seems too bulky, a designer card holder is chic and compact and will slot into the tiniest of handbags.

Much like the best designer bags, a designer card holder is a luxurious investment piece that will stand the test of time too. They will slot seamlessly into your clutch bag on an evening out or in the pocket of the best leggings for a post-workout brunch trip.

From party-ready sequins and vibrant hues to buttery-soft leather, the stores are brimming with card holders to give this practical piece a fancy upgrade. So whether you’re a minimalist or want to make a statement, you’re guaranteed to find a style to suit you.
