SLIM MEN’S CARD HOLDERS FOR THE WIN: 11 LUXURIOUS DESIGNS
Today’s men’s card holders prove that less is indeed more. These compact cases may spend most of their time in pockets, but when they do make public appearances, they should “wow” like any other accessory.
Card holders are technically a type of wallet, but their thinner silhouettes place them in a league of their own. Unlike traditional bi-fold and tri-fold wallets that often accumulate unnecessary items over time, card case wallets have room for just the essentials: an ID, a few cards, and perhaps an emergency bill or two. Thanks to mobile contactless payments, a slim card holder is really all you need to keep things organized.
Thanks to their slim design, card holders are easy to carry in a pants pocket or slip into a cross-body bag. And, with all the options available in carriers today—from bold colors and prints to elegant croc-embossed or pebbled leather varieties—they, along with a coordinating card holder, are a great way to show off your personal style.
11 DESIGNER CARD HOLDERS FOR MEN
A designer card case says a lot about the man carrying it: bright, whimsical patterns show off your playful side, while a sleek black model emits an air of sophistication. Here are 11 luxury labels crafting men’s designer card holders that will stand the test of time.
Saint Laurent
Saint Laurent Men’s YSL Monogram Croc-Embossed Card Case
Saint Laurent proves that even the most minimal accessory, such as the YSL Monogram Croc-Embossed Card Case, adds allure to any outfit. One of the brand’s bestsellers, it’s made of supple croc-embossed calfskin and features four card slots and a central slip compartment.
Off-White
Off-White offers a wide range of men’s card holders that blend luxury construction with street-style aesthetics.

Loewe
Loewe Men’s Puzzle Leather Card Holder
Within Loewe’s card holder collection lies the brand’s signature color blocking and asymmetric construction.

Unique color combinations with the embossed Loewe anagram offer a tasteful hint of eclecticism.
Ferragamo
Ferragamo’s designs emphasize Italian craftsmanship by embracing premium leather construction with contemporary accents. The leather wallet collection is diverse; some designs consist of unfussy solid tones, while others display elegant but complicated motifs. The card cases feature the Gancini emblem, inspired by the iron gates of Ferragamo’s Florence headquarters, instilling a sense of tradition in each accessory.
MCM
MCM was established with heritage and quality craftsmanship held in high regard. The classic Visetos-logo print highlights every card holder, which comes in rich colors, such as cognac, gray, black, and more. MCM is a Certified B Corporation™, ensuring the highest possible verified environmental and social performance standards for each product.

Berluti
Berluti Men’s Scritto Leather Zip Card Case

The Men’s Scritto Leather Zip Card Case has a wider-than-normal design, five external curved card slots, and a zip closure. An all-over signature Scritto motif accentuates the rich cocoa color, giving the design a refined air.
Bottega Veneta
Quite possibly the most recognized woven motifs, Bottega Veneta’s Intrecciato is a basketweave technique that adds to the design’s durability.
