What kind of wallet would modern Bond sport?

Cruv

I'd like to get a modern Bond wallet (Daniel Craig era) , so I like to hear the opinions of you fellow ajb007ers.

Let's say if Bond were to get a wallet, what kind of wallet should it be?
I would say a very minimalistic wallet, embossed logo, in black colour.

Something like this Louis Vuitton (Taiga) wallet.





Or this PRADA wallet.




P.S. I'd like to get a modern Bond wallet (Daniel Craig era) , so I like to hear the opinions of you fellow ajb007ers.

Cruv

Bump.

No one?

Verona

I guess I would agree on the black minimalistic.

Wouldn't pay for a Prada, though.

Cruv

Why not?

The Louis Vuitton is much more expensive than the PRADA wallet, though.

Verona

In the end, it's just a black wallet. I'd get mine off a flea market but that's just me. Labels are unimportant.

Cruv

I guess to Bond labels are important )

Seems like everything he wears are all designers label. Don't get me wrong, not trying to say I should be him and get all designers label.

Verona

Yeah, I understand. But if I paid $100+ for a wallet, I wouldn't have much left to put in it.

Cruv

Yup, I understand and agree on that too )

It's like spending hundreds or thousands for a wallet which has only a few tens in it

Verona

Mine cost $3 and I can't complain. -{

Cruv

Sure you can't,

But if it was a nice $3 I wouldn't mind )

I couldn't find this one in black but this is Tom Ford's wallet listed on bluefly for $340.00

Cruv

That's a nice wallet!

Unfortunately there's no black one with embossed logo, I would soooo buy that.

The intel here has been handy as I am looking for a new leather wallet!

I like the basic style, but my personal attitdue to wallets is the same as sunglasses, pens, keyrings, watches, and other easily looseable personal accessories. - Never spend more than you are prepared to loose! Still, no harm in emulating the Bond personal choices even if I can't copy them exact!

Cruv

Actually there's some real cheap leather wallet! It's a cool 'Bond' looking wallet )

It's a money clip wallet, and it's only about.. $30 USD. It's not really available everywhere, but if you would like it, drop me a PM.

Verona

Money clips are nice, I've considered getting one.

Cruv

Yup, but I think a standard wallet is better than a money clip -{.

Verona

Depends. I like minimalism and I only have about three or four cards so..

Cruv

Yup, I have only three or four cards and they look pitiful in my wallet 8-)

I like the simplicity of these:

Cruv

The Harrods one looks good )

Bond's wallet depends upon what he's wearing. He's not going to want one of those little square wallets if he's in a suit, tuxedo or dinner jacket because he'll be carrying his wallet in the inside pocket of his jacket. He'll opt for one of the long elegant ones. Here's one in black from Herrods.



If he's out on a boat in Jamaca or someplace similar, he'll take the opposite tack. He'll buy a cheap little gaudy thing from a souvenir stall. This way, if he goes tangles with a stingray or falls on his ass on a bunch of rocks, it won't matter if the wallet gets a little chewed up.

As I lost mine this week, does someone know what kind of wallet he uses in the films or books?

I haven't carried a wallet in years. Although carrying a wallet -- or more likely a billfold or some such -- seems appropriate in the 1960s, it just feels old hat today and makes me wonder if Bond also has photos of his nieces and nephews, along with a condom for special occasions.

Only a money clip for you? I've found that I need a card case in addition to a money clip because I have too many things I use daily (credit card, debit card, metro card, ID, work ID, office keycard—the biggest thing of all, supermarket card, and other things)

I too have never had a wallet, I think it's safer to keep the various items
Of modern life spread across many pockets, and I only use the hip pocket
Of my trousers to carry " dog poo bags"

I 'inherited' this from an international student that didn't check our lost & found for over a year:



It is inscribed
NAPIER UNIVERSITY
EDINBURGH

Cool 'wallet', eh?

I've been using this wallet from Status Anxiety for the past 2 years and love it.

It's minimalist and something I could totally see Bond using.

A few cards in the back pocket and some cash elsewhere is all I need anymore.

I have been using a Mighty Wallet for a few years, you can't go more undercover than that. https://www.dynomighty.com/shop/Airmail-Mighty-Wallet

However, for more 'formal' moments I also have two SecrID card protectors with a moneyband. They hold 6 cards a piece and some notes and business cards https://www.secrid.com/en/product/id/8/item/109/moneyband-tiber

And of course the CR moneyclip )
