‘ sleek wallets have become cult favorites over the years, and are far more practical (they have ample credit card slots, zips, coin pouches, and bill folds) than Rei Kawakubo’s more avant-garde designs. (Only someone like Björk can pull off those Bride of Chucky-meets-haute couture looks from the latest collection.) I’ve been in need of a new wallet lately, and my jaw nearly hit the keyboard when I saw these new CDG Christmas limited-edition metallic foil numbers ($115 to 160). If you have been keeping up with Style.com, you may know that holographic pieces are my favorite micro-trend for Spring, so these wallets have been a siren song in my inbox for the last week. Also worth mentioning: CDG recently collaborated with the omnipresent Cambridge Satchels on a line of equally covetable, metallic bags.
The limited-edition wallets hit stores in November. The Cambridge Satchels are available in stores now.
