What Luxury Wallet is Best for College Kids?

When we think of luxury brands, we do not typically think of college students. We associate college students with ramen, sleeping in a room with 3 other people, thrift stores, and other budget decision making. We associate luxury brands with wealth, affluence, and those that want to project that to others.

College kids need a nice wallet. They need a nice wallet because they’re adults, because they need to have something they can be proud of, and because they’re going to be using their wallet a lot more now that they’re on their own. Wallets also make a great gift.

But your college student probably doesn’t need a *luxury brand* wallet. Luxury wallet, yes, but luxury brand? Most of those wallets:

• Don’t fit the clothing and style of the college student.
• Are larger, bulky, and not made to be on the go.
• Too costly to lose, and in the hands of someone potentially not used to caring for their wallet.

It’s also important to understand that luxury brands are not necessarily luxury wallets. Many of the world’s most highly regarded brands make wallets designed to show off the brand, but are not actually thin, comfortable, minimalist, and sleek the way a true wallet is meant to be. They’re a style choice, not a functional accessory.

So What Kind of Luxury Wallet Should College Students Have?

College students should still have a luxury wallet. But they should also have a wallet they can:

• Use every day.
• Hold and use without worrying about hurting its value.
• Fit with any outfit they decide to wear.
• Look great in photos (more on that in a moment)

They should have a wallet that doesn’t look like they’re trying to show off wealth, especially in college, but still feel like they can show off and feel confident with. 

Keep in mind that many cheaper wallets *and* designer brand wallets are also bulky. College students, as you are aware, take a lot of photos. If the wallet is bulky, it will show up as a bulge in that photo. A thin and minimalist luxury wallet helps to address this. 

College students that are gifted a luxury wallet are going to associate that wallet with their college experience, and potentially continue to use the wallet in the months and years to come because, unlike cheaper wallets, it will remain intact. But they can also do so without the associations that come with luxury brands, giving them both a higher quality wallet and one that is better for their needs.
