From your passport to boarding passes to credit cards, staying organized is important while in transit—that’s where the travel wallet comes in. Designed with purposeful pockets, pouches, and card slips, it’s an essential piece for keeping your information handy, yet safe.

“Having a travel wallet helps organize all your key information, cards, passports, and currencies as you cross multiple borders.”

Whether you’re flying through a bustling airport or crossing a border by train or automobile, you never want to be without your important paperwork. “Having a travel wallet helps organize all your key information, cards, passports, and currencies as you cross multiple borders,” says Victor Sanz, creative director of Tumi. “[It] helps make sure it’s easy to access all your documents as you’ll have to remove them multiple times.”

If your summer vacation is taking you abroad or through various cities, he says a wallet with multiple compartments is best: “It makes the experience much easier and more seamless.” Look for ones that have extra compartments to separate currency from different countries; for extra security, invest in one that zips all the way around (especially if you want to carry it solo); and know that there’s no such thing as too many dividers. Find one that ticks all your boxes and you’ll stay calm, cool, and (most importantly) collected…even at Customs.
