Open Thread: What's your favorite minimalist wallet?
Merlin Mann | Apr 21 2006
Like most 43F articles on economical carriage and stowage, the Jimi post attracted a lot of interest. Makes me think it's time for an open thread: What's your favorite minimalist wallet? Jimi? Slimmy? Moneyclip? Coin purse? Goin' commando? Spill in comments (and feel free to link to canonical product pages or price compar-i-nators like Froogle). My own winner for minimalism? Starting before a trip to New York in the late 80s, I started wrapping my driver's license, ATM card, and a bill or two in a couple of my Goody pony tail holders (shut up). I think that was my wallet for at least the next two years -- until I got my first real job and decided to go cowhide again. Still, it remains one of my favorites. 212 Comments

Coach gets the nod from...Submitted by Keely Dunn (not verified) on April 21, 2006 - 1:03pm.
Coach gets the nod from me, but an even more minimalist version than the card cases mentioned elsewhere in this thread: the Mini Skinny. Mine happens to be a lovely shade of pink but don't let that scare you boys away, they have manly colours too. One pocket - that's right! ONE pocket - on the outside fits the four cards I need (1 debit, 1 credit, DL and 2 business cards or my Starbucks card). The interior pocket is zipped and hides the key ring, quarter-folded cash and big coins (loonies and toonies, which will be understood by only my fellow Canadians or those who love us). All other coins find an immediate home in charity tins at the store. As for the loyalty cards, I have a plastic sleeve wallet insert that sits in my car's console for shopping trips. Of course, this teensy minimalist wallet finds a home in one of my many huge handbags that can hold my 12" Powerbook, a complete "face" of makeup, my Treo and headset, a large water bottle, a spring jacket... but at least my wallet is tiny. And darn cute. » POSTED IN:
