This article goes out to the ladies who are feeling left out after the boys got their selection sorted out for the season. New wallets are always a great start for the new year, and those looking to get something new will find the shortlisted ones here will suit most tastes.

Whether you’re going for a folded style or prefer something with extra zips, these 6 wallets (some icons, some new) all make for worthy contenders to consider for the upcoming holidays. Plus, they will make great festive gifts too.

Going in alphabetical order, the list starts with Bottega Veneta’s Bi-Fold Zip Wallet (SGD820) in Bonbon pink. This modern intrecciato version opens to 6 card slots with a single note compartment and zipped coin purse to keep your items neatly in place. Purchase online via Bottega Veneta

Then there’s the Micro Trifold (SGD870) from Fendi which comes in the softest Nappa leather delicately embossed with the FF motif. The trifold format also allows you to keep bigger bills along with receipts and the like, while maintaining a smaller (and more compact) silhouette when it’s fully closed. Purchase online via Fendi

Gucci calls this the Diana Card Case Wallet (SGD870), and it makes perfect sense considering the bamboo element is featured prominently in its new line of of Diana handbags as well. The pastel pink wallet comes with 5 card slots along with an open pocket and L-zip compartment tucked within the interior.

Willing to splurge a little? Go for Hermès’ Bearn Compact Verso Wallet (SGD3600) in Epsom calfskin leather. A bi-coloured option that’s different from standard classics like Étoupe and Noir, this delightful piece features a Rose Confetti exterior contrasted with an exciting Sésame brown interior. 4 card slots, 4 pockets and a single zipper change purse are good enough for a day out, and you should take extra care not to overstuff your wallet to prolong its lifespan. Purchase online via Hermès

The Capucines Compact Wallet (SGD1390) in Magnolia is an excellent choice for those who prefer a full-leather SLG from Louis Vuitton. Taurillon leather is known for its soft and supple properties, and this particular piece is also slightly larger than the rest at 13.5 cm wide and 9.5 cm high. A quick peek within reveals 8 different slots for cards, along with 2 flat pockets, 1 bill compartment and a long zipped pocket for storing coins and the like. Purchase online via Louis Vuitton

Lastly, Prada’s Small Saffiano Leather Wallet (SGD860) makes for a discreet option thanks to its varnished metal lettering logo in a tonal Alabaster Pink. The Saffiano leather is a sturdy material for daily use, and you will find several compartments (2 for bills and coins) and pockets (2 internal and 1 external) to keep all your items neatly in place. Purchase online via Prada
