As the last quarter of the year approaches, many are dusting off suitcases and gearing up to travel in style. And because passport cases are commonplace these days, they have been segmented into three categories for easy reference.
Firstly, passport holders that come with a fold-over clasp. Call it a case of great minds think alike, with Hermès and Prada both introducing new styles with a snap button clasp for that extra bit of security.
The R.M.S. Passport Holder (SGD1150) is crafted in Evercolor calfskin with the palladium-plated Clou de Selle hardware, while Prada’s Passport Holder (SGD1000) returns in the inimitable Saffiano leather with enamelled metallic triangle logo. The latter also offers three card slots and multiple inner pockets for travel cards and spare cash.
Then there are those that feature classic monograms, and you can count on Dior and Louis Vuitton to deliver. The iconic #DiorOblique features on the 30 Montaigne Passport Holder (SGD650). Dior cleverly elevates the blue jacquard by blending in the gold-tone CD signature.
Similarly, My LV Heritage Passport Cover (SGD855) showcases the French maison’s signature monogram. You can take even advantage of the Louis Vuitton’s personalisation services to embellish it with additional stripes and initials to make it truly your own.
Lastly, full-leather styles with signature detailing from the likes of Bottega Veneta and Saint Laurent. The intrecciato woven detailing on the Intrecciato Passport Case (SGD620) needs no introduction, having been a part of Bottega Veneta’s DNA for several years now.
Saint Laurent’s take with the Tiny Cassandre Passport Case (SGD650) combines the YSL logo with crocodile-embossed leather. The result is a seductive combination true to the French fashion house’s aesthetic.
