Best for: streamlined family check-ins

Crafted from a combination of soft faux leather and canvas, the Wave Family Passport Holder by Stackers is created with busy parents in mind. The namesake wave-shaped front compartment makes grabbing boarding passes and landing cards effortless, while dedicated interior slots hold up to four passports alongside travel visas, IDs, and lounge access cards. There is also a central elasticated loop for a pen – an indispensable feature when filling in paper arrival forms on long-haul flights – a slim zipped rear pocket for currency, and a sturdy wrist strap for easy carrying through security.

Editor review: “My favourite detail of this travel organiser is the convenient wrist strap. On a recent trip, it was so easy to pull out of my tote bag and hand it straight over to airport staff, who could easily unzip it, check everyone's passports, and hand it right back while we were juggling kids, bags, and buggies.” Lauren Burvill, senior commerce writer.

The Bellroy Travel Folio is the perfect travel wallet for couples travelling together, with space for two passports and multiple cards. But the clever design of this accessory doesn’t stop there. As well as having room for storing bits and pieces in between your documents, in the bulk compartment, there’s also a very handy, hidden compartment for currency, a mini pen and even a dedicated slot to keep your SIM card and ejector pin safe for times you need to switch yours out while away.

This travel wallet is one of the pricier options we’ve found, but as well as the thoughtful design that just makes life so much easier, it’s also been crafted out of full grain leather in six shades, so it looks great too. The added RFID protection also provides peace of mind when on the go.

You’ll have seen Australian luggage brand July featured across a number of our luggage round ups. This brand has won us over with its sleek selection of well-priced, quality cases (Traveller commerce writer Charley Ward uses the brand’s Volume Plus backpack every day). Their travel wallet is no exception. This large nappa leather passport wallet is a perfect buy for anxious travellers. With a built-in AirTag holder and RFID protection, it helps reduce the risk of identity theft and losing your important documents to pickpockets. Of course, there are also three credit card slots, a slip large enough for two passports and additional space for your boarding pass.

We’re moving up a level with this travel wallet from distinguished laeather goods brand, Aspinal. If having a separate wallet with pockets and slots for all your bits and bobs wasn’t enough, the embossed tags on this hand-crafted, full grain leather accessory will have you feeling like the most sorted person in the airport. With this in hand you’ll have sections dedicated to your passport, ticket, documents, and another space for ‘other’ items, as well as a zipped pocket for currency or valuables. When you’re not travelling, you could use this one as a large purse too, by taking out the removable tab section, leaving just an open wallet space. As with all Aspinal pieces, this travel wallet is made from premium leather, it can also be personalised and it comes in a selection of refined colours.

This travel wallet is ideal for packing all your carry-on essentials, making everything you need easy to grab on a long-haul flight. All that, and it’s vegan-friendly, and available in nine shades.

If you’re looking for a travel wallet that looks smart and keeps things simple, this very affordable option from John Lewis is a great choice. There are no unnecessary extras here – slots for your cards, space for two passports (or one passport and a boarding pass), and a zipped pocket for coins and notes. We love the elegant style of this one, with its mock croc faux leather finish, gold hardware, snap-tab fastening and gold foil lettering making the John Lewis bifold travel wallet a sophisticated option that belies its £45 price tag.

Size: 140 x 221mm

Best for: wet weather trips

The Fjallraven’s Kanken range of colourful backpacks can be spotted in every airport and highstreet and with good reason. The weekender is Traveller commerce writer, Charley Ward’s personal bag of choice for short trips – deceptively roomy, with a separate shoe compartment and straps that can be utilised in three ways. Their perfectly paired water-resistant travel wallet completes the set and is equally useful. Despite being light and compact, this polycotton pouch has loads of space inside, designed to keep your phone, cards, passport and travel documents safe and sound. Choose from four colours to match your rucksack.

Anya Hindmarch is known for her love of labelling – her whole travel range has been very thoughtfully designed with an astonishing number of pockets, all of which have a very specific, and clearly marked, purpose. The Travel Wallet is no different, with gold embossed lettering indicating exactly where to put your tickets, boardings passes, passports, currency and cards. You can personalise this holder too, with a note or drawing in your own handwriting, making it a wonderful gift.

The family man, or woman, needs so much more than your average travel wallet. Finding something big enough and that has room for everyone’s documents, not just your own, can be a challenge. But the Family Passport Holder by Torro has taken all of these needs into account and then some. This is every parent’s dream – kids can’t be trusted to keep their passports and tickets safe, but this holder (and presumably its owner) can.

With room to hold an impressive four passports, five cards and multiple boarding passes and documents, everyone is taken care of here. For added security, this wallet is also equipped with RFID protection and has a seriously sturdy zip closure.

Key specs:

Features: Top grain leather, RFID blocking, zip closure, four pockets, four passport slots, five card slots, one pen loop
