Making your first designer purchase is no easy feat. We know how hard it is to choose “the one” that you will love, cherish, and (especially) swiftly get its ROI. In our opinion, there’s one designer item you can never go wrong with and that’s a wallet or a cardholder! Many designer brands offer a variety of wallets, from long wallets to card holders, and we know how hard it is to choose just one. Lucky for you, local celebs have the best recommendations for you!
Below, we’ve rounded up 10 celebrity-approved wallets that you should consider buying for your first designer purchase!
1. Bea Alonzo
Bea shares that she doesn’t like bigger wallets and she prefers more compact ones like the Dior Saddle Flap Card Holder! Who can resist this classic piece, anyway? Dior’s iconic oblique print and easily recognizable saddle silhouette, this cardholder is definitely a great purchase if you’re not yet willing to splurge on the fashion house’s bags but if you still want a touch of Dior in your collection.

2. Heart Evangelista
Heart’s wallet of choice is the Lady Dior Lotus Wallet in Strawberry Pink! This compact wallet is an ode to Dior’s iconic Lady Dior bag and features Cannage topstitching and the classic “DIOR” charm. Despite it’s compact size, it’s able to hold cards, bills, and even coins!
