Angela Adams, $63 (top left)

Supple brown leather lines the inside of this wallet, which is covered in a blue-and-citron patterned fabric. The coin pouch is divided (to keep those annoying pennies separate), and four card slots and pockets afford plenty of storage space. Also in black-and-gray and tangerine-and-pink.

Designers' Guild, $55 (top right)

The zippered coin pouch inside this leather billfold is just big enough for an afternoon’s worth of parking-meter change. Five card slots, a large compartment for bills, and two pockets for receipts provide room for shopping essentials. Also in six other colors.

Rafe, $135 (bottom left)

The two deep pockets of this petite leather pick let you file cash and receipts separately, without anything peeking out. The pebbled black exterior makes the lining’s hot pink leather pop, while eight slots hold your gym and Blockbuster cards. Also in mocha, teal, and orchid.

Kenneth Cole New York, $65 (bottom right)

It may be diminutive, but this wine-colored bifold wallet packs a big punch. The zip-around coin pocket is divided into two sections, each with a spot for credit cards. Keep your ID in the inner cutout window for easy viewing. Also in green.
