What wallet do you use?

I don't have a specific luxury wallet suggestion, but I'll share a recent experience. For decades I carried a tri-fold wallet. Nothing huge, but plenty of room for cards of all types, a full size area for cash, and so forth. About a year ago I gave in to the fact that my then current wallet had seen better days and started looking for a new one. Long story short I ended up with what I'll call a minimalist bi-fold, which I purchased at Eddie Bauer (I tried to find a link, but it doesn't look like it's currently available). License on one side, 3 slots for cards on the other, along with a opening behind the card holder that I use for a few bills folded in half. It's turned out to be a great decision. Thin, light, and there's room for everything that I actually need. My world has changed. I no longer need a large number of cards, and I no longer use cash all that often. A small wallet is a good fit for me, and may be something to consider as you evaluate your options.

Where possible, I use a Gucci wallet - has 4 card slots (so 2 credit cards, 1 ATM card, 1 drivers license) and a clip for cash, and so remains very slim and easy to carry.

Hartmann Side by Side Billfold Wallet. 723 Side By Side . Slimmest wallet I've ever owner and one of the longest lasting. My first one lasted well over a decade. It is slim because it allows credit cards to essentially be stacked into 4 piles which eliminates the bulge from having cards spread stacked. I think they are discontinued because I couldn't find them on the Hartmann site or in retailers who carry Hartmann. Finally found some NOS on Ebay.

Tumi here, primarily because I wanted a wallet protected from card-scanning. I grew very, very tired of having to watch for improper charges to my account every time I returned from traveling.

Of the wallets posted in the OP, the MB looks the best by far IMHO. One of my friends carries a very similar MB, and it has held up well. We had that conversation this past week while we were bored and stuck in an airport.
