work handbag

Costa Rican artisan Guisselle Mora works with genuine leather in a ginger tone to handcraft a precious card wallet with five compartments. The whole item is embellished with Celtic knots symbolizing eternal life and luck.

Fireworks explode in a shower of gold on both sides of this rich brown leather wallet clutch from Bali's Tuniyaton. The clutch is functional as well as beautiful, with a fabric-lined interior featuring 12 card slots, a zippered pocket for coins, and two open pockets for paper bills. A jaunty leather tassel adorns the zipper pull. The artisan names her creation after Prambanan, a temple in central Java.

Copper and mahogany shades bathe the baroque accents that characterize this noble creation. India's Vikram Uberoi works with leather to create this wallet, whose practical design merges with classic gallantry. Six card slots, two hidden pockets and a generous bill compartment compose the design, ideal for the everyday.
