True to its name, the Micro wallet in Monogram canvas is an exceptionally compact design that can be slipped into any pocket or bag. Its envelope-style flap opens to reveal a smooth leather lining with a bill compartment and three card slots.

Although many people still say cash is king, diversifying payment methods with a mix of credit or debit cards and digital wallets gives you more flexibility. This approach ensures you're prepared for various scenarios where you might need to make payments and also means you don't need to carry large amounts of cash.
