The French just have a way with certain things, food, quirky cars, and luxury accessories. While men will spend many hours researching the right timepiece or the perfect sunglasses many guys simply have whatever wallet they received as a gift for high school graduation, for most a wallet is more of a utilitarian item. But the right wallet can be a statement piece and an extension of your personal style that speaks volumes about who you are. Here are six French classic bi-fold wallets that will help you up your style game.
Goyard
One of the most respected luxury leather goods makers for over 160 years, they don’t sell online and many of their items are special order. You can visit one of their several boutiques around the world, or their flagship store in Paris. Over the years their clients have included Picasso, Karl Lagerfield, Kanye West, and members of most royal families. Pulling a Goyard wallet out of your pocket shows those who know it that you have timeless style.
