Traveler editors love Cuyana for its chic travel accessories, and the brand’s passport case is no exception. Made from soft and supple Italian leather, this ultra-lightweight case clocks in at just five ounces and offers an interior slip pocket for stashing your boarding pass or extra cash.

There’s no denying that the Fjällräven Passport Wallet was designed with durability in mind.

Open up the passport wallet to reveal open pockets for credit cards and cash plus a small zippered coin compartment.
Allive genuine leather passport holder
This passport holder is unique in that it’s constructed with leather scraps, making it a more eco-friendly alternative to a traditional leather passport. Best of all, it offers a built-in AirTag holder for an added sense of security should it accidentally go missing. Inside, there are also two open slots for credit cards and cash, in addition to the actual passport compartment. Shoppers can select from three neutral color options: black, beige, and dark brown.
July small travel wallet
While you may know July for its functional and lightweight luggage, don’t sleep on its sleek leather passport holder, especially if you hold dual citizenship or are traveling with a child. Despite its compact size, it’s designed to hold up to two passports, while the center pocket can be used to safely stow away cash. It also offers RFID-blocking technology as an added bonus. Take your pick of three color options: oyster (beige), black, and a fun plum/blush pink combo.

Featuring a faux leather construction—plus a playful gold-hued airplane printed in the top-left corner—this passport case is just .18 pounds. Despite how lightweight it is, the passport holder is durable enough to store recipes, cash, boarding passes, credit cards, ID card, and a slew of other important travel documents. The elastic band and magnetic clasp keep everything secure.
Ralph Lauren Toledo leather passport holder
Sometimes, the simplest accessories are the most timeless: just take this Ralph Lauren Toledo leather passport holder, for example. With its durable cowhide construction and beautiful buttery soft suede accents, this passport case—which comes in Navy and Saddle (similar to a chestnut hue)—exudes elegance in every sense. Plus, the front-strap closure adds an extra level of security—no need to worry about your money or travel documents falling out.
Paravel Cabana passport case
Whether you’re jetting off to the isles of Greece or the beaches of the Caribbean (or somewhere else entirely), Paravel’s Cabana passport case makes for the perfect summer travel accessory thanks to its stylish canvas construction and bright-hued accents. It also features two interior slip pockets, eight card slots, and, best of all, a stain-resistant silicone coating to shield against any accidental spillage or mishaps (we’ve all been there). Plus, as part of the brand’s commitment to sustainability, this passport holder uses recycled vegan leather and is made with four upcycled plastic bottles.
Bottega Veneta passport holder
The Italian fashion house is beloved for its trademark woven leather design featured here. This passport holder—which is made in Italy out of 100 percent calfskin—is just as functional as it is sophisticated, with five card slots and two pockets. We’d also be remiss not to call out its neutral (albeit stunning!) navy blue hue.
Graphic Image passport case
This Graphic Image personalized passport case makes a thoughtful gift for any traveler in your life since it can be monogrammed with up to three initials.

Shoppers can choose from eight stunning hues, including Nile blue, scarlet red, and rose pink—matching luggage tags are available too.
Longchamp Le Foulloné leather passport cover
For a truly timeless option, look no further than the Longchamp Le Foulloné leather passport cover.

Stoney Clover Lane passport case
Made with textured vegan leather, this Stoney Clover Lane passport case comes in a whopping 16 shades, ranging from cheery yellow and bubblegum pink to bright green and sky blue, and makes for a great stocking stuffer for younger travelers.

Royce RFID-blocking passport organizer
As its name suggests, the leather Royce RFID-blocking passport holder features RFID-blocking technology for added peace of mind, keeping hackers from getting ahold of your personal data, via radio frequency. (The same technology that allows you to hold your card up to a machine instead of having to swipe or insert it.) The lined interior—which has several credit card slots—offers easy access to your smallest (and perhaps most essential) belongings. Choose from 11 colors; monogramming is also complimentary.
