5 Vegan Wallets For 2026
The Good Trade editors endorse products weโve personally researched, tested, and genuinely love. Learn more about our methodology and business model here.
Did you know the modern meaning of the term โwalletโ (a flat case for carrying paper money) was first used in 1834? For nearly 200 years, theyโve been the dependable go-to for everything we need in our day-to-day lives, from ID cards and licenses to credit cards and business cards. Throughout those centuries, the most durable wallets have been made with leatherโuntil now.
In more recent years, manufacturers have looked into vegan alternatives to leather. Ranging from recycled canvas and even recycled windshield glass to certified organic cactus and pineapple leather, there are now plenty of durable materials that donโt involve animal byproducts or animal cruelty.
Weโve rounded up a few brands offering vegan wallets as of summer 2026, sourcing all kinds of styles and sizes like mini coin purses, card holders, and larger zippered wallets. Whatever youโre looking for, youโll find an animal-friendly option here.

Since its inception in 2010, Pixie Mood has been consciously leather-freeโand the brandโs sustainable practices and ethics have only evolved over time.

2. Monos

For travel goods that are stylish as they are durable, we like Monos โ and the Folio Kit is our preference when weโre roaming the world. Made from ultra-microfiber vegan leather (from a mix of microfiber and polyurethane resin) in nine colors, this water-resistant kit fits everything you needโฆand we mean everything. In addition to carrying your credit cards, the folio also includes pockets for a mini-tablet, passport and travel docs, holders for pens, and more, while still fitting easily into your hands.

3. Hozen
Vegan Materials | Water-based PU vegan leather, recycled hemp label, vegan adhesive, recycled plastic thread

Hozen (which means โconservationโ in Japanese) is where luxury meets sustainability. Goods here are made locally in the Boyle Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles, where makers receive fair wages and safe working conditions. Plus, theyโre made with vegan and recycled materials to avoid any animal byproducts whatsoever. (In fact, the brand is so dedicated to a cruelty-free world that they donate 10 percent of profits to Mercy for Animals!) Hozenโs bags are perfect for carrying on the go, and you can pick from a Card Sling or a Card Holder which combines the simplicity of a card sleeve with the space of a walletโand you can simply โslingโ it on cross-body or add it to your belt loops. Itโs the perfect balance of form and function.
4. Black Nopal
Vegan Materials | Certified organic cactus leather
Price | $49โ$89
Black Nopal leverages the use of cactus for its vegan leather, and hereโs how: Mature cactus leaves are cut off, mashed, and air-dried into a leather-like texture. Itโs sustainable, fully organic, and durableโand better yet, itโs UV- and cold-resistant, easy to clean, and free of any plastic or PVC. The end products are beautiful vegan leather wallets, from cardholders to zippered wallets to bi-folds all under $100. Depending on your needs, you can keep things easy peasy with a six-slot cardholder or try a zippered wallet made with a carrying strap, cash slot, and eight card slots. Itโs the ideal leather alternative thatโs sure to lastโwithout any negative impact.
5. Matt & Nat
Vegan Materials | Recycled windshield glass, recycled water bottles, AppleSkin

Canadian brand Matt & Nat has long been a leader in vegan handbags, which is probably why you can find nearly 60 different styles to choose from here! From vintage-style vegan wallets to vegan coin purses, every design is made with myriad materials, like natural fruit waste, recycled windshield glass and water bottles, and canvas. And theyโre all PETA approved as well, so you can check โentirely veganโ and โcruelty-freeโ off your list.
