Gifts: WANT LES ESSENTIELS PASSPORT WALLET

This WANT Les Essentiels passport wallet has been gaining quite a bit of press lately as an excellent gift item. Just two weeks ago it was featured by men.style.com's 2007 Gift Guide (see the wallet on slide 75.) Being nestled in between accessories by Prada, Jil Sander, Burberry, Cartier, Paul Smith, et al, the wallet is definitely in good company.

"We've all laughed at that guy in the airport who keeps his passport and travel documents in a fanny pack—but at least he knows where everything is. Thankfully, there's a more stylish way to avoid rummaging in the recesses of your hand luggage when you reach immigration: Want Les Essentials' Manley passport wallet has pockets for visas, tickets, numerous currencies, and anything else you might need while traveling. For a travel wallet, the Manley also has a suitably international provenance—it's designed by a French Canadian company and made in Italy from Norwegian leather."
