One of the most important things you carry on a daily basis is your wallet. It stores your credit cards, cash and most of your other daily necessities. While traveling, a wallet is even more important since it's where you'll carry your travel documents, passports tickets and other important information. Our bi-fold wallets are perfect for every day use, while a RFID Crossbody Organizer is a great option for a lady who wants the option to wear her wallet over her shoulder sometimes, and carry it as a clutch at other times. Another important travel consideration to keeping your valuables safe from theft is a money belt or secret stash -- you never know when shady characters could be after your goods.

RFID Blocking Technology
You may have noticed that we've mentioned RFID blocking technology quite a few times. In case you're unfamiliar with the term, we'll fill you in on why it's so important to us -- and why it should be to you. RFID technology (Radio Frequency Identification) is gaining popularity with credit card companies, governments and other entities. It's a chip that's being inserted into credit cards and Passports that's used to identify and track information. You can imagine the mayhem that would ensue if someone were able to pick up and steal your personal information. It'd be an absolute nightmare. And unfortunately, with the right technology, it's possible: your information can be recorded, cloned and used to steal your identity and commit credit card fraud. For this reason, we have a slew of products that incorporate RFID blocking technology to keep your information safe, whether you're traveling to another country or just down the road.
