Amazing, because who wants to let their cards shuffle around in their clutch? One common problem that seems to arise when using one of my evening bags is that some of them are just too small for even my smallest wallet. Card holders are the perfect fit.

The Yves Saint Laurent card holder in textured gold leather retails for $140. There are only two slots, which is perfect for me.
