I've carried one of these for years. Yes, it's Coach, but it is quite well made. Minimalist, but it can be carried in the front pants pocket which I like.

I found it at the outlet in Mallzac for cheaper than list price.
For travel, I have a travel wallet that can take receipts etc and I carry in my jacket pocket. It's a big one with a passport spot and everything, probably overkill.
