Herschel Charlie Wallet
The Herschel Charlie is a fabric bifold built from recycled polyester with RFID blocking built in, and it hits a price point that's hard to argue with for what you get. It won't develop any patina or age with the character of leather, but recycled polyester at a high weave density is genuinely tough and easy to care for. The RFID layer is a nice inclusion at this price. It's more of a practical daily carry than a considered BIFL purchase — Herschel makes solid everyday products without pretending to be an heirloom brand, and the Charlie fits that honest positioning.
A good fit if you want a no-fuss fabric wallet with RFID protection at the lowest price in the category and don't care about leather aging.
