Matt & Nat are one of the best-known vegan brands and have some of the best vegan wallets, or at least the widest range. I have a Matt and Nat wallet that I’ve owned for nearly 10 years and it’s still going strong! I’m really happy with how durable it’s been.

Leafii leaf wallets
Use "THEVEGANWORD" for 10% off!
100% vegan company
My pick: Alexis wallet
Leaf leather? Yes, it's a thing! These leather free wallets are made of LEAVES! How cool is that? I remember seeing it a few years ago and a vegan fair and being amazed.
Ever wondered "How are vegan wallets made?" The process varies by material but for leaf leather: using a traditional Thai process, teak leaves are collected off the ground (or a few low level leaves are clipped, but trees are never cut), soaked and dyed. They are then coated in BOPP film, a non-toxic and biodegradable polymer that when incinerated only lets off water vapor and carbon dioxide. Leaf leather doesn't need to be treated, like animal leather. Simply wipe clean with a damp cloth (and mild soap if needed).
My pick is the Alexis wallet. As far as non leather mens wallets go, this has to be one of the most eco-friendly. Each wallet is unique look due to the leaves, which in my view is a great thing. It would also make a great gift! The Alexis has 6 card slots, 2 front slots and a longer slot for cash.

My pick: Corkor vegan RFID wallet
Corkor makes cork-based bags and wallets. Men's cork wallets such as these are well-designed, durable and sustainable. Cork is one of the most sustainable materials, thanks to the fast-growing properties of cork trees, plus the fact that they can be harvested without cutting the trees down. They also don't require much input in the way of water or fertiliser.
My top pick cork wallet is this vegan card holder that's also RFID blocking. This non leather card holder has 3 card slots, an ID window and 2 compartments for folded bills. Like all cork materials, this Corkor wallet is lightweight (it weighs 0.7 oz / 20 grams. The other great thing about a cork leather wallet is that cork is naturally water resistant and scratch resistant.
