It’s interesting how one of the most iconic magic items fromDungeons & Dragonsis a container. The Bag of Holding is arguably second only to basic +N magical arms and armor in recognizability, ahead of flashier, potentially more interesting items like the Deck of Many Things or the Orbs of Dragonkind. Perhaps, when it comes down to it, carrying stuff around very effectively is simply a more fundamental necessity than enthralling dragons to work your will or killing yourself instantly by drawingThe Void.
Accordingly, we’re here today to showcase some containers, specifically wallets, that are likely to be of interest to fantasy fans.
Sagefinds Book of Wealth Wallet
Dungeons and Dragons Logo Faux Leather Bifold Wallet
Glittering silver (which happens to be the best species of D&D dragon)
This officially licensed D&D wallet bears a number of iconic game elements, including dragons themselves and a d20 that just rolled a critical success.
We begin with a relatively simple choice. This bifold wallet isfull of iconic Dungeons and Dragons stuff. Its design depicts a d20 in its most desirable state, having just rolled a critical success, and its inside contains a simple but useful series of pockets for your various cards.
Of note is the color of the dragons. They’re silver. Given that everything else in the image is silver, too, this doesn’t totally confirm that they are, in fact, the honorable and noble Silver Dragons of D&D lore, but we can’t imagine why you would choose not to interpret them that way.
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Men’s Bifold Wallet
A fearsome red dragon
Another red wallet, this time featuring a red dragon, this wallet was crafted to tie into the recent Dungeons and Dragons movie, Honor Among Thieves.
If you’re wondering how many of these wallets are going to have dragons, well, half of them, actually. We’ll be exploringsome more varied designsin a minute, but this officially licensed product warrants our attention first.
Designed to tie into Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, this sleek item bears the image of the fearsome red dragon. Though the silver dragon isin theorythe best, it’s generally a better ally than enemy. This dragon is one your party is more likely to face on the field of battle.
D&D Holder Of Money Engraved Wallet
There are four jokes on it and they’re all good
Laser-engraved onto this wallet is a description of its magical counterpart, the +2 Holder of Money, including important advice on how to use it safely.
We began this article by noting that two of the most well-known magic items in D&D are the Bag of Holding and the basic +N enhanced weaponry. Those are the oneseven newbieswill probably know about through cultural osmosis. This item references both of them, promising a +2 enhancement in its ability to carry your money. Precisely how this enhances the wallet is unclear, but this high-quality product’s ability to carry money is likely to satisfy regardless.
Nemesis Now Ravens Flight Frauen Geldbörse
It’s absolutely gorgeous
This beautifully designed wallet contains that most gothic and ominous of animals, the raven, perfect for casters in need of a money-holding familiar.
This women’s wallet is perfect for the witches among us, carrying a beautiful design full of curves, purple flowers, dark gems, and, as its centerpiece, a raven. The bird looks amazing, and is integrated into the wallet’s design really well, both aesthetically, and in the fact that one of its wings serves as the wallet’s clasp. It just might be the best looking item on this list.
Nemesis Now Tree of Life Pagan Moon Purse
Really carries the mystical feel
This wallet bears an elaborate design depicting a mystical tree, identified as a “tree of life.” The large item’s magical aesthetic is perfect for fantasy fans, and also just plain gorgeous.
From the same manufacturer as the last product comes another item with a more mystical version of its witch theme. This design depicts a mystical tree, identified as a tree of life. What exactly this means is not elaborated upon, and it’s not entirely clear why the fruit of a tree of life should consist of gems and silver stars, but that just adds to the mystical aura this product is going for, and which it very much manages to have.
Nemesis Now Women’s Barock, Gold Dragon
There’s less going on here, but its simplicity is a virtue
Though the red dragon in this design doesn’t quite have the vibe of a D&D red dragon, it is quite beautiful and integrated well into this admittedly simpler design.
Once again, from the same manufacturer above comes another design that uses the wing of its central creature as a clasp. This red dragon on a relatively simple background still has a great look to it. It’s large, with plenty of space for a variety of belongings.
Nemesis Now Women’s Gothic, Blue Dragon
One cannot help but want to meet her
A recolor of the item above, this blue and purple dragon is absolutely gorgeous, and goes very well with the blue pattern background onto which it has been placed.
If you’ve been paying close attention, you might have worked out that, in accordance with what we said earlier about half of these designs featuring dragons, this is our last dragon for today. It takes the previous item and recolors it to better match the gothic feel of the other nemesis items above, and it cannot be stressed enough that it’s justreallypretty.
We don’t know what happened to the first three volumes
Our favorite of the handful of book-themed designs we considered for this list, this item once again evokes the naming patterns common for fantasy objects.
Our final item today, this book-themed wallet may not be the book it claims to be, but it certainly contains exactly what it claims it does. We considered a handful of bookish wallets for this list, including some that claimed to be spellbooks, but none of them could top the appropriateness of this product’s self-identification as a book of wealth. Unlike most books that claim to contain wealth, this one is likely to make good on its promise.
FAQ
Are expensive wallets worth it?
This is obviously a matter of opinion, but we don’t really think so, at least not if you’re the kind of person who would appreciate the theming and designs of these items.
How do I choose a new wallet?
You’re going to be doing two things with your new wallet: carrying it around and looking at it. Pick one that holds what you need it to hold, that you think you’ll find easy enough to carry around, and that you like the look of.
