Statement-Worthy Comme des Garcons Wallets
Rei Kawakubo, the founder and designer of Comme des Garcons, a brand a part of a new generation of style, helping to redefine fashion and the way we think of streetwear. Born in Tokyo in 1942, Kawakubo established one of the most sought-after brands in 1971, however, it wasn’t until the late 1970s that the brand started to be adored by the globe for its creations. Renowned for its avant-garde aesthetic and atypical silhouettes in fashion, Comme des Garcons also expand its range to jewelry, perfume and Comme des Garcons wallets for a wider selection of the brand’s forward-looking products.
Comme des Garcons is no stranger to clashing colours and using exaggerated silhouettes, and these wallets are no exception. Crafted to precise standards in Spain, Comme Des Garcons wallets are assembled from a smooth leather, ensuring a long-lasting timeless piece as well as an aesthetically pleasing soft finish. These money storage solutions are brought to life by their striking colours and features while maintaining a minimal and clean look.
Designs vary from unfussy to patterned designs, with the Super Fluo wallet and the Ruby Eyes Wallet delivering a simple design in striking green and blue. The Super Fluo Wallet, shown in the image above, sees a practical element into your outfit, offering two card slots as well as a single note sleeve within its luxury leather composition. Whilst the blue Ruby Eyes wallet also sees this element of effortless luxury, a snake motif is seen slithering from the reverse in a paler blue colour, however, the practical features remain unchanged. This unadorned and manageable structure can be preferred if you are after something more lightweight and less bulky to carry around, this design will also assist to help you look more professional if that’s the look you’re going for.
Boasting a bit more design, however still keeping things to a minimum, the Comme des Garsons wallet in beige, seen in the top right corner of the image above, sees a geometric pattern throughout, giving a more dynamic look however sticking to a neutral colour still shows the minimal side of this wallet. This Comme des Garcons wallet is practical and hard-wearing, multiple card slots and a note compartment can be found inside the wallet, including a button clasp coin pouch and a zip-around fastening that is suited to give anything you want quick access to whilst on the move.
Introducing a bit more pattern into the mix, seen below is the Ruby Eyes pouch in orange showing a saturated snake motif and internal eye levels for an extra design touch. This design adds a playful touch to your daily accessories, something that makes Comme des Garcons so special. Kawakubo has never followed fashion trends and standards, she has always relied on her creativity and that lies among patterns and colours. And it is these visions that made her one of the most influential designers of the late 20th century.
A polka dot is a pattern that frequently appears throughout Comme des Garcons garments, including shoes, tops, and even wallets. The Polka Dot Wallet in Navy is also seen above amongst the other Comme des Garcons wallets, showing the classic polka dot pattern printed on this miniature coin purse. With such elaborate detail on the exterior, the interior sees a generous space for all your coins.
You may have guessed, but Comme des Garcons is a French term. Inspired by Francoise Hardy’s 1962 song “Tous les garcons et Les Filles,” which translates to ‘to all the boys and the girls.’ Kawakubo took much inspiration from this and decided to name her brand Comme des Garcons, translating to ‘like boys’. This is seen on most products as well as other variations such as ‘CDG’ or the brand’s sub-label Comme des Garcons Play logo which shows a heart.
