Discover 5 Affordable Key Pouches You Need to Know

My current key pouch looks like this:

My key pouch has served me well, but it’s showing its age and isn’t the most user-friendly. The tight opening and stubborn zipper have pushed me to find a new, more practical option. While the Louis Vuitton Key Pouch was my first choice, its 495 Australian dollars price tag is a bit steep for a small leather good. So, I embarked on a search for more affordable alternatives. Here are five budget-friendly options that might just fit the bill:

1. Kate Spade Leila Small Card Holder Wristlet

While this is a card holder wristlet, which would make it thinner than the Louis Vuitton Key Pouch, functionally it has 2 card slots in the exterior, ensuring that cards wouldn’t get scratched and being able to also hold it by the wrist is great for situations when you need to be hands-free. It should be noted that it only comes in black and brown pebbled leather, whereas the Louis Vuitton Key Pouch has a bit more variety.

2. & Chouette Monogram Key Case

This Japanese brand offers the most affordable option in my list, primarily due to it being made of faux leather. The & Chouette Monogram Key Case is priced well below the Louis Vuitton counterpart and sports a feminine palette. It’s smaller but thicker, making it ideal for fitting a key fob. It also features a hook for attaching to bags or belts and 2 internal card slots.

3. Oroton Margot Key Ring Pouch

Oroton, an Australian brand, brings us the Margot Key Ring Pouch with a unique snap closure. This key pouch stands out with its envelope shape and key ring attachment, priced at just 70 Australian dollars RRP. Currently you can find the Dusk Blue and Moss colours at a discounted price of 60 Australian dollars. While it might not fit a key fob, it’s perfect for those who carry only a few keys. Its affordability and stylish design make it a solid contender.

4. Dress Up Your Purse Togo Leather Key Pouch

During my exploration of mid-range handbags on YouTube, I stumbled upon the brand Dress Up Your Purse (hereafter DUYP). Their Togo Leather Key Pouch, made from material often used in Hermes bags, intrigued me. It’s much cheaper than the Louis Vuitton option, but unfortunately, I couldn’t get it in black, my preferred colour. Despite this, there is a huge selection of colours to choose from though, and I’ve been tempted by those, especially the Lambskin Rainbow Leather Key Pouch. Also included in their offerings are two types of hardware: gold-toned and silver-toned.

5. Lanvin En Bleu Melanie Leather Multi-Case With Keyring

From the Japanese offshoot of Lanvin, this item is like the Kate Spade Leila Small Card Holder Wristlet, but with a whopping 6 external card slots and a removable keyring. It’s currently only available in the colour Pink Beige with a dotted cotton lining inside for a feminine touch.

Honourable Mentions

Also a special mention to the DUYP Mini Envelope Bag Charm range, as while they’re more similar to the Louis Vuitton Kirigami Pouch Bag Charm and Key Holder, they are functionally similar to a key pouch. The variety of colours is just as expansive if not more so than the key pouch range, with there being a Summer Collection as well and aside from Togo leather, other materials including Epsom leather and Vachetta are also offered. I have the Navy Mini Envelope Bag Charm that only comes with the Togo Leather Envelope Trio Clutch Set with Silver Hardware, which has a blog post with review of it, and while I plan to do a more thorough review of this set later, right now I can say that I adore it so far and has helped in organising the contents of my bag in a more systematic way.

Another honourable mention is the Furla Camelia Key Case, which is also similar in silhouette to the Kate Spade Leila Small Card Holder Wristlet but the main differences include:

• Lacks a wristlet;
• Has 1 inner card compartment and 1 open pocket on the back instead of 2 external card slots and an ID window; and
• There are 4 colours to choose from (Nero, Ballerina, Marmo and Mineral Green) instead of just 2.
