Would You Pay $1400 for A Travel Wallet?

$1,400 for a red crocodile travel wallet—would you pony up the money for it? Now, what about if we told you that it's a Tiffany & Co. wallet, and remember that it's real crocodile? We're just wondering, because that's one of the star items in the new Tiffany leather goods collection, designed by leather experts Lamberson Truex. And we have a feeling that now that the little blue box with the white ribbon can contain such a wallet, Tiffany isn't too far off from manufacturing luggage.

Just to be fair, this travel wallet is so pricey because of the croc; their other travel wallets average $500, so it's still nothing close to a bargain piece of travel gear.

Because we can't imagine paying in the quadruple digits for someone that will eventually get shoved into our purse after security more times than we can count, plus all the worry we'd have toting something like it around the world, we've picked out two other items from the Tiffany leather collection which we think are better suited to travel.

One is the $395 reversible suede tote, with detachable zipper pouch. It can be either natural suede and metallic gold or Tiffany blue and metallic silver, depending on which one you go for. The other item is a $145 patent leather passport case in Tiffany blue, because we figure if you're set on buying something for travel from Tiffany, then you might as well make it their signature color and something you definitely need.

Or are you still in love with that red crocodile travel wallet for $1400?
