You protect your phone access with a password; you lock the hardrive on your computer, so why not protect your wallet with modern technology? The $825 biometrically protected wallet from Dunhill can only be opened by swiping your fingerprint, so while thieves may be able to snatch it, they won’t be able to open it.

This Mission Impossible wallet even lets you know when it’s been forgotten – or stolen- thanks to the Bluetooth link to your phone which sends a loud alarm if the two are more than 5 meters apart.

The exterior of the wallet is constructed from highly durable carbon fiber that will resist forceful opening while the interior features a luxurious leather credit card holder and a strong stainless steel money clip. Worth every cent.
