Doctor Who Wallets - The Amazon Choices
Here are our three Amazon choices: two Underground Toys bifolds and a blue Scificollector design.
These all have plenty of space inside for your cards, some bills, and of course, your psychic paper!
The Exploding TARDIS
The Van Gogh “Exploding TARDIS” design from The Pandorica Opens — possibly one of my favorite episodes ever, so a wallet with this design has to be my favorite.
A vinyl bifold with a bill compartment, card slots, and a clear ID display. The retailer’s description confirms that layout.
Pros: Iconic design, clear ID display
Cons: Vinyl won’t develop the patina of the leather designs below.
The Distressed TARDIS
Following on from the exploding TARDIS is this distressed bifold. (Well, you’d be feeling distressed if you’d blown up the universe, wouldn’t you?)
Faux leather with the TARDIS windows and “Police Box” signage. Approximately 4 3/4” x 3 1/2” closed.
Pros: Bold TARDIS-door design, conventional bifold layout
Cons: At about 4¾ x 3½ inches closed, it’s bigger than a slim cardholder. This bold, instantly recognizable design is sure to catch the eye of other Whovians wherever you go, though!
Scificollector TARDIS Deluxe Wallet
This blue TARDIS design is a shorter alternative to a long zip-around purse. Scificollector identifies the model as TARD-DLX-WAL in its own listing.
Choose it if you prefer the familiar police-box look to the Exploding TARDIS artwork.
Doctor Who Wallets - The Etsy Choices
If you’re a fan of handmade wallets, Etsy is a great place to go looking for one-of-a-kind options. A quick search for Doctor Who wallets brings up a huge range, mostly in that iconic TARDIS blue. We had a hard time narrowing it down, but we tried to find ones we hadn’t seen before.
Handmade TARDIS-Inspired Bifold
The hand-dyed, tooled, and stitched leather bifold is the understated option from our earlier picks. The front panel resembles the TARDIS, with a simple arrangement of card and cash pockets inside.
Because each one is handmade to order, colors can vary a little and it can take a few weeks to arrive. We think this unique design is worth the wait!
Premium Pebbled Italian Leather TARDIS
This one caught our eye because of the materials: pebbled Italian leather with that police-box design. The maker’s 4.0 version adds a silk lining with Van Gogh artwork and silver lettering against a black sign background.
It’s naturally a little more expensive than the others, but if you’re all-in on the Doctor, this may be just what you’re looking for. Buyer Bret Newbould liked the reflective window details and artwork lining in the listing’s reviews. It really does feel “bigger on the inside”.
River Song’s Journal - Wallet Version
Modeled on River Song’s TARDIS-blue journal rather than the TARDIS itself — a nice change. The older faux-leather zip-wallet design uses gold-colored stitching and compartments for cards, cash, and coins.
You can see at a glance why we picked it! It’s the choice for someone who wants a quieter nod to the show (just make sure the listing is the wallet, not a journal cover).
