The Wallet Shoppe
There are many officially-licensed Doctor Who products out there, from bags to t-shirts and hoodies, but you know where we’re going with this one. If you love wallets that look nothing like everyone else’s, see our full list of unique wallets too. These also make fantastic gifts — our wallet gifting guide has ideas for making the present personal.

Doctor Who Wallets - The Amazon Choices
Here are our three Amazon choices: two Underground Toys bifolds and a blue Scificollector design.
Choose by the artwork and layout you like: cards, bills, and of course, your psychic paper still need somewhere to go. Fan-made designs further down are a separate choice from branded merchandise.
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; check the closed size against your pocket.
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: The approximately 4¾ x 3½-inch footprint is larger than a slim cardholder. Dimensions refer to the closed wallet.
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. It is a different model from the older long wallet with the 13th Doctor’s stripe inside; the long wallet’s eight-card layout and dimensions don’t apply here.
Doctor Who Wallets - The Etsy Choices
If you’re a fan of handmade wallets, Etsy has some one-of-a-kind options. A search for Doctor Who wallets on Etsy brings up designs ranging from police-box bifolds to themed zipper wallets. We had a hard time narrowing it down.
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.
For this handmade style, check the maker’s closed dimensions, pocket layout, and dispatch estimate before ordering a gift. Hand-dyed leather can vary in shade from the photographs.
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.
Buyer Bret Newbould likes the reflective window details and artwork lining in the listing’s reviews. Those finishing touches are its appeal over a simpler printed wallet. The seller also describes an RFID layer; choose it for the design rather than treating that as a blanket security guarantee.
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.
A journal-inspired wallet is the choice for someone who wants a quieter reference to the show. Check that a listing is for a wallet rather than a journal cover, and use its actual pocket dimensions if you want room for a checkbook. Seller return and dispatch terms vary, especially for personalized items.
