Jetting off for a year-end adventures? Stay organised in style with these passport covers and travel bags
As much as we love globetrotting, we’re admittedly not the best at staying organised on our travels. Misplaced documents, frantic scrambling of phones and passports, and one too many searches for our cables later, we’re throwing in the towel – it’s officially time for us to get our act together. The one thing we need to keep our travel essentials in place? A multi functional passport holder. Ahead, some of our favourite stores to shop for travel organisers in Singapore.
kikki. K
Unsurprisingly, this Swedish stationery behemoth offers a beautifully-designed travel collection. Take your pick from leather organisers with passport pockets and card compartments to travel document wallets in striking silver with multiple pockets for boarding passes, itineraries, and other important stuff.
kikki.K, available at multiple locations, including #B2-53 ION Orchard, 2 Orchard Turn, Singapore 238801, p. 6509 3107.
Muji
Muji’s travel accessories are the secret to on-the-go living. The passport cases – available in colours like grey, navy and black – come in slim cases ($11.90) for maximum compactability. But our pick’s got to be is the ones with the clear pocket ($33) as it keeps hotel cards, keys and currencies in place, along with credit cards and passports.
Muji, Multiple locations including Raffles City and ION Orchard
Draft-8
Companions to a clutter-free life, the leather goods from Draft-8 are made from durable leather and are hand-stitched and edge-painted for a luxe touch. Get to your destination with ease and style with the leather two-in-one case, which comes with a detachable wallet and passport holder. The case zips up tightly despites its multiple compartments. Perfect for carting around in your go-to bagpack.
Draft-8, available at Ante stores at Suntec City Mall, Vivo City, Tangs Plaza and Takashimaya.
Moleskine
Though best known for their notebooks, Moleskine also offers products for day-to-day organisation. No more rooting around in your bag for cables and other necessities with the travel pouches. The medium to large sized ones have room for all your essentials, including passports, notebooks and tablets (these can be secured with corner elastic bands), with a net pocket for you to store all your cables.
Moleskine, Level 3, Tangs at Tangs Plaza, Takashimaya, Ngee Ann City, 391A Orchard Road, Singapore 238873, as well as all other Moleskine stores island-wide.
Maid in China
Founded by UK designer Em Royston, Maid in China is all about whimsical design – its tea sets for example are themed after the circus. The passport cover is one of the most interactive we’ve ever seen. Printed with a world map with a travel needle and thread included, it lets you cross stitch on the countries you’ve conquered. Made with the softest leather, it’ll age beautifully, so you can keep it for a lifetime.
Maid in China, available at Naiise stores. Six locations islandwide including Millenia Walk and Orchard Gateway
Typo
This one-stop stationery den has got them all for the young and young-at-heart. Prints take the stage with tropical printed travel organisers and travel wallets in dazzling holographic and metallic so you’ll never lose sight of your essentials.
Typo, Locations islandwide including 313 Somerset and Bugis Junction
Forest Child

Iluvo
Multi-label Korean design goods store has some of the most charming passport covers we’ve ever seen. Made of soft PVC, they feature animal and wood-inspired prints, with five pocket slots for your passport, airline ticket, credit cards and more. Prefer a bigger organiser? Opt for the large to comfortably fit your boarding passes, pen and more.
Illuvo, available at multiple locations including Tangs Plaza Level 2, Kinokuniya and Redmart.
Bellroy
For dapper gents on the hunt for a sleek and slick travel case, Bellroy’s got your back. The travel leather wallet can fit ’em all – a passport, boarding passes, four cards and even a pen – while sitting snugly in your pocket. If sustainability’s a concern, it’s made of eco-friendly woven fabrics. While this makes a great gift for your partner, we suggest splurging on the designers edition, which features lustrous linings, subtly tapered edges and a richly coloured leather.
Bellroy, available at Benjamin Barker stores, The Planet Traveller, and The Wallet Shop. Check the site for more stockists.
