I’m not the type who usually thinks, “let me go with a small wallet.” I’ve always jumped between Lavie and Caprese. But after losing my metro card way too many times, I finally gave in. I wanted something compact where I could just slip the card in, place the wallet directly on the scanner, and stop worrying about misplacing it in my pocket.

So, like always, I went to Myntra and skimmed through my usual reliable brands. Lavie and Caprese have slowly taken a back seat in my accessories column, and I’ve been leaning towards Accessorize and Allen Solly. But while exploring, I stumbled upon IRTH by House of Titan. And since it’s a TATA brand, I’ll admit I was positively biased right from the start.

The Yara wallet looked compact, the quality seemed good in the images, and at ₹857 during a sale, it was slightly more expensive than the Lavie option I had shortlisted. Still, it looked chic and premium enough to feel worth the investment, so I gave it a shot.

Now, after 5 months of using it, here’s my take:

• Look: 8/10. It’s stylish, but I cut two points because it’s a little bulky. I can’t really sneak it into my tight office trousers.
• Touch & Feel: 10/10. The material and finish are just so, so good. It feels premium every time I use it.
• Practicality: It solved my metro card problem perfectly. I just keep the card inside, tap the wallet on the scanner, and I’m good to go. No more losing cards.

Overall, it’s been an amazing accessory. A little premium, a little bulky, but absolutely worth the investment. IRTH has genuinely impressed me, and I don’t regret choosing it over my usual brands.
