The Work Pick is a section dedicated to selecting favorite business pieces.

During a recent networking event,  one of my colleagues took out her business card case while handing her card over to another attendee.  Her case was reminiscient of a vintage cigarette holder with a retro design similar to the picture at the right.  

Perhaps, not all of us would want to tote a card case mirroring a cigarette holder.  However, her case suited her and was quite stylish, tasteful and professional – and proved to be a useful ice breaker.

A business card holder does not need to be a style statement, but it should serve as an extension of your professional attire and image.

For those of you who like the cigarette card case, but without the design, should take a look at Kate Spade’s Silver Street Holder.

Here are some other options from classic to trendy:
