Men and Women in Their Wallets and Purses

Banknotes, credit cards, business cards, driver’s licenses and subscriptions all these are our daily companions, which should be quickly accessible and, preferably, in an organized form. For these purposes, we buy wallets, purses and wallets, since the choice is huge both in terms of design and price preferences.

And if it seemed to you (like many) that the difference between the mentioned accessories is only in the name, after reading our review you will understand all the intricacies of choosing a wallet and purse.

Different types, types and colors of men’s and women’s wallets

Where to start choosing an accessory? Yes, in order to decide what exactly we will choose a purse or wallet? A purse is an exclusively male attribute, while a wallet is an accessory for both women and men.

A men’s wallet, which is similar in functionality to a female one, has a more rigorous design, clean lines, and the absence of decorative elements. It is flat, horizontal or vertical type, with several compartments for notes and cards and (often) a hidden pocket with a zipper.

The female clutch purse is a real expanse for design thought. Ladies’ clutch purse is always large in size and horizontal type, with many compartments inside and a closing button or zipper that runs along the entire side. But this is just a cursory description, and then we will analyze the characteristics of each accessory in detail.

It is worth noting that today, people call a wallet a purse and vice versa (as they are used to or how convenient), not knowing and not thinking whether the definition is correct, and whether there is a difference at all.

When choosing a wallet / purse are guided by five criteria this is functionality, workmanship, type of material, appearance and price of the accessory.

Wallets. What Type Do You Need?

By size, the following men’s wallets are distinguished:

Chest pocket wallet (Breast Wallet)

We also call them men’s purses, bills. These are vertical purses where banknotes are stored in full size, without folding. Such a flat wallet is convenient to carry in your breast pocket, in a compact bag, and simply in your hand. It is not suitable for carrying trousers or jeans in a pocket because of the dimensions. In the wallet for the chest pocket, as a rule, there is no pocket for trifles, but there is a driver’s license compartment (modern type, plastic) with a transparent window.

Bi-fold wallet

This is the usual and most common type of wallet for everyone, or rather, a purse. It folds in half and fastens, either on the strap, or simply, slamming it like a book. The double- fold men’s wallet has several compartments for banknotes, which also fold in half. Along with compartments for money, there are pockets for plastic cards, as well as, often, a compartment for coins. Wallets vary in size, and those that are smaller are great for wearing in the back and front pockets of jeans, trousers, a jacket.
