Wallets

The most fundamental of accessory essentials, wallets are the most popular option for organizing your cards and cash. From tri-fold wallets to money clips, there's an array of men's and women's wallets for any occasion. From traditional wallets to credit card holders and credit card wallets, there's a range of options to securely organize and access your cards and cash. Look for a do-it-all wallet to put inside of every handbag you own, or find a few different wallets to suit your life's changing needs.

What are wallets used for?

Wallets are a great way to organize payment items. Store just the basics in a small wallet or opt for roomy storage in a larger design.

Digital wallets kept on your smartphone are quickly growing in popularity, but it's smart to carry a physical wallet as well. You'll need it for items that can't be stored digitally, such as cash, in-store receipts, and your healthcare and ID cards. While digital wallets are convenient for contactless payments, not all vendors are equipped to accept digital currency.

How do wallets work?

Wallets help to store and organize your small payment items, which makes them easy to find in a roomier handbag or purse. They're helpful in keeping cards and cash together in your pocket, and can easily be moved from one location to another.

Clips and elastics help hold basics together in a small format wallet. Look for folds, pockets, and zippered sections to hold larger, loose items like receipts and coins.

What is the average size of a wallet?

There is no truly average size of wallet, but wallets tend to be small. The smallest wallets and change purses are about the size of a stack of cards, and tend to be men's wallets. The largest women's wallets are the size of an evening clutch.

Other, larger card holders include passport cases and tablet covers.

What are the different types of wallets?

There are tons of different options of men's and women's wallets to suit every need. Slim wallets, card holders, and minimalist wallets are just large enough to hold a few cards and some bills, with no storage space for coins. This type of design usually has a solid front and back for added durability, while something like a money clip features only a clip, with no sides.

Bi-fold and tri-fold wallets offer significantly more space than minimalist options. Bi-fold wallets are a popular design of men's wallets, and open in two sections. Tri-fold wallets open into three sections, offering more room for receipts, cash, stamp cards, and gift cards.

Clutch wallets, wristlets, and wallet-on-chains offer extra versatility, and are common designs of women's wallets. They are typically shaped like a tri-fold wallet, but are meant to be carried on their own when desired. Clutch wallets often have a firmer exterior, while wristlets and wallet-on-chains come with a strap for hands-free use.
