How to choose a women's wallet?

It is customary to call a wallet a product made of various materials, usually of a flat appearance, designed to store money and conveniently and safely carry them with you while moving.

Historians claim that the very first wallets were small bags in which the inhabitants of ancient Turkey kept their savings. And during the Renaissance, wallets acquired a more modern look, close to the current models of this product.

According to historical sources in Russia, wallets appeared at the beginning of the nineteenth century on the territory of modern Novgorod. It looked the same as the first such product in history - in the form of a bag tightly tied with a cord at the top.

The first wallets in the countries of medieval Europe had a similar appearance. The only feature was that the wallets were attached to the belt and bore an interesting name - riot police. In ancient China and Japan, a strong leather cord was used as a wallet, on which money coins were strung with holes in the middle.

Each thing has its own features, characteristic only of it, and the wallet is no exception. One of the most obvious features is convenience, because all your money is neatly stacked in one place, and not scattered in your pockets and bag.

Most of the wallets have such a feature as reliability, provided by durability. Nothing guarantees the safety and durability of the product as a reliable strong seam made with dense threads, as well as combined with cardboard inserts glued inside.

In addition, the durability of the wallets is ensured due to the fact that only high-quality materials are used in its manufacture. Some manufacturing firms are engaged in the manufacture of handmade wallets, where personal wishes and sizes specified by the customer are taken into account.

A soft wallet that does not have cardboard or any other dense lining, as a rule, is very roomy, but has only one compartment. This model is presented in the form of a small pouch with a latch, which is more suitable for storing coins.

A soft wallet is perhaps the most convenient option for children who carry a small amount of money to school. Such a wallet will not take up much space and will be easy to use, even for a child.

The best wallets are made from only high quality materials. Basically, these are popular brands, in the collections of which ultra-fashionable exclusive models are presented. Among them there are unusual cool options.

For an easier choice, it is worthwhile to study in more detail the model range of wallets, to take a closer look at the name of each of the models and what characteristic features it has.

Interestingly, there are quite a few wallet models, and each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages. The preferences of each girl are individual, therefore, the creation of wallets of different models and different sizes is to some extent a necessity.

For example, a purse is distinguished by its sophistication and restraint, does not contain any unnecessary details, everything is only the most necessary. A large wallet is a rectangular wallet with a zipper or button fastener.

It is worth noting that a small purse is often referred to as a wallet, since they have almost the same "structure". The wallet, like the purse, has a compartment for paper bills, for small iron coins, as well as a place for plastic cards.

All the same components have a folding wallet - an organizer, which can be made of different materials, depending on which its internal appearance changes. The soft leather, suede or fabric version, in addition to compartments for money and cards, also has a special place for a pen.

The plastic model of the organizer wallet looks a little larger, since it has additional compartments where identity documents, small pieces of paper or even a compact notebook can be stored.

It should be noted that all of the above models have a predominantly flat appearance, without any voluminous additional parts.

An unusual model - a chest wallet, presented in several variations, is convenient in that there is no need to have a bag. Sports models of such wallets are well suited for travel and tourism, while the classic ones allow you to carry a wallet around your neck under your outerwear.

The first thing that comes to mind when mentioning a purse is a small men's purse, but not every girl knows that there is also such a model of a purse as a female purse.

This type of wallet is a rectangular model, which can also be foldable, with three or four compartments, which is quite easy to confuse with a wallet. A distinctive feature is the additional handle, thanks to which the wallet can be carried around the wrist.

Talking about folding wallets, the three-fold model cannot be ignored. This model is more compact, since it folds three times, turning into a small rectangle. This wallet will fit perfectly into most small handbags.

An excellent model in a sporty style is the wallets that are attached to the belt.The wallet is often made of durable, wear-resistant fabric, has multiple compartments with a zip closure, and is great for hiking and excursions.

In addition to zippers, there are many other options for fastening. For example, a clasp wallet looks more feminine and elegant. A magnet wallet may not be as practical as the magnet loses its functionality rather quickly and starts to open frequently.

A snap-on wallet is perhaps one of the most common options that fastens well and holds tight. To open such a wallet, you need to make some elementary efforts, so the model will definitely not be unbuttoned arbitrarily.

The clasp with a button can also have a leather money clip, which from the outside looks like a regular wallet, but instead of the usual compartment for notes, it has a metal hairpin. The clip can be equipped with a compartment for coins and plastic cards.

In addition to a wide variety of models, wallets are subdivided into several types, each of which deserves special attention and has certain characteristics.

A sports wallet is ideal for the traveler, as it frees up your hands, whether it's a necklace or a waistband. For the most part, a sports wallet is multifunctional and is often used as an everyday option as well.

Tourist wallet models are more voluminous than any other, so they allow you to store inside not only cash and cards, but also documents, as well as other important details of a small size.

A sports wallet can, among other things, be equipped with pockets, which makes it even more functional, as the pockets can store small chains of keys from a home or a car.

The classic model of the wallet always looks sophisticated and elegant, and is the choice of mainly business people, the details, the image of which should correspond to the integral appearance.

The classic wallet is equipped with compartments for plastic cards, for bills and coins, and for documents. There is nothing superfluous in it, only everything you need.

Often an integral part of a classic business wallet is a business card holder, since a business person should always have a card with his contacts with him in order to quickly share them if necessary.

The model for drivers has much more functionality than the usual model, because in such a wallet you need a specially designated space for rights. Such a wallet should be equipped with slots not only for money and cards, but also for auto documents. Also, the wallet has a transparent compartment, where the driver's license is usually located.

The driver's wallet model can be shortened or it can be a long rectangle with an additional compartment for cards.

Youth types of wallets are unusual creative models with different decorative elements.

Often it is youth wallets that are presented in a two-in-one version. In appearance, such a model looks like a regular wallet, but inside, in addition to the compartment for paper notes, there is also an additional small compartment for coins.

The materials from which wallets are made can be completely varied, but each of them has characteristic qualities and properties inherent only to this material. To choose the most practical and durable wallet, you should familiarize yourself with these features in more detail.

A relatively new and unusual model of a silicone wallet is considered, which is made of a soft, but rather dense material.

The good thing about a silicone wallet is that it does not allow moisture to pass through and is quite easy to clean in case of contamination.But such a model is not very durable and can be easily damaged when interacting with sharp metal objects.

Lacquered wallets are not always practical, as this material is known for being whimsical and fragile.

It is not uncommon for cracks and creases to appear on varnish products, and scratches may occur if handled carelessly.

Undoubtedly, the lacquer wallet looks beautiful and impressive, but it requires special attention and overly careful attitude. So, such a product is perfect as an accessory, but not recommended for everyday use.

The suede wallet looks great, which is also quite durable and resistant to all kinds of stress. For example, a suede wallet will not lose its original appearance in severe frosts and will not be scratched, for example, on the keys carelessly thrown into the bag.

The only drawback of a suede wallet can be the soiling of the surface. Greasy stains or just dark handprints will quickly appear on a matte surface, so before you pick up such a product in your hands, you must thoroughly wash them.

The most commonly used thick cotton fabric is called canvas. A wallet made of such a material is highly durable, and the surface can be easily cleaned of dirt with a brush and a damp cloth.

Denim wallets are quite common, which is no less durable than canvas. A denim wallet can be a classic blue shade, or it can be painted in any other color or decorated with a print.

For the manufacture of handmade wallets, materials such as velor, velveteen, artificial thin suede, calico and even flax are often used. But a product made of such materials will not last long, but it will be possible to amaze others with your creative abilities.

Perhaps the most common and popular option is a leather wallet. Practicality and elegance are combined in such a product, because leather is not only known for its durability and resistance to dirt, but also looks very attractive.

Luxury wallets are made of genuine leather, which is an advantage, because the service life is significantly increased. A leatherette product, although not as durable, still has a much greater demand, due to its financial availability.

Wallet colors are something special. When choosing a wallet, there are no special rules and prohibitions, it may not even be combined with a bag at all and this will not affect your appearance at all.

The advantage of dark models is that they are more practical and less prone to dirt. For example, a black model or brown wallet is perfect if you want to purchase a neutral product.

Dark colors also include blue and burgundy. These shades have unprecedented popularity this season, which is not surprising, because they look very bright and juicy.

The opposite of dark shades are white and light beige wallets. Such models get dirty more and require a very careful attitude. You can choose a model in a classic beige color, which is less soiled and will be more practical to use.

A blue wallet, and especially a heavenly shade, will appeal to absolutely any girl. This shade is inspiring and pleasing to the eye, and visually creates a sense of serenity.

A bright yellow color will create a feeling of joy and happiness, therefore a yellow wallet is the choice of extraordinary girls, cheerful adolescents and adult women with non-standard, creative thinking.

Purses of violet and turquoise shades look very unusual, because they are bright and delicate at the same time. Fascinating shades will be very beneficial to combine with an oriental print, and a wallet of this color will become a luxury item and the envy of others.

Decorated wallets are extremely popular, well, they look just amazing! For example, wallets with rhinestones are the most popular and affordable for consumers.

Such a product looks beautiful, but it may not be entirely practical, due to the fact that over time the glue on the rhinestones dries up, and the sparkling crystals simply fall off, leaving quite noticeable traces.

The popular prehistoric style wallets are embossed on the skin, which represents the image of the dragon. Spread wings, long tail and imitation of reptile skin look quite mysterious and attracts many interested glances.

Recently, engraved wallets have become especially popular. Most often these are just neutral lettering or brand name, but some companies present handcrafted wallets with engraving that the client can choose individually.

Brooch should be noted among the most common decorative elements. Purses with a brooch look very elegant and feminine, while retro-style décor adds a touch of chic and luxury to the product.

The quality and design of wallets, at times, directly depend on the country - the manufacturer and the brand, since each state has its own traditions, which are reflected in the style of the goods produced.

Manufacturers from Europe can boast of the highest quality. For example, Chester ("Chester") - the most famous British manufacturer of shoes and leather accessories, known for using only high quality natural leather, as well as restraint in the appearance of models.

Mascotte is a brand owned by a multimillion-dollar Austrian corporation, known for the production of footwear for men and women, designed for the mass consumer. Among the accessories, there are many models of wallets, which are characterized by sophistication and elegance.

The very popular and well-known brand Kenzo ("Kenzo") presents in its collections luxury goods designed only for a narrow circle of consumers due to the overpriced policy. Wallets of this brand are presented in different styles, with or without prints.

Turkish manufacturers are known for collections of wallets with colors and prints in oriental style - in the best traditions of the country, and among domestic manufacturers, the Rendez-Vous brand deserves special attention, producing leather wallets of very good quality.

Girls who want to always stay in trend just need to follow the changes in the fashion world and try to follow fashion trends. And in order to make it easier to do, we have selected several of the most popular wallets for this and the coming seasons.

The most popular trend is the kiss lock. Such a clasp is a metal clasp decorated with small balls at the ends.

The product itself can be presented in the form of a small purse for metal coins, or it can be made in the form of a clutch purse that can compete with any decorative purse.

The coming season will bring with it a fashion for everything light and airy, which is why the image of butterflies is gaining popularity. It can be embossing, embroidery, applique made of rhinestones and colorful patches, or just an applied print, but we can confidently say that a purse with such a decor will not leave any girl indifferent.

Unusual shades typical for young energetic persons are in fashion. Gold and silver colors are a priority, but other shades with a metallic effect and tints are also popular.

Embossed designer wallets are a godsend, especially when it comes to handcrafted limited editions, as everyone wants something unique.

Speaking of the cost, it is impossible to provide any specific figures, because it changes depending on the brand or seasonal sales.

For example, purses of elite brands can have a cost in the range of 40,000-50,000 rubles, which is not available to every consumer.

Manufacturers of wallets designed for the mass consumer have a cost in the range of 5,000-10,000 rubles. As a rule, these are products of the highest quality made of genuine leather.

The most budgetary products made of artificial materials cost between 500-2,000 rubles, depending on the brand.

When analyzing consumer reviews, it becomes clear that not everyone is thoroughly approaching the choice of wallets; more and more often, many girls let this process take its course. Many people prefer products with a lower cost, which is reflected in the quality of the product, so you have to often change wallets due to their low wear resistance.

But true connoisseurs of high-quality leather goods give their preference to branded wallets, choosing the most practical products with the necessary compartments. The cost of such wallets is high, but according to reviews, they last much longer.
