Rumor has it, and there are many confirmations that money does not multiply without a wallet. Crumpled bills spread in the pockets are a sign of obvious disrespect for them, therefore they try not to find money in such pockets. Hence the general love for wallets. Hence their symbolic meaning. Hence the tradition of giving wallets.

By the way, if you intend to give someone a wallet, do not try to forget to put a small bill in it. This is also part of the tradition.

Wallet or still a purse? Maybe a wallet?

It would seem, what can be difficult in choosing a wallet? But it is worth starting this very choice, as the first problem immediately falls on your head - the need to choose between a wallet, a purse and a wallet. You might argue - say they are the same thing. And we would have even agreed with you some time ago. But now we know the truth and are happy to share it with you.

Purse

The wallet is an exclusively female accessory. Often has the familiar snap-lock pouch shape. Many even had or have such. But time has power even over the appearance of wallets, therefore today you can find a variety of designs. Modern interpretation a wallet is usually equipped with many different compartments and pockets, including a coin box (compartment for coins). In this case, the wallet necessarily has a clasp or lock, and the bills in it, as a rule, do not bend.

Perhaps these are all the main features of a wallet. Except, perhaps, for special women's colors, but this is already an additional option, and not all women like it.

Purse

The easiest way to distinguish a classic wallet from a wallet is by one of its features - bills in it are most often folded in half when closed. The wallet can be both male and female. However, the difference between them is so arbitrary that few people will notice the substitution. But it's worth getting into the company of people who know how you can become the object of a strange attitude and even ridicule. Although no, educated people do not make fun of other people's mistakes. In general, the whole difference is that in a women's wallet there is necessarily a coin holder with a clasp, while in a men's wallet this option is usually not found.

Wallets come in double and triple fold. The difference between them is how many times the bills are folded when closing. The bifold wallet goes well with any outfit. A trifold wallet is a compromise between style, banknote safety and comfort. You can't put a lot of money in it, but you can even wear it in shorts.

There is also a chest pocket wallet in which bills do not fold when closed. It, as the name implies, is usually worn in the inner breast pocket of a jacket. Sometimes worn in a briefcase. It is clear that such a "bandura" cannot be stuffed into jeans, therefore this option is chosen by people who prefer the classic style of clothing.

Wallet

A wallet can be called a wallet with extended functionality. Outwardly - a poured purse, but inside the wallet there are much more compartments, among which there is always a place for storing documents. As a rule, there is no compartment for coins. The wallet was invented by men for men, and since women have failed to achieve equality in this matter, only men's wallets can be found.

Wallets are often indistinguishable from purses even by manufacturers, so you can safely use both names.

The coin box as a separate purse for coins is a rather useless thing, therefore it is rare and usually acts as a little thing rather status than practical. Distinguishing from a wallet, purse and wallet is as easy as shelling pears - there is either one single compartment in the coin box, or special mechanical clamps for coins of different diameters.

The total digitization of life has also touched money, due to which the need for paper bills gradually disappears along with the need to carry a wallet. Cash was replaced by virtual numbers on a plastic card. The designers did not miss this opportunity and proposed new types of pocket money storage - cardholder and money clip.

The first is more like a hardcover ID card than a purse, but it copes with its task perfectly - bills and bank cards are always at hand whatever you are wearing. The second one looks like a metal clip or clothespin.

Well, now you probably know what pocket storage for money are and you will definitely not go wrong by choosing an option for yourself or as a gift. It remains only to figure out what should be turned Special attention, so as not to regret your choice.

They are greeted by clothes

Now you know exactly what kind of accessory for storing money you need - a wallet, purse, wallet, cardholder or a clip for notes. But before choosing a specific model, be sure to decide on the material.

Naturally, a leather wallet or purse is the most preferable option for many reasons that there is no point in describing once again. Skin is skin. The only thing worth adding is a wallet from patent leather will last longer than others. And if you want something extraordinary - choose a model made of exotic animal skin.

A more budgetary option is a leatherette wallet. Do not spit so immediately, other samples are almost impossible to distinguish from accessories from genuine leather neither in appearance, nor in tactile, nor in performance. Some specimens from the use of artificial material become even more durable than leather ones. However, some regularity still takes place - as a rule, leatherette wallets belong to the category of inexpensive accessories. And here you can be sure - a cheap leatherette wallet will not last long. At the very least, it will lose its gloss and freshness in just a couple of months.

If you are planning to buy a wallet or purse in our store, do not worry, the cheapest accessories of mediocre quality are not our profile. Whichever option you choose, it will delight the new owner for a long time.

Despite the fact that a purse is primarily a status thing, not everyone needs an option made of natural or artificial leather... Reliability often outweighs. In this case, your choice is a rubberized textile wallet. Such an accessory will not fit a classic style wardrobe, however, it will look perfect in combination with youth clothing and casual style.

On this, perhaps, we will end our excursion into the world of wallets, purses and wallets. We hope it was useful for you, and now the choice suitable option will not present any difficulties for you. In the future, we will talk about some other nuances that deserve your attention when choosing a pocket money vault.

The old wallet asks for a well-deserved rest. It's time to look for a new one, but it's important not to make the mistake of trusting interested sellers and advertisements.

Money loves not only an account, but also order, so the answer to the question - how to choose a wallet, must be found long before buying it.

We have tried to prepare for you complete guide, which will help you not to make a mistake in your choice.

Review of models of women's wallets

There are many nuances in how to choose the right wallet, but before starting your search, you should get acquainted with the models on the accessory market. In terms of shape, all women's wallets can be divided into two types: classic rectangular and compact square.

Some girls like miniature models, while others like styles according to the size of a bill when unfolded. The advantage of full-size rectangular wallets is that paper money fits freely in them, and the accessory only needs to be opened to get a bill.

Small square models easily fit into bags of any size, but one of the minor inconveniences is that the wallet must not only be unbuttoned, but also unfolded to get money.

Styles with an extravagant shape - round, oval, triangular, cube, are less common. For everyday use, they are not very convenient, but if you like to make an effect on others, take a closer look at the unusual shapes.

If you go out a lot, look out for large wallets with a detachable handle. As a rule, such styles are roomy and have room not only for money, but even for a smartphone. In fact, it is a clutch wallet, but in Everyday life it is suitable only for women who prefer big bags.

Important details for choosing a convenient wallet

Before finally choosing one wallet from several, be sure to consider it from all angles, literally and figuratively!

Branch for small things - to be or not to be

By choosing convenient wallet, answer the question: do you carry a change with you. If not, then this department can be completely abolished and choose a model in which it is not provided. However, most people cannot do without coins, which means that a purse without a compartment for coins will be very inconvenient and impractical.

In the models, which in many stores are called European, there is a small pocket for coins with a zipper or a button. This style suitable for those those who do not use public transport, and in shops more often pay with a card. It seems that there is a trifle, but it is rarely needed.

If you use cash a lot when paying, look for kiss-clasped coin compartments. Please note that the coin box can be located separately or under the common clasp of the entire wallet. The first option is more convenient and practical - you can get metal rubles in transport without opening the main clasp.

Pockets for cards - how many you need for convenience

The number of pockets is a matter of taste, but is it worth carrying all discount and bonus cards in your wallet if you can now install special software on your phone? If your wallet contains only bank cards and a few bonus from your favorite stores, do not chase after models with two dozen pockets.

The form of compartments for cards is also different - some people like slots, and some like pockets, but here you can only be guided by taste.

Best wallet material

Traditional women's wallets are made of natural and artificial leather, less often you can find accessories from textiles, knitwear and other materials. What is better and how to choose a money wallet for a long service?

Leather is always fashionable and prestigious

Accessories made of genuine leather, although rejected by supporters of animal welfare, remain the most desirable and in demand. Manufacturers use leather of different quality and origin. The most inexpensive products are made from pigskin, but they quickly fail and look unpresentable. The most prestigious products are made from crocodile leather, which has a characteristic structure.

If you want to buy a durable wallet, choose calfskin leather, but this accessory will cost accordingly. Bovine skin (from the skins of adults) is an order of magnitude coarser and thicker, due to which it holds its shape well and lends itself to embossing.

Other options:

• The goat skin is soft and thin with a beautiful pattern.
• Chevrette is a delicate and pleasant-to-touch leather made from sheep's hide.
• Reindeer skin is a very delicate material, and suede is also made from the skin of this animal.
• Python skin has a very beautiful print that cannot be confused with skin from the skins of other animals. It is very soft and elastic.

Read more about the types of leather, if interested, dedicated to crafts from this material.

How to choose a quality leather wallet:

1. Take a close look at the outside of the wallet - there should be no damage, cuts or other defects on the product. Some types of leather allow for abrasions, but they cannot be on smooth and patent accessories.
2. Smell the product - a pleasant leather aroma should come from it, which will not be interrupted by the smells of dyes and other chemicals.
3. Swipe over the surface with a cotton pad or paper handkerchief - on a quality product, the paint should hold firmly and not leave marks.
4. Check all fasteners, buttons and zippers - they should function easily and securely close the compartments.
5. Pay attention to the quality of the seams - if they are uneven or have gaps, look for another model.
6. Some manufacturers leave a visible edge on the inside to prove the material is made from animal hide - take a look at this area. For the same purpose, a sample of raw materials can be included.

When buying a wallet in an online store, it is almost impossible to do all the manipulations described above, so trust only trusted brands and decent merchants. Keep in mind that matte leather is always more durable than patent leather. Natural shades (black and brown) will stay attractive longer than bright colors and colors with prints and patterns.

Artificial leather and its types

Imitation of genuine leather is a more affordable purchase. Artificial leather is a textile with a coating that imitates a leather fabric, not only for outward appearance, but also in structure and properties. Manufacturers offer several options for haberdashery artificial leather, differing not only in price, but also in consumer properties.

Modern materials even surpass natural leather in performance, so do not rush to turn away from your wallet, the raw material for which was one of the types of artificial material. To understand which leatherette wallet is better to choose, get acquainted with the types:

• Dermatin (granitol) is the cheapest analogue with a nitrocellulose coating. Despite the attractive cost, it is better to refuse to buy, since such products quickly lose their original beauty, smell unpleasant and become unusable - they crack and climb.
• Iskozha is a material obtained by applying a polyvinyl chloride composition to a loose elastic textile base. For haberdashery use soft types of skin. This material is not afraid of low temperatures, and thanks to the elastic base, it drapes easily and does not crack.
• Vinyl leather is a textile material with a porous monolithic polyvinyl chloride coating on the front side. It can have both matte and glossy surfaces. Such leatherette is often embossed and printed.
• Eco-leather is a new material that is closest to natural leather, not only in appearance, but also in properties - it is easily draped and does not leave creases. The surface of eco-leather is a polyurethane film applied to an elastic cotton backing. Eco-leather has a porous structure, so it "breathes" like a natural analogue. The advantage of eco-leather over leatherette is obvious - it remains elastic at low temperatures, does not crack and does not wear off.
• Press leather (aka pressing) is a material obtained by mixing pieces of natural leather with synthetic additives and dyes under pressure. It is difficult to distinguish purses made of pressed leather from natural ones, because even the seamy side of the pressing is similar to the skin of an animal, but smoother. Also, the analogue is easy to determine by the cut - it is homogeneous and even.

Textiles and its varieties

Textile wallets look original and modern technologies make fabrics practical. They are not afraid of moisture, repel dirt and do not wear out. Textile accessories are made from rough fabrics such as denim, linen or tweed.

The simplest in this series are coin wallets, but today such a model is practically irrelevant. Satin styles look elegant, but they can hardly be considered everyday, it is better to choose such as an alternative to an evening purse or clutch.

Youth and sports models are sewn from raincoat fabrics. Products from faux fur... For water resistance, linen, knitwear and other materials of a similar structure are impregnated with compounds that increase resistance to dirt and moisture.

To choose the right textile wallet, carefully inspect the seams and fasteners. Rub the fabric with your finger to watch for stains and how the fabric behaves. It is better to refuse light shades, the most practical are brown, gray, green.

Lining is an important detail

Before choosing a pocket wallet from the material you like, be sure to look inside. The lining is the most important part, the quality of which determines the durability. The lining in the bill compartments can be made from the same material as the entire product, or from cheaper options. Often in leather purses, the lining is made of leatherette or textiles. Textiles are almost always used in coin compartments.

Look for a sturdy lining, feel free to rub, wrinkle, and pull to ensure the seams are strong. Good textiles will not shine and shine through the base. It is desirable that in the department for small items there is a fabric of non-marking shades, otherwise the original color will quickly lose its attractiveness.

To exclude low-quality staining, run a napkin over the lining, if paint remains on the surface, put the model you like aside.

Accessories and decor elements

Which wallet to choose for glamorous girl? Of course, it should have jewelry - rhinestones, bulky clasps, stones. Metal parts can be gold, silver or bronze. Keep in mind that gold plating is the fastest to lose its original luxury. In expensive models, this is not the case, because the spraying is applied by an electroplating method.

If you are not ready to overpay, give preference to steel fittings, this one lasts a long time and does not wear out. In vintage style items, metal items can be stylized to resemble bronze, their advantage is that they become even more attractive over time.

Rhinestones look beautiful, but if you carry a wallet in a bag, they quickly fall off, leaving an ugly spot in place of the decor. The bulky decor on the clasp will also quickly scratch, so immediately decide what is more important to you - a long service life or short-term beauty and admiration of girlfriends.

What colors contribute to material well-being

• White or light gray for the wallet is best for people who are insecure. This accessory instills a sense of stability and helps to increase the well-being of its owner.

What types of wallets love money

In addition to the color of the wallet, the style of the accessory is also important to attract money. If you want your pocket to be full at all times, choose:

• Spacious models that easily fit large bills. If you do not provide a place for big money, then they will not appear there!
• Styles with multiple compartments to help keep the money-beloved order. It is believed that it is impossible to store small change, including small bills, with large ones in one compartment. Banknotes should be folded face up - first large, then small.
• Products from natural materials- such wonderful pass material energy inside. Artificial raw materials cannot attract money energetically.
• High-quality and respectable models - it is better to buy an expensive leather wallet, symbolizing wealth.

Talismans for attracting wealth

As a magnet for money, you can choose:

• special coins;
• money spoons and shovels;
• talismans;
• small icons;
• runes.

In addition to talismans, you can put magical plants in your wallet: a small piece of dry horseradish or cinnamon, a mint leaf, a sprig of dried heather, a grain of beans. Images of bunches of grapes and green tea act in a similar way.

To never run out of money, do not waste every penny and do not leave your wallet empty. Always keep one or two non-exchangeable coins, such as commemorative or silver coins, to resist the temptation to spend them. You can use a paper note - lucky dollar. The same applies to those wallets that are at home, follow the rules, even if you do not use an accessory.

Change a new wallet as soon as the old one loses its attractiveness or is torn - money does not like "poverty", prepare a luxurious home for them, and they will flow like a river to you!

It is believed that it is impossible to give wallets, but any omen can be deceived. Just put a bill or a few coins as a gift, and in return ask the recipient for a symbolic payment (for example, 5 rubles). This will neutralize the problem of an empty wallet and turn the gift into a sale.

• wallet - traditionally male accessory, and the wallet is carried with both men and women;
• as a rule, a women's wallet differs from a wallet in its large size.

But this is not only functional, but also very beautiful thing, especially from some exotic leather.

Nowadays, this practical accessory is used by those who truly appreciate comfort, order and classic style. Exquisite and very expensive leather wallets made from exotic leathers are in the collections of successful entrepreneurs, designers, famous actors and athletes.

Which wallet or purse to buy

The main rule that must be followed before buy a wallet or purse, states: - the appearance of this accessory must fully match all leather items of clothing, such as shoes, briefcase and belt.

Hello Dmitry.

Of course, it would be better if you attached a photo of the wallet whose name you are interested in to your question. Having looked at it, we could have definitely decided on the answer to your question, and without a photograph, we only have to assume that it is about so-called wallets-clips.

Money clips - stylish men's accessory

Many men are not very tidy and carry paper money in their pockets, bags, and, admit, this does not look very aesthetically pleasing. Few people will like it if a man rummages in his pocket for a long time in search of money and retrieves crumpled bills from there. To avoid this, many people tied a bundle of bills with an elastic band, which, of course, is more convenient, but not so beautiful. Maybe this is what prompted the designers to create clip-on wallets. Money clips sometimes look much more aesthetically pleasing than huge wallets, and to some extent they are much more convenient than ordinary wallets, because they are smaller, and they also clamp bills, so money cannot accidentally fall out and get lost. The only downside is that many models are not designed for storing small items. However, these were only the first models, because nowadays, clamps with coin holders are sold - special compartments for coins.

The history of money clips

Money clips originally appeared around the middle of the 20th century (50s-60s), but they looked different from wallets because they were metal clips that resemble clips. Initially, they were used by wealthy people, so they were made of precious metals with patterns and inlaid on them. precious stones... Clamps like this can be bought now. They are made of various metals and come in several types, from the classic clip to various shaped clothespins.

The second type of money clips appeared a little later. In appearance, it resembled a small leather booklet with a metal clip for notes inside. Outwardly, this accessory resembles a wallet, but has a much smaller size. For the manufacture of such a clip, various materials are used, from natural leather to modern synthetic leatherette. In addition to the holder for paper money, some models have pockets for storing plastic cards, as well as compartments for iron money. That is why money clips are no longer inferior in functionality to ordinary men's wallets, despite the fact that many men consider this accessory for storing cash and credit cards more convenient.

The price of money clips is different, because it is determined by the brand of the manufacturer, the material from which they are made, as well as their functionality.

As for the name, this accessory is called just that, because in the assortment of many online stores it is presented under this name.
