The best in women’s wallets
Women’s wallets are important for keeping money, credit cards and sales receipts organized and accessible. When purchasing a wallet, women should consider:
- The amount of space for credit cards and money
- The size and weight of the wallet
- The intended purpose: daily use, travel or formal occasions
- The cost of the wallet
- The material the wallet is made from: leather, canvas or other fabric
- Closure style: snap or zipper
Wallet Styles
There are three wallet sizes and some specialty styles manufactured:
- Large wallets are usually double- or triple-folded. Even folded, large women’s wallets slightly exceed a checkbook in length. These are usually the thickest style, but often offer the most room for credit cards and money. Checkbook wallets contain compartments for checks, change, cash and identification. Agenda wallets also have space for an organizer or calendar.
- Medium wallets are often folded in half and are shorter in width than a large wallet. These usually have change purses and slots for credit cards.
- Small wallets, often double-folded, usually have the least amount of credit card space, but they still have separate compartments for change and money.
- Wristlets and clutch wallets are designed for easy carrying. Wristlets have a loop for the wrist, and clutch wallets may have a handle. Both styles come in all sizes.
- Travel wallets also have compartments for passports, documents and receipts. Many also have dividers for carrying multiple currencies.
