A wallet is the one accessory you handle every day, so it's worth choosing carefully. Start with how you actually carry things, then pick the shape.
Step 1: How much do you carry?
- Just a few cards and some cash: a slim card holder. Many are thinner than 1 cm and weigh under 100 g.
- Cards, cash and a few coins: a short bifold or zip wallet.
- Receipts, notes and lots of cards: a long wallet with several compartments.
- Mostly coins and small things: a zip coin purse.
Step 2: Choose a shape
| Type | Typical size | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Card holder | about 8–12 cm wide, under 1 cm thick | Minimalists, pocket carry |
| Short bifold | about 11–13 cm wide | Everyday cards, cash and coins |
| Trifold | about 11.5 cm wide, thicker | Many slots in a compact shape |
| Long wallet | about 19 cm wide | Notes, receipts, lots of cards |
| Zip coin purse | about 10–12 cm wide | Coins, earphones, small items |
| Wristlet wallet | about 12–13 cm wide with strap | Quick outings without a bag |
Step 3: Closure and security
- Zip: the most secure for coins. Best for travel and commuting.
- Snap or magnetic button: quick one-hand access, good for card holders.
- Turn-lock: a polished look for clutch-style wallets.
- Anti-magnetic lining: protects magnetic-stripe cards from demagnetizing. We offer it on some short wallets with a wrist strap.
Step 4: Materials and care
Most of our wallets use soft PU leather: lightweight, easy to wipe clean and available in many colors. For extra everyday resilience, our Mini Waterproof wallet uses water-resistant Oxford fabric. To care for PU leather, wipe with a soft damp cloth, avoid long exposure to heat, and keep it away from dark denim to prevent color transfer.
Step 5: Think about the finish
- Texture hides scuffs: croc, pebbled and ostrich-effect finishes wear well.
- Color: neutrals suit daily use; pastels and florals add personality and make good gifts.
- Size check: compare the listed dimensions with your phone and your largest card to be sure it fits.
