10 OF THE BEST WALLETS FOR WOMEN

Designer accessories are investment pieces. They should age like a fine wine and pass the test of time. Chief among these are wallets—slim, compact, and fashionable. There’s no denying the appeal of a well-made wallet—after all, it needs to be as durable as it is chic. Wallets are one of the few accessories that people don’t change as often, and designers are embracing their perennial nature by offering styles that never fall out of fashion. 

When it comes to the various types of women's wallets, designers offer an array of options, from sleek, compact card cases to spacious, elegant continentals. An entry point for luxury fashion, with more affordable price points than designer handbags, designer wallets are highly sophisticated and equally sought after. Match them to a coordinated handbag, or select a standalone style.

TYPES OF WOMEN’S WALLETS

Designer wallets come in numerous styles, each presenting practical features. Some are slim with just enough room for the essentials, while others offer more functionality, consisting of interior pockets, bill slips, coin pouches, and card slots.

Here are some of the most common styles and the needs they fulfill:

Card case wallet

Simplicity defines this minimalist style, which is perfect for those who prefer cards over cash. Featuring exposed card slots that make it easy to find IDs, credit cards, and more, these card holders are an elegant choice for small handbags and clutches where space is at a premium.

Bi-fold wallet

Compact bi-fold wallets come in an array of exquisite colors and patterns. They are larger than a classic card case but slim enough to fit effortlessly into a medium-sized handbag. This style folds and fastens, securing cards and providing organizational features.

Trifold wallet

Like a bifold’s big sister, a trifold wallet folds twice, yielding three distinct sections. Trifolds keep belongings well-organized and compact for those who have trouble paring down their plastic. Most designs include bill compartments, zippered coin pouches, and card slots.

Zippered wallets

A zip-around wallet ensures the essentials stay sealed for extra peace of mind. This design comes in various shapes and sizes, including rectangles, squares, and semi-circles. They typically sport an accordion design and double as a solid coin purse.

Wristlets

Wristlets are similar to zippered wallets but have a dainty wrist strap to set them apart. This design can be placed around the wrist and held, adding extra security and style to the wearer. Usually, the strap can be detached, and the wallet can be carried as a clutch if desired.

Continental wallet

A continental wallet is ideal for women flush with cards and currency. This robust style is the largest wallet design, easily doubling as a clutch. A zipper or snap closure will keep personal effects secured in style.

Crossbody card holders and coin purses

Peaking in popularity in recent years, these small wallets for women are exceptionally stylish. Set apart by the long shoulder strap, crossbody card holders are a great compromise for anyone who wants a handbag sans the bulk. It keeps essentials handy while serving as a fashionable addition to any outfit.
