How to choose the right wallet

Like with any accessory, choosing the right wallet is key to not only acing your everyday looks but also to carrying around your essentials in style and securely. Wallets seamlessly blend practicality with style, and there are several styles to choose from, not to mention colours!

Looking for a new wallet can be like looking for a needle in a haystack – you may be overwhelmed with all the options! Let’s look into what could possibly be your first question – why a wallet?

Benefits of a wallet

A wallet lets you carry more compared to a purse, which is typically suited for evenings out, as it is a smaller format. Wallets can offer several features, such as cardholders, ID card sleeves, and zipped compartments for money, or just be a pouch-like option for you to throw everything into. The main advantage of choosing a wallet, regardless of the style, is the extra space. It’s perfect for travelling or just everyday use.

When it comes to best wallets for women, you need to invest wisely. Something that will stand the tests of time, but still make a statement. Read on to find out about the different types of wallets.

Coin wallets

There are coin purses, and there are also coin wallets. Our favourite design feature is the zip, sure to keep your coins safe, and not in chaos at the bottom of your bag. The Vivienne Westwood Re-vegan Medium Grain Zip Wallet is the ideal addition to your everyday accessories. It is easy to slip into your bag but also easy to get out. With this one, you get the best of both worlds – it also is a cardholder!

Bi-fold wallets

Bi-fold wallets are the style you may be used to seeing. Its classic style makes it a must-have – it basically has two folds, along with a cardholder and a sleeve to put notes in. Vivienne Westwood’s Small Frame Wallet will allow you to make a statement even with the simplest of accessories. It has been crafted in red vinyl leather for a bold touch. Plus, it’s two-in-one, not only is it a bi-fold wallet, but it’s also a purse, allowing you to carry all of your cash!

Continental wallets

Continental wallets are the longer styles with a zip fastening. They allow you to carry large items such as cheque books and bills. It’s perfect for those of you who just have too much to carry on a day-to-day basis! The Vivienne Westwood Classic Zip Round Wallet features an eclectic tartan print to spice up the contents of your handbag, and opens up to cardholders and a zipped pocket to carry your coins. Its electric blue interior will certainly add a pop of colour!

Cardholders

Cardholders are ideal when you’re using a smaller bag – we highly recommend them for events or evenings out. They let you carry just the essentials, like your ID and credit card. Our favourite is this Flat Card Holder in a rich wine-red by Vivienne Westwood – we love the striking contrast between the leather and the gold Vivienne Westwood orb on the front.

Now that you’ve got to grips with the different types of wallets, you can think about investing in one that complements your style. It’s a great first step towards building a luxury accessory collection at home, before moving on to other purchases like handbags and shoes. Plus, it’s a more affordable way to dip your toe into the world of designer labels.
