A wallet is a stylish accessory that is used most often by men. This is not just a wallet, as many of us believe, it is an item that allows you to store banknotes neatly folded. This wallet is compact and easily fits into a standard men's clothing pocket.

The birthplace of this accessory is France. Translated from French, the word “purse” means “to carry/keep money.”
For a long time, people used special bags attached to their belts to store money. However, such wallets became inconvenient to use when paper banknotes replaced coins: they wrinkled in bags and quickly deteriorated. This is how the wallet we are familiar with was invented, and the purse, both before and today, is considered a variety of it.
By the way! The fact that money can be stored beautifully has been known in Russia since the early Middle Ages. Thus, an object that resembled a purse in purpose appeared among us in the 11th century, however, it was called the simple word “purse” and this accessory looked very peculiar.It was quite roomy, and in addition to coins, they kept various everyday little things and small weights in it (in those days they were often used for small purchase and sale transactions).

Essentially, this accessory is a small clutch that folds several times and closes with a button. It stores both paper money and plastic cards. At the same time, this type of wallet is completely unsuitable for storing a large number of coins: with them, it will simply stop closing and lose its shape. Of course, some modern models have pockets for small change, but you still won’t be able to put a lot of coins there.
It is believed that a wallet is chosen by a socially mature person who knows what he wants from life. This is a person who values practicality, comfort and quality in everything, even in the smallest things.
Today, different materials are used to make wallets. The most budget models are made from textiles and leatherette, while the more expensive ones are made from genuine leather or suede.

In addition, the shape of the purse varies. Thus, vertical, horizontal and retractable models are popular. If the first two options can be called classic, then the third looks unusual and is used mainly for storing plastic cards rather than banknotes.
Mostly men use wallets. For them, designers never tire of coming up with strict, stylish models of these wallets, which do not differ in a variety of colors. As a rule, men wear black, brown or beige wallets with a classic cut. For the stronger sex, practicality is important, and therefore the size and shape of the purse in this case are standard.
Nevertheless, women's models of these wallets are also found today, but they are often brighter and more creative. For example, today very unusual wallets in the shape of a fruit, the face of a cat or dog, or just multi-colored models decorated with rhinestones, sparkles or embroidery are in fashion. However, these options are considered more youthful, they are completely unsuitable for creating a business image, so more classic female models are also in demand. So, such wallets made of red, burgundy, black, and brown leather look stylish.
