In modern times, we cannot leave home without money, credit cards or business cards. Without these components, we will not make it through a single stop on public transport. We won’t be able to refuel the car, and we won’t make a single purchase in the store.
However, carrying these necessary little things in your pockets is not very convenient. It is much safer to use special compact bags for this. The range and choice of which is huge.
By functionality wallet and purse are interchangeable things. Therefore, it can be difficult to decide which one to choose, which one is right for you. It is important to correctly understand the meaning and affiliation of these items.
Stylists and image makers note that a wallet is more of a women's accessory.
But a wallet or purse are men's organizers that emphasize business style and give status to the owner.
Using two accessories at once is impractical and unnecessary.How does one model differ from another, what should you choose, which of the proposed items should you purchase? Let's figure it out together.
Purse and its originality
REFERENCE. The name “purse” came to us from Europe. Derived from the French words porte-monnaie. Translated it means: porter - “to wear” and monnaie - “money”.
This is a small handbag with several compartments for bills, business cards and documents.
It is a unisex accessory and is in demand among both men and women. The design involves double or triple folding of the model itself. Some variations have a coin holder that closes with a zipper or button.
Wallets are made mainly from genuine leather or good quality leatherette.
Men wear it mainly in their trouser pocket or inside jacket pocket.
Wallet and its features
It is predominantly a women's accessory. Designed for carrying storage and finance.
It is a compact handbag with a clasp, of various shapes, sizes and designs. As a rule, its length is 17–25 centimeters and its width is from 8 to 15 cm. These dimensions allow you to carry banknotes without folding them in half. Because of these dimensions, the wallet is inconvenient to carry in pockets, so women carry them in handbags.
Made from various materials: leather, leatherette, kid, fabric, synthetic fiber, etc.
Often, a wallet serves as a small clutch for its owner.
It closes with various types of fasteners:
- lightning;
- button;
- riveting;
- Velcro;
- kiss clasp.
Inside, the model is equipped with compartments for paper and iron money, for discount cards, and has secret pockets for all kinds of small items.
Since wallets are predominantly a ladies' item, manufacturers do not skimp on a variety of colors and decor. The colors range from calm to bright and are decorated with appliqués, rhinestones, and sequins. In general, to everyone who loves the weaker sex so much.
What is the difference between a purse and a purse
- There is a significant difference in size: the wallet is much larger. A wallet, as a rule, is neater and more compact. Due to the small volume, banknotes are stored folded in a wallet. And in the female version, paper money is placed straightened, hence the difference in size.
- A women's wallet is more expressive in color and design. The men's wallet is made in a strict color palette. Neutral, muted and brutal colors are used: from gray, brown, to classic black. Characterized by the absence of decorative finishing.
- In the women's version there is a compartment for small items, in the men's version there is usually none.
- The purse has one clasp on the outside or no clasp at all. The wallet has a more diverse number of options for fastening devices.
- The men's model is made from leather materials, while the women's model is more affordable in terms of manufacturing options and fabrics from which it is made.
Know that the boundaries of difference between one and the other are very conditional. After all, the main purpose of a purse, purse or wallet is to store money. Therefore, it is important that your personal “portable mobile bank” is easy to use and of high quality. And it’s not so important what it’s called.
