The need for a separate product for storing keys arose with the emergence of huge bundles among the nobles, who occupied a lot of space and did not always fit into wallets and pockets.

Already in the twenties of the nineteenth century, young and adult people with might and main used convenient key keepers. Among the fans of this practical and functional product was even Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin himself.

The first pocket models were made of genuine leather, because it was the most suitable, durable and practical material. The appearance of products from other materials occurred much later, when the key holders were no longer just a functional detail, but also a stylish accessory.

Some give their preference to the product, which is two in one: a key keeper-wallet. The product is a foldable rectangular wallet, with a compartment for paper notes, a small pocket for metal coins and small carabiners for keys located in the middle of the inside.

In accordance with the style in which a particular product is made, it will have an appropriate appearance. But you should not pay much attention to the usual styles, unless of course you are an ardent fan of classic or retro.

Stylists advise to pay attention to unusual, but very interesting styles, representing stunning, unusual and even fascinating products:

This style is incredibly popular both in European and Western countries, and in Russia. The main and characteristic feature of it is to create not a simple ornament and appliqué, but an entire, as realistic as possible, picture.

Even housekeepers in the style of Provence are something extraordinarily feminine and tender. They are made from materials of light shades and have the same unusual print depicting Parisian beauties or colors, and bright colors are not used at all.

In addition to the differences in shape and stylistic features, the key holders also differ in size, suitable for one type of key or another.

For example, for long keys a large, rectangular model that can completely close a long part of a key is the best fit. For large ligaments, it is recommended to choose such a product, since it will be the most convenient and practical.

For small short keys, for the purpose of practicality and space saving, you should not choose an oversized model. It is better to stay on a stylish small key case of square, oval or round shape.

The material from which handbags for keys are made directly affects the functionality and practicality of the finished product. Some materials for many years retain their original appearance, and some quickly become unusable. Let us consider in more detail which materials are more suitable for the manufacture of key keepers:

• The most practical and affordable material can be considered dense silicone. The key holders made of it are distinguished by high wear resistance and are practically not torn. Silicone model is good because it is easy to wash in the event of pollution and does not need additional care.

• No less practical are leather and suede products, but the cost of natural materials may be slightly overestimated. For those who want to save, there are more budget options for the key case of leatherette and faux suede.

• Of all the options, the least practical are knitted and woven key cases. The materials involved in their manufacture, do not have high wear resistance, so the product quickly loses its functionality and original appearance.

Since most of the time, the housekeeper is in a pocket or bag, it is not necessary to choose its color in accordance with the color scheme of the whole image. You can safely experiment, creating a mood in accordance with the shade of the product.

But one should not, nevertheless, choose too strongly from the concept of the image, by selecting the details of too bold shades. For example, if your wardrobe is filled mainly with things in a business style and even informal clothes are selected in discreet colors, you should turn your attention to the key keepers of more reserved shades: white, black, beige or brown.

People who prefer bright colors in everything should turn their attention to unusual patterns of red, yellow, green, blue, orange or purple. Bright key holders will look more harmonious, if the selected clothing or bag contains details of the same color in which the product itself is made.

Each brand presents in its collections special, unique products. For example, Wenger makes convenient and most practical housekeepers in everyday and classic styles.

Petek is a great model in modern design. Many of them are made of material with an animalic effect of embossing, in a bright, unusual coloring. A lot of models not only for girls, but also for men.

In the choice of key keepers there are no special rules that should be followed. The main and only rule is to select a product that matches your search criteria and convenience.

For example, you should not choose a small housekeeper, if your bundle has long keys with sharp details. A small, short product in such a case would simply be useless, because the sharp ends will stick out and can ruin and tear the lining of the bag or pocket.

There is also no need to purchase a long product if you have extremely small, neat little keys. In order to save space in a bag or pocket, you should select a key house in accordance with the length of keys and their size.

In addition, if you want to create a single composition of accessories that complement the image, pick up the key house, bag and wallet should be in a single color scheme. So these products will be beautifully combined with each other, creating a kind of set.

For very creative and intricate girls, there is an option not to purchase this product in fashion stores, but to make it yourself at home. This will require very little material and some fasteners.

It is better to choose a dense material that does not tear and will not be tattered over time. It can be thick suede, denim or leather. For home-made, if your machine is not equipped with specialized mechanisms and needles, it is better to do jeans.

It is necessary to measure the length of your keys and cut out the product of any desired shape in accordance with the obtained parameters. The key holder can be square, rectangular, oval or even round. The easiest way to sew a rectangular hinge key.

The width obtained during the measurement must be tripled so that there is a place for smell and fasteners.

In a specialty store you can purchase fastening hooks and fasteners in the form of buttons, which will also be useful in the manufacturing process.

To make a rectangular wrench with a smell, you need to make a pattern in two copies, then lay them face down to each other and sew three of the four sides, then turn out to make a kind of pocket, and all the seams remain inside it.

Then, bend the fourth side of the cut edges inward and stitch along the very edge. The product will need to iron and sew the rest of the edges accordingly.
