What is a wallet?

It is accepted to call a purse a product from various materials, as a rule, a flat type, intended for storage of money and convenient, safe carrying with them during movement.

The history of the first wallet

Historians claim that the very first wallets were small bags in which the people of ancient Turkey kept their savings. And during the Renaissance, wallets have already acquired a more modern look, close to the current models of this product.

According to historical sources in Russia, wallets appeared at the beginning of the nineteenth century on the territory of modern Novgorod. It looked the same as the first in the history of a similar product - in the form of a bag tightly tied with a cord at the top.

A similar appearance had the first wallets in the countries of medieval Europe. The peculiarity was that the wallets were attached to the belt and had an interesting name - omoner. In ancient China and Japan, a sturdy leather cord was used as a purse, on which money coins with holes in the middle were strung.

Features

Every thing has its own characteristics, characteristic only to her, and that wallet is no exception. One of the most obvious features is convenience, because all the money is neatly folded in one place, and not scattered in pockets and a bag.

Most wallets have such a feature as reliability, ensured by durability. Nothing guarantees the safety and durability of the product, as a reliable strong seam, perfect with the help of dense threads, as well as combined with cardboard inserts glued inside.

In addition, the durability of wallets is ensured by the fact that in its manufacture exclusively quality materials are used. Some manufacturers are engaged in the manufacture of handmade wallets, which take into account personal wishes and sizes specified by the customer.

A soft wallet that does not have cardboard or any other tight lining is usually very roomy, but has only one compartment. This model is presented in the form of a small bag with a latch, which is more suitable for storing coins.

A soft wallet is perhaps the most convenient option for children who carry a small amount to school. This wallet does not take up much space and will be easy to use even for a child.

The best wallets are made only from high quality materials. These are mainly popular brands, in the collections of which ultrafashionable exclusive models are presented. Among them there are unusual cool options.

For an easier choice, it is worth exploring the wallets lineup in more detail, considering how each model is called and what features it has.

Models

Interestingly, there are quite a lot of models of wallets, and each of them has its advantages and disadvantages. The preferences of each girl are individual, and therefore the creation of wallets of different models and different sizes is to some extent a necessity.

For example, a purse is distinguished by refinement and restraint, does not contain any extra details, everything is only the most necessary. A large wallet is a rectangular wallet with a zipper or button.

A small purse looks half as small, because such a model is foldable, which is much more practical in terms of compactness.A small-sized purse will fit even into a small handbag and will not take up too much space in a large one.

It is worth noting that small purses are often classified as wallets, since they have almost the same “structure”. In the wallet, as in the purse, there is a compartment for paper notes, for small iron coins, and also a place for plastic cards.

All the same components have a folding wallet - organizer, which can be made of different materials, depending on which changes its internal appearance. Soft leather, suede or fabric option in addition to the compartments for money and cards also has a special place for the handle.

The plastic model of the wallet - the organizer looks a bit more, because it has additional compartments where identity documents, small pieces of paper or even a compact notebook can be stored.

It is worth noting that all the models described above have a predominantly flat appearance, without any bulky additional parts.

Unusual

The unusual model - a chest wallet, presented in several variations, is convenient because there is no need for a bag. Sports models of these wallets are well suited for travel and tourism, and the classic ones allow you to wear a wallet around your neck under outerwear.

The first thing that comes to mind at the mention of a purse is a men's small handbag, but not every girl knows that there is such a wallet model as a women's purse.

A purse of this type is a rectangular model, which can also be foldable, with three or four compartments, which is quite easily confused with a purse. A distinctive feature is the additional handle, thanks to which you can carry a wallet, wearing on your wrist.

Speaking of folding wallets can not be overlooked and the model in three additions. This model is more compact because it folds three times, turning into a small rectangle. This wallet fits perfectly in most small handbags.

An excellent model in a sports style are wallets, fastened on the belt. Often the wallet is made of durable, wear-resistant fabric, has several compartments with a zipper and is great for hiking and sightseeing.

Clasps

In addition to the zipper, there are many other options for fasteners. For example, the wallet on the latch looks more feminine and elegant. A magnet wallet may not be as practical as the magnet quite quickly loses its functionality and often begins to unfasten.

The purse on the button is probably one of the most common options, which fastens well and firmly. In order to open such a wallet, it is necessary to apply some elementary efforts, therefore the model will definitely not be undone arbitrarily.

A clasp with a button can also have a leather money clip, which from the outside looks like a regular wallet, but instead of the usual compartment for bills, it has a metal pin. The clamp can be equipped with a compartment for coins and plastic cards.

Kinds

In addition to a large variety in models, wallets are divided into several types, each of which deserves a separate attention and has certain features.

Sports

A sports wallet is an ideal option for a traveler, since such a model frees your hands, whether it is a product around the neck or a belt version. Sports wallet, for the most part, is multifunctional and is often used as a daily option.

Tourist wallet models are more voluminous than any other, therefore it allows you to store inside not only money and cards, but also documents, as well as other important details of a small size.

A sports wallet, among other things, can be equipped with pockets, which makes it even more functional, since small keystrokes of keys for housing or a car can be stored in pockets.

Classical

The classic wallet model always looks sophisticated and elegant, and is a choice mainly of business people, the details, the image of which should correspond to a holistic appearance.

The classic wallet is equipped with compartments for plastic cards, for notes and coins, and for documents. There is nothing superfluous, only all the most necessary.

Often the business card is an integral part of a classic business wallet, as a business person should always have a card with him with his contacts in order to quickly share them if necessary.

For the driver

The model for drivers has much more functionality than the usual model, because in such a wallet it is necessary to have a special place for rights. Such a wallet should be equipped with slots not only for money and cards, but also for autodocuments. Also, the wallet has a clear compartment, where the driver's license is usually located.

The materials from which the wallets are made can be quite diverse, but each of them has characteristic qualities and properties peculiar only to this material. To choose the most practical and durable wallet, you should learn more about these features.

Silicone

A relatively new and unusual is the model of a silicone wallet, which is made of a soft, but rather dense material.

Silicone wallet is good because it does not let in moisture and is quite easy to clean when it gets dirty. But such a model is not very durable and can easily be damaged when interacting with metal sharp objects.

Lacquer

Varnished wallets are not always practical, since this material is known for its whimsical and fragile.

It is not uncommon for cracks and creases to appear on lacquer products, and if careless handling can cause scratches.

Undoubtedly, the lacquer wallet looks beautiful and spectacular, but requires special attention and too careful attitude. So, such a product is perfect as an accessory, but not recommended for everyday use.

Suede

Looks great suede wallet, which is also quite durable and resistant to all sorts of loads. For example, a suede wallet will not lose its original appearance during severe frosts and will not be scratched, for example, on the keys carelessly thrown into the bag.

The minus of a suede wallet can only be the surface marco. Grease stains or just dark prints from hands quickly appear on a matte surface, so before you take such a product in hand, you must thoroughly wash them.

Fabric

Quite a common option are wallets made of textiles, which are usually attributed to the more budget options.

The most commonly used is a thick cotton fabric, which is called a canvas. A purse of this material has high strength, and the surface can be easily cleaned of dirt with a brush and a damp cloth.

The advantage of dark models is that they are more practical and less contaminated. For example, a black model or purse of a brown shade is perfect if you want to buy a neutral product.

To dark colors can also be attributed blue and burgundy. These shades have unprecedented popularity this season, which is not surprising, because they look very bright and juicy.

The opposite of dark shades are the purses of white and light beige colors. Such models are more dirty and require very careful treatment. You can choose a model of classic beige color, which is not so branded and will be more practical to use.

A purse of blue color, and especially of a heavenly hue, will appeal to absolutely any girl. This shade inspires and pleases the eye, and with visual perception creates a sense of tranquility.
