Women’s Long Wallets Buying Guide-How to Choose a Lady’s Wallet?

Women’s Long Wallets have become a popular choice for many people when replacing their wallets due to their variety of styles. However, based on usage habits, gift-giving needs, or budget considerations, it is easy to fall into a difficult choice. In fact, it is not difficult to find a product that both you and the recipient are satisfied with. As long as the general direction is determined, the scope can be narrowed down to small details. I believe that the ideal target will be locked soon.

This article will be on the theme of “Women’s Long Wallets”. I want to share a few tips when purchasing with value friends. Instead of choosing blindly, you may wish to refer to the following content for valuable inspiration!

1、Key points for choosing women’s long wallets

First of all, I will explain to you the key points worth observing when purchasing a long wallet for women. Friends who are planning to buy are welcome to give us more references.

1.1 Choose a style according to usage habits

Long wallets can be mainly divided into three types: “half-fold type”, “three-fold type” and “organ type”. Before rushing to choose a style, it is recommended to take some time to understand the advantages and disadvantages of each. Then, further, tune out the category that suits you.

1.1.1 Half-fold type: multi-standard design, horizontal and vertical have their own supporters

Half-fold type of women's long wallets

The advantage of the double-fold type is that it is clear at a glance after opening the wallet. Women can quickly find the card or certificate they want to take. However, it lacks privacy. If you are worried about being opened and peeped at will, it is recommended to choose products with pressure buckle or magnetic buckle opening and closing design.

There are two common specifications for folding leather wallets: “straight” and “horizontal”. Most of the straight configurations are card slots and bill slots. And in order to maintain a thin and light appearance, a few coin pockets are planned. So, it is ideal for those who don’t like their wallets to be too bulky.

As for the horizontal type, it emphasizes the multi-functional integration of the card slot, bill slot, and coin pocket. If the number of cards does not exceed 10 and you are not used to carrying an extra coin purse. This wallet should be very useful.

1.1.2 Tri-fold type: with multiple card slots and interlayers, complete functions

Tri-fold type

As the name suggests, the trifold wallet must be unfolded to see the entire interior of the wallet. Depending on the product, some only need to unfold one side to take banknotes or cards. This can quite cater to the selection considerations of those who value privacy.

Furthermore, the tri-fold wallet has a large number of card slots and compartments. They can meet the carrying needs of the Doka group when holding multiple currencies.

However, under the layers of stacked cards, it is inevitable that the appearance thickness will increase and it will be inconvenient to hold. Therefore, this type of wallet is more suitable for groups that usually take bags out.

1.1.3 Organ style: easy classification and storage, get rid of the messy wallet

Organ style

The charm of this type of wallet is that although it is thick, there are plenty of compartments, zipper coin pockets, and card slots when the interior is unfolded. Therefore, this is quite convenient for classification and storage. Moreover, their appearance is not easily deformed by being filled with banknotes, cards, or small changes, so the aesthetic appearance can be maintained.

Second, most wallets of this type have a zippered design. Therefore, ladies don’t have to worry about the internal items falling out when they go out with their own hands. If you are used to shopping and printing receipts, or the number of cards and certificates exceeds single digits, you can use it to improve the messiness of your wallet.

2、How to Choose the Materials?

After deciding on the type of wallet, the next thing to consider is the material. Since the material characteristics are related to the durability and cleaning convenience of the wallet, the material is also a very important part in the purchase process. Next, I will introduce the characteristics of the following three common materials.

2.1 Cloth: consider feel and durability

Cloth

Most of the women’s cloth leather long wallets on the market are made of Oxford cloth, jacquard cloth, canvas, and other materials. They have the advantage of being mild to the touch and strong and wear-resistant. But its disadvantage is that it is not waterproof. If the desktop is wet or accidentally touched with drinks or food sauces, it is easy to penetrate and leave stains. It will look dirty and old after a period of use.

Therefore, we recommend choosing dark-colored wallets such as black and brown. You can also keep things tidy by purchasing a cloth cleaner. Those who are interested in buying cloth boutique wallets may wish to give more references.

2.2 Synthetic leather: diverse colors with no maintenance pressure

Synthetic leather

The biggest advantage of synthetic leather is that it is affordable. Moreover, it has a high-grade texture that is no less than the genuine leather and it is waterproof to a certain extent, so we don’t need to spend too much time on maintenance. Common synthetic leather materials are PU (polyurethane) and PVC (polyvinyl chloride).

Both have high strength and hardness and are easy to process. Therefore, it is more diverse in style and color than genuine leather. This is also one of the reasons for its popularity.

2.3 Genuine leather: good ductility and high durability

Genuine leather wallet

The price range of women’s genuine leather wallets is very wide. This is due to the different types of animal leather used, as well as the parts and grades of the leather. But no matter which one you choose, its texture is softer and more malleable than synthetic leather.

Also, it feels great to the touch. The most special thing is that the leather surface will show a special luster and texture with long-term use. This makes each wallet unique.

In conclusion

Every women’s long wallet has different features and benefits. Therefore, we suggest that when you choose them, you can choose according to your preferences and needs. Every women’s long wallet is unique in its own way. Moreover, various decorations can be added to the leather wallet. Such as metal tags, leather tags, zipper pulls and zipper sliders, etc. These small decorations and accessories will make your wallet more chic.

Therefore, it is also more suitable for making leather shoes, leather bags, belts, and other products. Sheepskin is more suitable for making leather clothing.
