Selected as much for its practicality and ergonomics as for its look, the winning portfolio must fulfill many criteria. What is the best model for women to slip into her bag? How to choose yours well? Follow our advice and our panel of shopping wallets.
To be really practical, a wallet for women must have many compartments: a part to store loyalty or other cards, one for tickets, another for coins (preferably closed with a zip to be sure that they do not escape), a cover for shopping, restaurant or petrol tickets … before buying your wallet, therefore think about what you plan to store. Maybe you will add stamps, business cards? The portfolio is above all an organizational tool, and it is better to be well equipped.
If you like noble materials but fear that wear or a stain will come too quickly to harm its design, opt for a robust leather wallet, not necessarily the first quality. Smooth plastic wallets also have the advantage of being easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Also think of the importance of the sensation offered by the wallet to the touch: leather, fleece, plastic, the effect in the hand will not be the same.
Remember that the wallet is also a real fashion accessory, which can act as an elegant evening pocket. The choice of pattern and color can then depend on your personal wardrobe or state of mind. Fortunately, the world of the portfolio is large, and has been largely enriched by major fashion brands.
