I agree with a nice bold color being easy to see in a crowded bag! :D Although...mine needs a cleaning badly, it's looking more black than red these days. Ohhhh my, as I'm writing this comment there's a brand-new one on eBay right now that's exactly the same! To heck with trying to spruce up the old one! :D I’ve had the same red Kate Spade “Maria” nylon wallet for almost 5 years (my first “grown-up” accessories purchase, at age 23, hahahaha), and I absolutely love it — I don’t think I’ve ever owned a neutral-colored wallet.

Now to sort through my overstuffed black one...argh. What a great picker-upper to see that red wallet in my black bag on these darker and drearier fall days. Thanks for the timely post, Angie!

I discovered it yesterday and enjoyed going through some of the previous posts. I've got a black leather wallet that is worn on the edges. I've been thinking for a while now to replace it, but I'm so glad I read this post before I did! I think I'm going to step away from my trusted black and look for a glamorous one! Fabulous website!

For some reason I’ve never thought of a wallet as an accessory, and this makes me see them in a whole new light. Mine is very practical, and it’s still in good condition despite my having it for several years, but it is boring and black. While I don’t have issues with finding my wallet (because I’m an organizing freak) I would love to have one that makes me smile when I pull it out. I’m not rushing out for a new wallet, but when it comes time to look for a new one, I’ll certainly print off this list and take it with me. Another great post.

I'm with you Angie on your list, except I can't stand carrying change because my purse gets too heavy. I clean out change frequently. We take all the quarters and put them in the car for parking meters. The rest goes into a basket and when the basket is full, we take it to the bank. However, I must say I just got my chameleon purse insert and the idea with that is that you don't need a wallet. So I'm trying that out for now. Otherwise, DH knows "wallet" is on my xmas wish list (I should send him this blog post!) I’m late but this is timely for me, as my wallet recently broke.

I always have red wallets. My current is a HOBO one - they make great ones! I got it on Ebay for less than half the cost. Suggest everyone find their dream wallet by looking in stores (is there any other way than by touching it to choose one?) and then try to find the same thing for less online. Jessica, check them out, they just may have the silver one you're looking for..... So totally agree with you on being able to spot your wallet in your bag. I always have red wallets.

Until a few months ago I had a a boring black wallet (that I could never find in my bag), but I finally went for color and now have two favorites that I alternate depending on which purse I'm using: red and pink crocodile. Both are Lodis mini card case wallets which are perfect for me since I only carry four cards: debit, credit, driver's license and health insurance. They both make me smile when I take them out. I'm still looking for the perfect little silver wallet though... What a great topic!

I'm one of those people who is forever rummaging around in her purse unable to find anything. My wallet is a plain navy blue leather one that really should be updated (it's 6 years old). I should probably get a brightly colored cell phone case too since that seems to disappear into my purse as well.
