Then I transferred the rest into a small one that only holds a few cards, notes and no coins. I am going to try using my credit card whenever I can rather than cash and see how it goes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-wallet-do-you-carry/page/2#post-1842509 Tue, 05 Sep 2017 18:03:39 +0000 JuniperGreen 1842509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually have been going wallet free with a Kate Spade phone case that includes card slots. &nbsp;However, I still end up carrying little zippered bags in my purse or tote to carry other things, like a few dollars in cash and biz cards, etc.<br />Similar:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.shopbop.com/leather-wrap-folio-iphone-plus/vp/v=1/1552905645.htm?currencyCode=USD&amp;extid=SE_froogle_SC_usa&amp;cvosrc=cse.google.KATES44437&amp;cvo_campaign=SB_Google_USD&amp;ef_id=WXjxjAAAAF-5c2_U:20170905180247:s">https://www.shopbop.com/leathe.....SD&#038;ex</a></p> <p>When I DO carry a wallet (like for longer trips where I need more resources at my fingertips) I have a fossil wristlet (mine is in emerald green) and I think it's the second one of the style I've used. &nbsp;<br />Similar:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.fossil.com/us/en/products/emma-rfid-large-zip-clutch-sku-sl7153620c.html">https://www.fossil.com/us/en/p.....3620c.html</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-wallet-do-you-carry/page/2#post-1842496 Tue, 05 Sep 2017 17:40:02 +0000 AndiB 1842496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've gone smaller and smaller over the years. &nbsp;I love this as it has &nbsp;a spot for license, 3 slots for credit cards, bi-fold for cash and small zip compartment for coins. &nbsp;I used to use a huge wallet, but I use many different purse sizes, and want the wallet to fit in even my smallest cross body bag. &nbsp;I have this exact one except in red pebble leather. &nbsp;beautifully made Marc by Marc Jacobs </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-wallet-do-you-carry/page/2#post-1842486 Tue, 05 Sep 2017 17:16:59 +0000 dakotacheryl 1842486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use one from Tumi that's identical to this old one, only sized a little bigger and fit's my iPhone 7plus in the back zippered section.

Please keep them coming if you care to share.</p> <p><b>Barbara Diane</b>, you reminded me that I also carry a separate card holder for rewards cards. The whole rewards cards phenomenon is out of hand theses days.</p> <p><b>Astrid</b>! So nice to hear from you. I was feeling homesick for Berlin when I discovered some Liebeskind products sold locally in a store here recently. I know what you mean about the size. My husband needs a new wallet and I don't think we can find the right thing this side of the ocean. Also hard to find a man's wallet here with a coin purse. In fact a man's wallet is frequently just called a "billfold" here.</p> <p><b>Angie</b>, your post made me smile because what I finally lit upon for myself was essentially the corresponding wallet that goes with my ruby Furla. Slightly different closure style. I would have been tempted by yellow, though, had it been available. I love a bright wallet. For me it came down to a decision between Furla and Marc Jacobs, but the Furla for a better price had much better workmanship and more color options.</p> <p>I am going to add photos finds in a minute. ETA: added. I was shopping the MJ in olive.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-wallet-do-you-carry#post-1842304 Tue, 05 Sep 2017 00:19:33 +0000 Anonymous 1842304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I carry a green genuine crocodile wallet my DH bought me when we went to Nicaragua. We got it from a lady who makes them, not from a souvenir shop, and we made sure it was not made from an endangered crocodile (anything made from endangered crocodile is illegal to bring into the states). The walker holds a lot, so I'm happy with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-wallet-do-you-carry#post-1842289 Mon, 04 Sep 2017 22:28:56 +0000 Echo 1842289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've carried variations on the Coach accordion zippy wallet for years. They have tremendous amounts of space, plenty of credit card slots, many divisions and a zipper pocket for coins. I generally use one for about two years before finding one I think I need again, although the ones I am no longer using still look and feel new, so they are tough and long-lasting.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-wallet-do-you-carry#post-1842283 Mon, 04 Sep 2017 22:01:12 +0000 Barbara Diane 1842283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, right now I have everything in little zip soft material bags. One holds my money folded in half, coins, ID, credit cards, doctor's business cards for DH and I, and other important info. Another one for rewards cards. Another one for gift cards and discount coupons. One for makeup. One big one for most everything else except water bottles.&nbsp;<br />Yes, I carry way too much.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-wallet-do-you-carry#post-1842271 Mon, 04 Sep 2017 21:18:58 +0000 The Cat 1842271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A black leather wallet with a few rooms.

Love the size (it fit an old german id in the back, if you know the size). It has enough room for bills and coins and enough card slots for everything important - and too few to lug unnecessary stuff around. I like that it forces me to keep the amount I carry down. And the zipper makes it feel quite secure. The size fits in (almost) any bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-wallet-do-you-carry#post-1842183 Mon, 04 Sep 2017 14:51:05 +0000 Angie 1842183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Citron Furla.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-wallet-do-you-carry#post-1841992 Sun, 03 Sep 2017 21:26:45 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1841992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a cheapo Merona cardholder which fit my needs perfectly before part of it split. Now that i know that style works as well for me as I'd hoped, I may ask for a nice one for Christmas. Before this, I used a purse with slots for cards and a pocket for bills. Before that, a tiny Fossil pouch that my phone didn't fit into.</p> <p>This is approximately the style of mine (but mine has a spot for an ID on the backside, and zipper across the top for $$) <a href="https://www.bulgari.com/en-us/products/283761-e.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.bulgari.com/en-us/.....761-e.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-wallet-do-you-carry#post-1841894 Sun, 03 Sep 2017 13:06:09 +0000 K.M. 1841894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm following this thread with interest as I've been in the wallet doldrums for a while.</p> <p>I wish I could be as spare as most of you in this thread, but I like to carry lots in my wallet: cards (including a variety of professional membership IDs, insurance etc.), useful business cards, pics of my kid, cash, who knows what else. </p> <p>I'm almost embarrassed to share the wallet I use here (partly because I don't love it); it's called <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000GX30YY/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1">"Big Fat Wallet"</a> and it is an inexpensive fake leather product I got on Amazon. I can certainly fit all my stuff in a clearly organized way, but the wallet is indeed too big and fat. It got so heavy I had to cull down the contents because it was weighing my handbag down. Also it doesn't really look very good in person. </p> <p>My ideal wallet would be a little lighter and slimmer but still with enough compartments to fit a variety of items as I described above. Years ago BR had a beautiful cowhide one that I gave to my mom as a gift; to this day I regret not having bought one for myself.</p> <p>I'm thinking of experimenting with the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.madewell.com/newarrivals/bags/PRDOVR~G8688/G8688.jsp?color_name=cider">Madewell</a> leather pouch, which some people use as a wallet. I got one on sale that's lovely in cognac with whimsical golden pineapples printed on it, but I haven't given it a try yet. I don't super like the idea that the top-zipper opening won't give me such easy access to the contents, but there are many rave reviews of people who use it as a wallet when carrying a large tote, and then simply bring it with them as a clutch on occasions when they don't need the tote.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-wallet-do-you-carry#post-1841877 Sun, 03 Sep 2017 10:03:39 +0000 Staysfit 1841877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've gone through all sorts of wallets from large to small, but my favorite of all is a trifold leather wallet from Big Skinny. I love it! I've had it for years. It was inexpensive. It is lightweight, and it is smaller than any other wallet I have tried which allows me to fit more and still carry a small purse if I want. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-wallet-do-you-carry#post-1841871 Sun, 03 Sep 2017 09:11:35 +0000 Jane 1841871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I carry as little as I can, so go for a purse most days, but sometimes I will just carry the little red cardholder shown here.&nbsp;</p> <p>On other days, I have a lovely Marc Jacobs wallet that takes my phone and cards and coins.&nbsp; </p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-wallet-do-you-carry#post-1841864 Sun, 03 Sep 2017 08:36:06 +0000 lozz_oz 1841864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Most recently I had a Furla zip around wallet with a removable patent leather coin purse. It was great quality, but finally it required replacement. <br />In line with minimising + streamlining many things in my life, I have downsized to a black ponyhair clutch style wallet with room for about 5-6 essential cards, cash + coins. It accommodates my phone, so it can be used as a clutch + I can go out without a handbag if I wish. I love that it is lighter, more compact, yet still smart looking without necessarily looking like a 'traditional' wallet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-wallet-do-you-carry#post-1841716 Sat, 02 Sep 2017 12:30:22 +0000 Scarlet 1841716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s fun to read what works for different people. I am very impressed by those of you who stay organized with only a billfold. I am thinking you all must be very disciplined about putting appointment, receipts, etc. away in the right place as soon as you get home. </p> <p>Binkle, good tip about Lodis. It seems to have similar space to mine but a slightly smaller profile.</p> <p>Style Fan, that is one of the things I like about the Hobo so much, is that it’s so easy to see and access the coins.</p> <p>Mtnsofthemoon, that does look similar but slightly smaller. Could be the ticket for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-wallet-do-you-carry#post-1841710 Sat, 02 Sep 2017 11:19:04 +0000 LaPed 1841710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had a small card carrier from Alchemy Goods (they make accessories out of old bike tubes) for about a decade: <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.alchemygoods.com/collections/wallets-clutches/products/night-out-wallet">https://www.alchemygoods.com/c.....out-wallet</a>&nbsp;</p> <p>It's starting to give out, and I'll probably replace it with something similarly small but lighter weight, like this: <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.flowfold.com/product/minimalist-limited-card-holder-wallet">https://www.flowfold.com/produ.....der-wallet</a>.&nbsp;</p> <p>I carry ID, debit &nbsp;and credit card, health insurance card, and I usually try to remember to carry a bit of cash too. Can't imagine carrying something that doesn't fit in pants pockets. (I do save receipts and change, but never in my wallet; they go either in my pocket or in my bag, and then get sorted into storage containers at home.)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-wallet-do-you-carry#post-1841707 Sat, 02 Sep 2017 11:06:52 +0000 Mainelady 1841707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use a leather wallet with multiple sections to keep organized for the majority of the time, because I almost always carry a handbag. When traveling I downsize significantly and use a small security wallet, similar to the one shown. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-wallet-do-you-carry#post-1841697 Sat, 02 Sep 2017 08:23:46 +0000 Jenni NZ 1841697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just a plain black one. I almost always have a handbag. If I need to have a clutch it is too fat so I take out ID, a credit card and a little cash to put in the clutch. Please excuse my foot in the pic holding it open! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-wallet-do-you-carry#post-1841682 Sat, 02 Sep 2017 05:49:53 +0000 Kate 1841682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't carried a wallet in 10 years, and don't miss it.</p> <p>Instead, I use a fold-over leather card case. It's the size of a business card, and I carry my ID, debit and Visa card, health insurance card, metro card, and a couple of other random cards in it. That's it. My little card card is bright orange, which I love, and I can always find it in my handbag. Plus, it fits in all my bags, no matter how small, as well as in my pants pocket without distorting the shape of the pocket. When I'm just out running errands, I don't even carry a handbag, so just stick the case in a pocket. &nbsp;I don't carry cash, but use my debit card instead. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-wallet-do-you-carry#post-1841681 Sat, 02 Sep 2017 05:41:46 +0000 mtnsofthemoon 1841681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love hobo wallets for their super organization styles.

It fits what I need without extra bulk. I don't bother with a coin purse. This one has a snap coin holder but I don't use it much -- any coins I accumulate get emptied into a change jar when I get home. </p> <p>I like a smaller wallet because I can fit it in my clutches and smaller bags with more room for eyeglass case, etc. I also like being able to fit it in a jacket pocket if I'm running out quickly for a simple errand. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-wallet-do-you-carry#post-1841670 Sat, 02 Sep 2017 03:44:04 +0000 Gigi 1841670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I carry a small wristlet from Fossil. It's a green color verging on mint. The wristlet strap is detachable. The wallet snaps shut, and inside there is a window for your ID, plus five spots for cards. There is a small pouch inside for bills, and a little zip pouch on the side for coins.</p> <p>I went on the Fossil site but don't see the wallet I have. I got it at the outlet, so maybe it is discontinued.</p> <p>The size is about 6 inches by 3 inches by 1 inch.</p> <p>I love this wallet. It has just enough space for the essentials, so it's not too big. Plus, I can use it on its own if I'm traveling light, thanks to the wristlet strap. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-wallet-do-you-carry#post-1841655 Sat, 02 Sep 2017 02:16:21 +0000 rachylou 1841655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a purple and citron floral version of this wallet from Target. I've carried various styles of this same wallet forever. It's the perfect size for me. I tried a Hobo one, but had trouble getting my cards in and out of it. So Target it is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-wallet-do-you-carry#post-1841631 Fri, 01 Sep 2017 23:22:07 +0000 jill58 1841631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too carried the Hobo 'Lauren' for a long time but switched over to a credit card case since I rarely carry cash. It keeps all credit and appointment cards very visible--also it's extremely light and takes up very little space. Unfortunately, the zip pocket is slightly narrow to store dollar bills--they tend to get caught in the zipper.</p>
