    Learn More About Pouches & Coin Purses

    A coin purse is a type of small bag used to hold coins. It keeps the coins separate from other items inside your handbag, making them easier to find. Many people keep a small coin purse in addition to their wallet. A coin purse keychain is particularly convenient, as you can attach it to your keys or your wallet for easy access. A coin purse doesn't have to be used just for coins, either. You can also use it to store all sorts of odds and ends, like hair pins or your favorite pieces of small jewelry.

    Coin purse wallets come in two main designs depending on how they close: with a zipper or a drawstring. Both have their own unique appeal, and the one you choose depends on your preferences and personal style.


    • Zip coin purse: A coin purse that closes with a zipper will keep your coins securely contained at all times. Simply toss it in your bag and you're good to go. Zip coin purses tend to have a more chic and modern style.
    • Drawstring coin pouch: Coin pouches that close with a drawstring have a more traditional and crafty feel. As long as you draw the string tight enough, drawstring coin pouches are very secure and can be taken anywhere.

    Coin pouches and purses are available in a wide variety of materials that allow for a plethora of styles. Think about the type of material that would complement your outfits and accessories best. Coin purse materials include:


    • Leather coin purse: Classic leather never goes out of style. Leather coin purses have a sophisticated look, and this strong and durable material lasts for a long time.
    • Fabric coin purse: The sellers on Etsy carry fabric coin purses crafted out of cotton, twill, canvas, silk, and more. You can even find crochet coin purses brimming with artisanal appeal.
    • Cork coin purse: Keep things fresh with cork—these fun coin purse wallets combine color and durability, and they often feature folksy designs great for a boho style.
