    Learn More About Wallets

    When it comes to shopping for the best wallets for yourself or for friends and family, there are a few key things to consider.


    • Size: Wallets come in a variety of sizes, so opt for one that is big enough to hold your credit cards, cash, and other essentials, and small enough for you to carry in your pocket or handbag with ease.
    • Purpose: When choosing your wallet, decide how you plan to use it. You might need a pocket wallet to hold your everyday cards and cash, or a travel wallet for your passport and plane tickets.
    • Material: Shops on Etsy craft women’s and men’s wallets in a range of materials. Leather is one of the most popular materials for wallets. It’s durable, long-lasting, and, like fine wine, gets better with age. Prefer a more vegan-friendly option? Wallets made of cork are durable and come in all sorts of fun shades—from eggplant purple to avocado green. Vegan leather wallets are another popular alternative. Fabric wallets made from cotton, linen, or canvas are a great choice for those who want a flexible, lightweight wallet with a unique, handcrafted style.
    • Style: From classic bi-fold leather wallets monogrammed with your initials to cute wallets in a variety of bold, eye-popping colors and embossed designs, artisans on Etsy create a wide range of quality-crafted wallets in a world of eye-catching designs to express your individual style.

    Whether you’re shopping for fashionable women’s wallets or want to learn about the best wallets for men, there are many different types to choose from. Here are some popular options to consider:


    • Bi-fold wallets feature a simple, slim, fold-in-half design to hold credit cards, cash, and your ID.
    • Tri-fold wallets fold into three sections and have numerous slots and pockets to stow cards, cash, and other essentials.
    • Chain wallets include a chain that fastens to your belt loop for secure carrying.
    • Phone case wallets have a pocket to hold your phone as well as slots for cash and cards.
    • Wristlet wallets include a strap you slip through your wrist to keep your wallet close at hand.
    • RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) wallets are made with a layer of carbon or aluminum to block electromagnetic signals emitted from RFID-based credit cards, bank cards, and ID cards, helping to keep them safe.

    Wallets make wonderful gifts for every occasion—from birthdays and wedding anniversaries to Christmas and other holidays. Many small shops on Etsy offer personalized wallets and a wide range of customizable options to create one-of-a-kind wallets your loved ones will adore.
