What are the different types of wallets for women?

We spend hours looking for the perfect handbag. The straps should be perfect, the colour should be versatile, it should have certain compartments. But think about when was the last time you spent time to find a perfect wallet for yourself? Rarely right. 

While chasing instagram trends and looking for the perfect “it girl” handbags, we often forget one of the most crucial part of our everyday lives. The perfect wallet. A wallet that fits all the cash, cards and also ID proofs. So I say it is about time we start thinking before buying a new wallet.

If you are on a hunt to find the perfect one, worry no more, this blog will answer all your wallet - related questions helping you select the perfect one as per your needs.

Q1 - The most important, How to find a perfect wallet according to my needs and lifestyle?

Your wallet should match your needs. You are going to reach for it more often then you realise. Here is how to select the right one for yourself.

Cardholder wallet

If you are a minimalist who carries only cards and very little cash, then a cardholder wallet or a bi fold wallet will suit your needs the best. It will fit all your cards and your IDs without taking much space in your handbag.

Zip-around wallet

If you are a maximalist like me, who carries a lot in their wallets too, you should go ahead with a zip-around wallet. It will fit all your necessities like cash, card, ID and little knick knacks. This will alllow you to run around just with your wallet in case you dont feel like carrying around a handbag.

Wristlet wallet

If you are someone who loves being handsfree, you can get a wristlet wallet. They come in multiple sizes but it also has a wristlet loop with which you can be a free bird. No more stressing about carrying the wallet in your hand.

TBV Tip: Think about what frustrates you about your current wallet — that’s your clue to what you actually need.

Q2 - What’s the most practical wallet for everyday use?

Honestly, if you ask my opinion, I would say zip around wallet is the safest choice for mostly all the women. It fits literally all the essentials and it is also easy to carry on the days when you do not feel like taking a handbag to run your errands. So for daily use, I think the most practical wallets for women are zip-around wallets.

Q3 - How do we buy a good quality wallet?

Ladies,I know the struggle of finding good quality handbags and wallets. That is the main reason The Bags Vault was born. But here's a quick tip on how to identify a good quality wallet.

Check the material -

The wallet should be either made of Faux leather or canvas. Don't go for those shiny plastic looking wallets. They might look good but are not high quality and might not last long. 

Check the stitching -

While looking for the wallet, make sure that there are no loose threads or ends in the stitching of the wallet. Even one loose thread would cause the wallet to deteriorate quickly over time.

Check the zips-

I always suggest checking the zips before buying any handbag or wallets. If it is smooth then it's the right choice. The zip should not get stuck while opening and closing. That's the biggest red flag when it comes to handbags and wallets.

Q4 - What type of wallets are trending right now?

In 2025, we women prefer handbags and wallets that are stylish yet functional. So in 2025, zip-around wallets are trending. But there's a twist to it. Women are preferring sleek, modern looking wallets in 2025. Colours that match almost all outfits like tan, beige or black. And slim yet wallets that can hold all their must haves.

Ladies, wallets might be tiny but they are mighty useful in day to day life. You cannot go anywhere without a wallet and so choosing the right one is important. At The Bags Vault, we aim to bridge the gap and always bring the best quality handbags and wallets so you always find your right pick!
