New Wallet: Here are some ideas

I’m just like my mom: I’m an under-buyer. I will let something get really old and gross (think holes in underwear or stretched out bathing suits) before I go shopping for a new thing. (Editor’s Note: If you aren’t sure if you are an over-buyer or under-buyer, you can check out Gretchen Rubin’s quiz here or listen to The Girl Next Door Podcast episode about the concept). It looks like it has been six years since I bought a new wallet.

This time around, I decided against a fabric wallet. I actually don’t want to replace my wallets every 3.5-6 years, which is what I’ve been doing this past decade. I’d love to make it at least 10 years before buying a new one! (See, under-buyer in the house).

Here’s the criteria I was looking for:

• Durable outer material
• Aesthetically beautiful
• A place for coins
• A place for bills to lay flat
• Easy to open and close
• As small as possible
• Likely to stay shut

Here are the options I considered:

From YouIndividual on Etsy

Vegan wallet from Reispeices

From Corkor

Zip-around wallet from ChurchillAtelier

From Alana Leather Studio

I opted for the first one. I’m crossing my fingers that I love it!

If you are invested in hearing the outcome, I will probably be more likely to mention it within my weekly newsletter. I hope the verdict is positive!
