Did You Know?
Dunhill manufactured the world's first biometric wallet in 2012. Apart from being made of carbon fiber, it also has a fingerprint scanner and Bluetooth connectivity!
The breast wallet is a long billfold which is longer, sleeker, and thinner, and is meant for being kept in jacket and suit pockets. These wallets can hold large banknotes and checks without folding or damaging them.
Check for the Design and Folds
A good wallet is determined by the need and comfort of its user. Therefore, if you prefer carrying a lighter wallet and do not intend to carry many items, you may want to consider going in for a thin bifold wallet with very few compartments. The lesser number of compartments will prevent the wallet from becoming too bulky, thus, making it less heavy.
Secondly, your credit card and driver's license must fit snugly in each of the card slots, and not slip out of the wallet. Thirdly, the wallet must have a separate and sealed compartment that allows you to store coins without having to fish for it in the wallet.
Check both the inside and outside seams of the wallet for defects such as tears, peeling, discoloration, lose threads, or protruding fabric. You must also make sure that the buttons/zips in the wallet are functioning well.
You may also come across many fake wallets, but one way to avoid buying a fake product is to visit trustworthy retail outlets or from the company's official actual or online store. The only disadvantage of shopping for utility products online is that you will not be able to check the size, feel, and weight of the wallet before buying it.
