Leather Wallets
From LoveToKnow Handbags
Leather wallets tenderly tuck your bills and credit cards into the pampering folds of soft deceased animal flesh. In an age of political and ecological correctness, you might ask yourself whether leather is ultimately better. But anyone who places priority on the safety of their Visa and freshly minted money will tell you that the nearly water resistant texture of leather gives them a sense of security and sophistication, one that fabric wallets cannot provide. Moreover, with the hundred of distinct designers, each of whom offer brand name small leather goods, leather wallets are also the choice of many a fashion-conscious individual.
Why Leather is Better
You're an adult, not a highschooler who spends his post-class hours working at Steak-n-Shake. So those cute fabric wallets that open and close with the thrilling rip of Velcro seem inappropriate.
Picture yourself at the airport. You're holding a business-class ticket to New York where you will be conducting business, because that is what you are, a business man. You walk up to ticket counter and out of your sleek double-breasted Armani coat you produce a soft Iltalian leather Versace wallet. The travelers behind you swoon because they realize the societal difference between you and the rest of the madding crowd. You have a leather wallet, a designer leather wallet. There's no chance of you riding coach this afternoon. Many people recognize leather goods as boasting a material and societal advantage.
Leather wallets not only distinguish you as a mature, responsible upscale human being, who uses every single one of the four hundred forks placed in front of him at those sleek restaurants where half of the menu is untranslatable, but in addition these wallets are also easier to clean. Sure, the Coach company makes a fine collection of signature jacquard fabric wallets; however, try spilling a can of Pepsi on their flimsy cloth exterior, an accident that quickly results in approximately 200 dollars worth of damage. You can clean coach purses and wallets, but it can be tricky. Although not entirely waterproof, leather is a first line of defense against pesky spills, stains, and dust; and blemishes fade away easily when your handbags are regularly exposed to a high-quality leather cleanser.
Leather is:
- Easier to clean.
- Far more sophisticated.
- More protective.
- Available in several designer styles.
Styles of Leather Wallets
Who doesn't like the look of sleek black leather? Designers like Cartier understand that a wallet should make a statement as well as a safe haven for the hundreds of dollars you must have in order to be the sort of person who can afford a Cartier wallet. And you are just that sort of person.
Alright, maybe you're not the sort of person who spends 500 dollars on a leather wallet. That's why Hype makes affordable wallets for the less classy and economically concerned. The Hype Piccadilly wallet offers the dependability of antique leather alongside the convenience of a snap closure. A wallet this user-friendly deserves to have your fingerprints all over it.
Which brings us to the next advantage of leather…
Put Your Paranoia to Rest
Do you suffer from the nagging fear that everyone is out to get their hands on your money? One spectacular advantage of a wallet crafted out of leather is that the sleek surface makes fingerprints easily detectable. With a leather wallet you can actually see who is handling your goods on a routine basis.
The Cost of Quality
Some may claim that a leather wallet is just an excessive expense, but we all know from reading Forbes that quality costs. A wallet isn't like a set of keys or a favorite ball-point pen. You shouldn't plan on replacing your wallet every six months; when you're shopping for a wallet, you're looking deep into the future. For at least the next two or three years this wallet will remain your special friend, the trusted home of your Mastercard. It will accompany you to the office or to the store, it will be held firmly in your hands as you vacillate over expensive electronic purchases. It will nest your horrid driver's license photos and your student identification card from college years past. A wallet does not last forever, unlike your student loans, but it should be a faithful companion, the sort of item you should feel ashamed to lose.
…And leather lasts a heck of a lot longer than the animal it was once attached to. Consumers who are looking for top-quality durable wallets should consider leather as their primary choice.
