How to Pair Your Wallets With Your Handbags
One of the most important items in your handbag is your leather wallet. A fashionable and functional piece in its own right, you might wonder if your purse and wallet should match. Here at Brahmin, we’ve got the answers and a few stylish suggestions to help you navigate this dilemma.
Does Your Wallet Have To Match Your Bag?
A matching wallet and purse set is an easy way to coordinate your accessories and elevate your look. There are many ways to pair your purses and wallets—by size, shape, color, pattern, and material.
Match Your Purse & Wallet Based on Size
The first thing to consider is the size of your purse. If you have a small bag, like a crossbody purse, a slim credit card wallet, bifold, or trifold will fit inside while leaving enough room for your other essentials, like keys and a cellphone. Carrying a bigger bag, like a large leather satchel? You can opt for a full-size wallet or even a wristlet to store inside.
Pairing Your Purse & Wallet Based on Shape
The shape of your wallet can also play a role in how it pairs with your bag. If you have a slouchy bucket bag, a rectangular-shaped wallet will be easy to locate. A slim credit card wallet complements the shape of a round-edged shoulder bag. A petite, square-shaped wallet would tuck nicely into the corner of your clutch. A circular coin purse can be clipped to your totes and carryalls, adding structural interest to your already gorgeous Brahmin bag.
Matching Purse & Wallet Colors & Patterns
Matching purses and wallets through color and pattern is one of the easiest ways to coordinate your set. You can opt for an exact color and pattern match between your wallet and handbag, or you can choose complementary colors. Try a red bifold inside a green tote, a purple wallet inside a yellow-toned satchel, or a purse/wallet combination in orange and blue. Of course, any color wallet can be stored inside a neutral-colored designer leather backpack.
Pairing Purse & Wallet Materials
Another way to match purses and wallets is through their construction materials. Brahmin’s designer leather handbags and accessory collections are made from 100% genuine leather, making them easy to pair. You can choose from croc-embossed leather, smooth leather, or textured Italian straw trimmed with leather, just to name a few.
How To Care For Your Matching Purses And Wallets
The key to keeping your purses and wallets looking new is proper care, including knowing how to store your leather handbags. Make sure to empty them regularly to help maintain their original shape. Regularly restore your purses and wallets to like-new condition with Brahmin’s leather conditioner. It helps prevent weather and sun damage. You can use the conditioner once a month to protect, moisturize, and clean your wallet and purses.
Matching purses and wallets isn’t complicated. There are so many ways to coordinate them, and you can mix and match any of the suggestions above to find the perfect wallet for your handbag. Brahmin offers an extensive collection of accessories in a variety of colors, shapes, and materials, ensuring your wallet will always be in harmony with your Brahmin handbags and purses.
