For many people your average money wallet is more than enough for them. Some however may have so much “plastic” they don’t know what to do with it. This is where a credit card wallet comes in to its own. Keep everything organised, professional and tidy. Not one for wallets? This may still be of use to you! Read on.


Why bother with a credit card wallet when you have a normal cash wallet with card slots? Well, in my past experience most money wallets come with so few slots for cards that there just isn’t enough space in there for everything, cards are doubled up, you cant see what’s what and they end up tearing holes in your good wallet! With a credit card holder you can choose the cash wallet you want to buy and not have to worry about how much space there is inside for your ever expanding range of credit cards, store cards and loyalty point cards. Spotted that designer wallet you’ve wanted for years? Go for it, as long as it holds cash you’re good to go. Even better if it comes with a matching debit card wallet, which most quality items do!

Most of us wouldn’t carry our credit cards everywhere we go if we could avoid it, but checking the contents of your wallet every time you plan on leaving the house isn’t ideal. With a quality leather credit card wallet you keep them all in one place for the time you do need them and if you plan on carrying your cards with you at all times put the rest of your cards, driving license, loyalty cards etc in the sleek low profile credit card holder to stop your cash wallet getting bulked up.

Are you the type of person who never uses a wallet and always keeps their money loose in their pockets? Where are you going to keep your cards, your driving license? If they’re bouncing around your pockets, every time you reach in there to grab that mashed up wad of money you risk dropping your cards in the street or in a shop, perfect for someone looking for free money. Your new wallet keeps all your cards together safely. No need to check every pocket in your clothing to try and find one of the dozen cards that are scattered about your person.

If you’re a business man and you don’t carry any sort of wallet then what kind of impression does it give when you meet a potential business partner, go to a business lunch and go to pay your bill then end up with the contents of your pockets all over the floor. A high quality card holder gives a professional look. Not only can you keep your credit and debit cards in there you can have your business cards right there with you, kept nice and flat, no dog eared business card here!

If you think you don’t need somewhere to keep all the plastic cards we’re given in this day and age safe, then think again! These wallets are practical, professional, keep your cards tidy but most of all, are safe!

When it comes to buying yourself black leather handbags there are so many different options out there for you to choose from. There are an infinite range of sizes, all for different occasions, a small handbag for going out at night, when you only need to carry some money and make-up, or there are the large black leather handbags that seem to be all the rage right now. These bags appear to be far too big for anyone to justify using, personally I can’t see the point in using a bag that is almost the same size as me. If I had a bag that size I would just fill it up with junk that I might need through the day, but if I had a smaller bag I’d just do without it.

Size is not the only thing to think about, there are whole load of other options, like the type of handle you would like, do you want something that goes over your shoulder, or something to carry in your hand or on your arm? Do you need some extra little pockets on the inside to keep your phone, make-up or your purse? There are various ways for the bag to close over, like a zipper, popper buttons or a magnetic strap, theses seem like minor things, but some people do have their preferences and dislike all others.

There are also all the different physical styles of the bags. There are black leather handbags out there to suit every occasion, whether you are looking for a bag to take out with you at night, or something that you can use everyday to take to your work, there is something for everyone, but you need to find the one that is right for you.

Buying Black Leather Handbags

Before you head out to the shops to buy your new bag you need to work out what it is that you are looking for, if you don’t know exactly what you want before you go to the shops you will end up buying the first nice bag that you see, and it will not do everything that you need it to, so you will have to go out again and buy another bag. So work out what size you need, what extra features you want and when you will be using the bag.

You also want to make sure that you buy a good quality leather handbag, if you buy something that is of a decent quality then it is going to last you forever and you will never need to buy any other black leather handbags, though this doesn’t mean you won’t, we all know how our heart can get the better of us and we buy things we don’t need. Quality leather isn’t cheap though, so you will need to make sure you have got enough money to pay for, other you’ll have nothing to put in the bag after you buy it.

When it comes to buying black leather handbags there is a fair amount for you to take into consideration, so take your time and don’t rush out and buy the first thing you set your eyes on.

When it comes to buying designer handbags from places other than a regular store, a lot of women are really afraid of paying far too much money for a bag that could turn out to be a fake. Buying a fake designer handbag could really put a dampener on anyone’s day. To avoid buying a fake there are a few things that you should not do. First of all, never buy anything off of a street seller, even though you know buying from them is a bad idea, these people have got ways to convince you that its a great deal. The vast majority of the time anything that these people sell, while looking genuine, is going to be a rip off. If you do buy anything from them, by the time you notice there is something wrong with it, they will have moved on to a new location and can’t be found. Secondly, if you can avoid it, don’t pay with cash, use either Paypal or your credit card,, this way you have got something to fall back on if something goes wrong, as both of these methods offer you some sort of insurance against buying dubious goods.

I find that the best place to look for discount designer handbags is on eBay. There are two types of seller that use eBay that you will grow to love the more you shop for handbags on there. The first type of person is someone who has more money than sense, these people buy designer items on a whim then get rid of them. There are more of this type of person out there than you would believe, if we could get all of them onto eBay it would be perfect. These people can spend over $1000 on a brand new handbag then a few months later they are tired of it and sell it to people like us on eBay for only a few hundred dollars.

The second person that can offer you an excellent discount is someone who is in desperate need of some money, fast and will sell almost anything that they own at bargain prices, just so they get that money they need for their other purchase. Luxury items such as designer handbags and clothing, that are not desperately needed, are usually the first things to go. There will be instances where the person is selling off items that are brand new, with tags on and still in their original box full of tissue paper.

Another great thing about eBay is that it is really strict about not letting people sell off fake goods on their site. They have a program set up called VeRO (Verified Rights Owner Program) which allows designer companies and other owners of trademarks, patents etc to go through the listings and remove any items that could be in breach of their rights. This program really does reduce the risk that you will end up buying fake goods, its not 100% foolproof, but it is certainly cutting down the number of counterfeit goods on eBay and making the chances that you buy authentic designer handbags much greater.

Buying designer handbags doesn’t have to be extremely expensive, there are places out there where you can get great deals, eBay is only one of them. If you can visit outlet stores or places like TJ Maxx then you might be lucky enough to find some great deals there too.

Radley were founded in the UK in 1998, they are known for their lovely little Scottie dog logo. They now have their headquarters in London, England but as I have said they are starting to get into the US market, so im sure they will be expanding their business over to the States in the near future.

Radley bags are known for their big bold colors and interesting designs, they treat every bag as if it were a piece of art. Their bags are there to make a statement about the owner and also in bid to bring a bit of fun into everyones daily lives. They also pride themselves in being as unique as possible, they live by the motto “better to fail in originality than succeed in imitation” which says a lot about them.

Radley bags are all creative but without being over the top and ridiculous looking, they don’t make bags just to try and be wacky and out there, like a lot of fashion designers are trying to do these days, just so people notice them. Radley are not going to make bags just because they sell, or just because “fashion” decides something looks great (as we know most of the time fashion has it head buried in a bucket of sand, with no grip on reality), they only make bags that they feel passionate about and that “woman can fall in love with”. They also strive to make the best quality handbags they can while still maintaining affordability, all of their bags are hand-crafted using only the finest materials on offer.

How To Stop A Fake Radley Bag

Sadly, because of how popular the Radley handbag has become people are now starting to try and sell unwitting buyers fake bags. To avoid buying a fake there are some things for you to look out for. Before we talk about the signs on the bags, you can take a visit to the Radley site and have a look at their list of approved dealers, if you buy from these dealers you wont be getting a fake bag. If you are going to buy cheap Radley bags from somewhere else, a website, auction site or from a friend, for example, then there are some things that have been consistently wrong with the fakes. If you have a look at the little Scottie dog tag that should be on every bag, there should be no name written on it, if you see “Radley” written on it then its a fake. You should only see the Radley name on the cardboard tag on the outside of the bag. Also, every bag that Radley sells should have a leather care pack inside it, if it doesn’t have this pack and its a new bag, then the chances are that its an imitation.

Radley pride themselves on making affordable designer bags, though this doesn’t mean that they are particularly cheap, they are on a similar level to Coach Bags in the USA, their handbags usually sell for between $175 to $400, this isn’t too expensive when you consider that these are hand made, designer handbags, made using superior materials. It looks fairly decent to me.

To finish off I’ll state the Radley mission statement which sums it all up -

“To create exciting, unusual, high quality products that woman love and can afford to own.”

Back in 1941 the Coach label started out in a family owned leather workshop in Manhattan. The Coach brand might have become huge and greatly popular since then, but every single Coach bag is still made using the same craftsmanship as the leather goods from 1941. Today in the United States, Coach bags are one of the most popular designer brands, with over 400 store locations in North America alone and a successful online business that ships products all over the world, from mainland Europe and Asia. Coach take great pride in producing a wide range of quality goods for both men and women, these products include handbags, purses and wallets, business cases and luggage, as well as eye wear, gloves, perfumes and fine jewelry.

Coach Handbag Styles

You will find Coach bags and cases in a huge range of styles, colors and sizes to suit any occasion or fashion trend. Coach have a great number of lines available, these include: Madison (1960s pop art designs), Poppy (Retro/Trendy designs), Garnet (Simple, for any occasion) and Tribeca (Classic and clean designs). Coach also have a number of designer lines in a range of colors and styles. They offer the traditional colors such as black and brown as well as white and beige, along with that, they have every color of the rainbow, as well as metallic colors. Their bag styles include shoulder bags, briefcases, clutches, totes, satchels and more. Because there are so many styles some people find it hard to choose only one bag.

Every single piece that Coach make are made using only the highest quality materials, fabrics, leathers and accessories. Their fabrics are easy to clean, and are hard to ruin by staining. Even if you are a messy person and/or have kids their leather won’t be beaten by stains or marks. The materials used to make up the frames of their bags is not only eye catching, but extremely strong and will not break. These handbags are beautiful, study and reliable. Handbags and other accessories can say a lot about you as a person, you can match your bag to your personality.

Sadly not everyone will be able to afford high quality Coach bags like this, with its matching high price tags. In these cases shopping at Coach outlet stores, or at online stores can be very cost effective. They will sell Coach bags and other accessories that are from a previous season at prices 50% or more less. Regardless of your budget it is important that you take pride in how you appear. This is why a Coach bag or accessory is the perfect finishing touch to any sophisticated, classy look, regardless of whether you are going to work or going out with friends.

Most people don’t even think to buy themselves a new wallet, they keep the same one for years and through use they end up ruined and tatty. I say people, but I should limit this to just men, women are much more aware that their handbags and purses are getting in bad shape and replace them promptly, either that or they just enjoy buying themselves gifts.

New mens wallets or credit card holders are ideal gifts for your loved ones, be it your husband or partner, father, brother or even your son who’s moving up in the world, graduated from school and has a job, he’s going to need somewhere to keep all that money he’s making. Mens wallets are not going to be one of those gifts you give and it gets thrown in a drawer somewhere and never used. They really are usable, everyone should have a wallet to keep their money and cards safe and tidy.

If the person your buying for already has a nice quality wallet then you might consider a credit card wallet. It feels like everyday there’s a new piece of plastic that we’ve been told we need to carry around, be it credit cards, debit cards, your driving license, or your store, loyalty and membership cards. Before we know it, we have dozens of cards taking up our entire wallet, making it bulky and uncomfortable to keep in our pocket. If we want to carry all of these around in a tidy fashion then a debit card wallet comes in handy. Keeping everything safe and tidy and doing it in a stylish manor.

You don’t have to spend a small fortune on mens wallets, there are many great designer credit card wallets out there at reasonable prices. No matter how much or how little you have to spend there’s going to be a product there for you. Check out the shops online, they generally have a great selection, while being cheaper than traditional stores.

You always know that who ever you buy for is going to be delighted with their lovely new gift!

Most men just love leather goods. Most couldn’t articulate why. Maybe it’s just a guy thing, but this is a gift he’s guaranteed to love and will remind him daily of who gave it to him.

Mens wallets can be as varied as, well, men can be. When you begin checking out what’s available you’ll find a number of types, bi-fold, tri-fold, breast pocket, large travel and document holders or small sleek and very chic models.

Within these types there’s the availability of coin pockets, windowed ID pockets, pockets sized for credit cards, business cards, photos and pockets to separate different currency notes for the international traveler. These are just some of the features available with different types for different functions.

Material is a major consideration when choosing such a personal gift. High quality full grain leather is offered in most types in several different leathers. Calf skin is the most widely available, but bull hide, water buffalo, snake skin, crocodile, deer and elk leathers can make your gift truly unique.

In addition to the kind of leather you pick for your gift, there’s the color, the texture or finish of that leather and the workmanship, detailing to take a look at.

When you’re choosing a gift of fine leather goods, here are a few ideas which may refine and ease your selection.

For many men, a quality wallet is a very personal thing. They have it with them all day, every day. It holds pictures of girlfriends, wives and family. When they take it out, they’re doing business, spending money. Other people view it and hence it’s a personal reflection on them.

Some men will prefer the more classic or understated models. For others a dash of style may truly impress, perhaps a subtle snakeskin interior, or silk lined pockets, or a bold crocodile exterior.

Consider what type of mens clothing the wallet will be worn with. Cargo pants, for instance, could probably accommodate a slightly larger wallet.

Also keep in mind, you don’t necessarily have to match or replace what he’s carrying now. An ultra slim suit coat breast pocket credit card wallet could be a great gift for the businessman, or a small thin, front pocket type for a couple of credit cards, a few bills and business cards, can say organized and efficient.

A significant number of leather goods dealers will be happy to monogram your gift. Many will gift wrap and provide a card awaiting your presentation, or they’ll ship it directly for you.

Have fun with your selection, and know he’ll truly appreciate receiving the gift of a leather wallet.

Its not hard to find a wallet to carry anything you can think of, there are many speciality wallets on the market. The debit and credit card wallet is one of these speciality wallets. They are an excellent choice if you are on of the growing number of people that doesn’t carry cash around with them normally but do carry their debit and credit cards and their I.D.


In today’s world, protection of your I.D and charge cards is of huge concern. Identity theft is still rising, losing any of your cards or I.D and the wrong person finding them could turn into a serious matter. This disaster is the last thing anyone wants so it is incredibly important to keep your cards as safe as possible. While debit card wallets are not to guarantee that your details will be safe, owning one is an effective step. When you use a card holder wallet you are going to know exactly where all your important cards are located. Not only will you know where all your cards are, they are a great measure to make sure you are organised.

There are many ways for you card wallet to close over, one of the best options is to have a zip fastener, this will mean the cards have no chance of falling out when it is zipped closed. Usually though if you go for a zipper style they will be a little larger than the button up card wallets, and may cost a little more money, but they are well worth the extra cost for that piece of mind.


There are so many styles of debit card wallet on the market today that its hard to decide what you really need. This is more true for mens wallets which come in literally hundreds of designs. Debit card wallets are one of these styles, but if you carry a large number of credit and debit cards then this is the one for you.

Sadly pick pockets operate in almost all of our towns and cities, no matter where you stay you are at risk of someone stealing the possessions you worked hard to get. These people highlight the negatives to carrying a wallet on your person. As soon as they know where on your body its located it doesn’t take long for them to get a hold of it, and without you noticing. When they have it, they have everything, any money you are carrying, your credit or bank cards, even your Social or National Security card and driving license.

There are ways to minimize the risk of this happening though, such as having your debit card wallet attached to your person via a chain or lanyard. You might automatically think of those kids with their skateboards that have chains hanging out their trousers. Clearly for most people its not going to look like that, it would simply be a chain attached to your belt or belt loop on your trousers. This is going to certainly slow down any would be pickpocket. And if they grab at the chain you’re going to be aware of their presence and either stop them in time or identify them before they get away.

Those of us who rarely carry any cash on our person maybe best off here (if you can call it best off). True if someone does steal you credit card wallet and all its contents then its going to be a real pain to sort out and get everything back to normal. But a quick phone call to your card providers and your collection of credit cards become useless to who ever has a hold them and your mind is put somewhat, to ease.

Generally we go on holiday to get away from everything and relax, but this is when we may be most at risk from pick pockets and muggers. They will be on the look out for anyone who isn’t too sure about their surroundings and that person will become the number one target for them. Thankfully we have a little list of things you can do to lower the risk or damage caused.

• Before leaving for your holiday check through your wallet or purse and remove anything that isn’t going be needed on holiday, National or Social Security cards, and any extra high limit credit cards for example.
• Don’t keep anything valuable on your person that you aren’t using, if you have an expensive ring or necklace, leave it in your hotel safe.
• Make copies of your Driving License and Passport, keep them separate from the originals. If the originals get stolen at least you have something that lets the authorities know who you are.
• Don’t carry more money than you require for the day ahead. The less you have the less that gets stolen.

Another thing that you might want to consider before you leave is to invest in a money belt or a pouch that you can hang from your neck. These are hard for any would be criminals to notice and ever harder for them steal without you knowing and without causing a scene in the process. Some are big enough to store your passports and anything else you may need to carry. So everything is safe.

It might all seem like doom and gloom, yes there are people out there looking for easy money but there are ways for us to protect ourselves. Take care and think about how you carry your belongings.

The first option we are going to look at is the very basic method. The money clip. For many of use we carry all out cash notes in a money clip and our coins loose in our pockets. For some this is perfect. Maybe the individual doesn’t use credit cards and always buys with cash and they have managed to resist the ever popular trend of store and loyalty cards that we’re bombarded with in almost every shop we enter. Money clips are super simple and really low mass, if you don’t like having bulky items in your pockets and never use cards to pay then this might just be perfect for you.

Then we have the good old wallet. Good for keeping everything you carry in one place, cash (notes and coins) and any plastic that you carry. Ideal for those of that like to keep a certain amount of money on our person at all times. But also having the option of using a credit or debit card for those purchases that we haven’t planned on making. And unlike the money clip user we might have given in and accepted those store and loyalty cards, we might never use them but if we have a good sized wallet then when the time comes that we do use them they are there for us.

The final option that we’re going to have a quick look at is the credit card wallet, becoming evermore popular with working professionals. These are ideal for individuals who never carry cash on them. Maybe as a security precaution, at least of someone steals your cards its easy for you to phone up the card provider and cancel those cards before any damage can be done to your bank or credit accounts. Also with the ever increasing number of cards we are asked to carry most traditional wallets just don’t have the space to keep them all. A debit card wallet is relatively low mass too, there’s no cash in there bulking them up so these are perfect when you keep items in your pockets at all times, especially the pocket on the inside of your suit, no one will ever know its there.

As you can see there are loads of options for carrying your money around, you just need work out which option is perfect for you. Maybe there’s a solution not mentioned here, but there will be one for you somewhere.
