I've been using a long wallet when carrying larger bags to/from work and want to have some bills on-hand for lunch, social outings, etc, but lately have been thinking it would be nice to have a smaller, compact wallet when I downsize to a smaller bag, when space is at a much higher premium.
It needs to have card slots (minimum 2-3, more is okay), and preferably doesn't have a buckle that wraps around the outside (i.e. should have a slim/smooth outer profile to avoid "catching" on things), though that's not a deal-breaker. Some kind of closure preferred - could be zip, button/snap, etc - so it can't flop open on its own. A slip pocket for bills/receipts/papers is probably necessary/helpful. Not sure if I want to have an interior zip pocket - for ladies who have that, what do you use it for and do you find it useful?
I'm not loyal to a specific brand (though my full-size wallet is a black Celine zip wallet with gold hardware that I purchased on my first trip to Italy - love it!), so I'd just like to hear what works for others as I start browsing and looking around. I have small bags by Prada, Celine, and Coach, and would love to branch out and try out some other brands.
No price point for now, as I'm purely browsing for the moment and I'd like to enjoy the experience of going in store and browsing. I would appreciate any suggestions/thoughts that the more knowledgeable members here might have!

I didn't think to look in a men's collection, though, so this is something I'll keep in mind as I continue browsing.
That gorgeous pop of color inside is exactly something that would bring me a little bit of joy during the day when using it.
