Which wallet do you prefer? A small compact size or a larger continental size?

I am in a polling mood now. Looking at some new summer eye candy and wanted to see some input.

I literally just took all my arcs and such our of my continental wallet and mashed them together in a smaller card holder. I have a small wallet for every day use too. Yes I use 2 wallets. Lol.

How about you?

I have been using a continental 3/4 zip-around wallet with wrist strap, and love it. However, I just went to a slightly smaller bag for spring, and while the wallet fits just fine, I think a more compact style would work better, so I've just ordered a compact French Wallet, and I'm really looking forward to getting it.

I've included a photo of what I've been carrying (black studded), and what I'll be getting (Peltro, aka silver)...

I prefer a travel style wallet that opens up like a book and has loads of card slots, but no zipper.

I use one full size long wallet daily. It has 16 CC slots, several long bill/ paper slots and a full length zip compartment. I'd love to carry a smaller bag but I have learnt I only like the idea of a smaller bag. In reality bigger size bags fit me better now. Maybe 5-10years later I'll downsize after dd grows up and I have stop being always ready for the unforeseeable

Oh India. Those are stunning pieces. BV I assume knowing how much you love them. Thanks for the eye candy!

Ohh 16 slots. Might I ask which one you are using?

I would say neither as I don't like zip wallets, but big ones with a snap closure are good.

I'm one of the wristlet people. I feel more secure not carrying all the credit cards, so I just bring the store card or rewards card when I go to the actual store. All I need are 2 credit cards, DL and insurance card. And my phone, so if I am carrying a bigger bag, I use the phone wristlet with the card slots.

Sorry. But curious. What exactly is the definition of a French Purse? How does that differ from a continental or reg wallet?

I'm using this Tod's wallet

Sorry for the messy wallet interior pic I haven't clear my receipts lol. I have another card holder that I'm using now so I still have some empty CC slot in the wallet

Large wallets!

I don't know why I carry so much, but I do. When I got the tri fold wallet, I made sure it had at least 9 card slots. Card slots are so nifty.

I like big bags and big ziparound wallets, hehe. Up until last October I used a small wallet. The clasp had been broken for ages and so I replaced it with a new wallet. I didn't realize how much more convenient it would be with a larger wallet! Only downside is that it won't fit inside the few small bags that I do own...

Big, continental style although I have a smaller, compact "book" style that I'm still trying to get used to. I like how easily accessible cards are in the continental style.

It all depends on what day and where I will be going and doing and how big my bag will be. I rotate between a long zippy wallet (LV) and a compact zip up (Hermes).
