A leather wallet is the most common accessory men carry with them these days.
A lot has changed recently with more and more people prefering to pay contactless. We no longer need bulky wallets stuffed with banknotes and so people are de-cluttering their wallets and going for a more slimline option that can slip into the side pockets of their pants or trousers.
But are money clip wallets really better than traditional wallets? What are their advantages? Which one is best for you?
It’s time to dig deeper into this “money clip vs wallet” thing and get some answers.
What is a leather money clip wallet?
A leather money clip wallet is a bifold compact card holder wallet with a high-quality stainless-steel silver money clip integrated on the inside of the spine. This spring-loaded clip pulls down so you can insert your cash under the clip and then springs back into place to hold your money securely.
What is the difference between a bi-fold wallet and a money clip wallet?
A bi-fold wallet (also called a billfold wallet) is the conventional men’s wallet with a separate compartment for banknotes. It’s typically much bulkier than money clip wallets.
A money clip wallet is smaller and more compact than a bi fold, and features an external wallet money clip.
What are the advantages of a money clip wallet?
A wallet with money clip has a slim profile and is compact and discreet. As there is not a separate section for banknotes, this reduces the bulk of a traditional wallet for a more minimalist sleek accessory that discreetly slips into your jacket or trouser pocket without distorting the overall silhouette. Nobody will ever notice you are actually carrying a wallet. Unlike wallets and purses, you don’t have to deal with zippers, interior pockets, dividers, or compartments. Taking out cash is as simple as unclipping the money. If you are always on a rush, clips are a must-have.

Store cards can be stored on your mobile phone and receipts can be sent via email. A few banknotes and a couple of credit cards are all you need. Simply insert your banknotes under the metal money clip in the spine and add credit cards in the slots. The clip reduces the bulk of the wallet so it stays discreet in your pocket.
