Christmas looms ever closer, what to buy him keeps plaguing your mind. You bombarded with adds and catalogues spill through your letter box.
There are not enough hours in the day for a busy housewife who also has to work 9 to 5 and the thought of traipsing through malls and down high streets with the kids in tow does not conjure any kind of motivation.
No standing in shops bigger than football fields trying to find a shop assistant, standing in ques with someone breathing impatiently down your neck. You can do your research in the comfort and security of your home.
And there you will find the inaccessible easily accessible, the range variety and quality are available without sacrificing quality
For decoration alone there are silk ties, ear rings, lapel badges, the odd pendant and of course cufflink. They all perform a particular function, but the wallet, apart from a little decoration is purely, a functional fashion accessory.
The "norm" for most men is a collection of two, maybe three wallets. Where as, with the more decorative accessories, as mentioned, a collection can be anything from one to hundreds.
The wallet was developed almost immediately after the introduction of paper currency to the West in the 1600s. (The first paper currency was introduced in the New World by the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1690.) Prior to the introduction of paper currency, purses (resembling simple drawstring leather pouches) were used for storing coins. Early wallets were made primarily of cow or horse leather and included a small pouch for printed calling cards.
The modern bi-fold wallet with multiple "card slots" achieved its uniform standard size in the early 1950s with the introduction of the first credit cards in 1951. Wallet design remained mostly unchanged throughout most of the late 20th century, while today wallet design has exploded into myriad shapes, designs, and colours from dozens of designers.
