Different types of Men’s Wallets Based on Personality

Wallets - More than just a mundane object.

A seemingly inconsequential little object that sits in our pockets and our bags most of the time. Yet they form an intimate part of our identity. Personally, carrying a wallet gives us a feeling of independence, security, and confidence. Socially it is a silent statement that you made it in the world, defining your character and identity among the people you interact with. 

 

 

Stories by a Wallet

A Man’s Wallet tells many tales, the cluttered cash, old receipts, handwritten notes, or maybe a photograph or two tucked into the deep folds of our micro world. The type of a wallet, its size, material, design, color, finish, and quality give an indication to the world, of the kind of person we are by the way carry, maintain, and organize our currencies in them.

As psychologists put it, a subconscious projection of our minds is reflected in the most mundane aspects of our lives, and a wallet, as ordinary as it might seem, is one of them.
