Pink Wallets: Something For Every Price Range

December 12th, 2009 by Sarrah Green | 2 Comments | Filed in Articles

For men, the color or style of the wallet holding your money probably doesn’t matter all that much. But for women, a pink wallet can be just the right fit. If you (or someone you are shopping for) enjoys having stylish and personalized accessories that express individual taste, a pink wallet can be just the right thing to carry money, cards, and a checkbook.

Some pink wallets are quite pricy, as much as $450 for some high end designer names. Some are as little as $10, or even less for toy play wallets for children. Then there are many pink wallets whose price tags fall somewhere in the middle – which is preferable for most people. Let’s look at what to expect from a wallet in each price range.

High End: Pink Gucci Wallets And More

Some of the highest priced pink wallets are by the companies whose names you would expect to see at the top of the price rank: Gucci and Coach are the highest. Also above $100 you’ll find wallets bearing labels like Kate Spade, Salvatore Ferragamo Sartoria, Juicy, Bvlgari, and the like.

These generally are very highly designed, with the day’s most in demand detailing and design considerations. They are made of high quality materials (often leather, or some other animal skin, with gold or other fine metals for details). And of course, the name tag itself has much to do with these pink wallets’ price tags.

Budget End: Target, Wal-Mart, Non-Brand Names

There are lots of pink wallets whose price tags fall between $10 and $20. Most of these do not have recognizable brand names, aside from those specifically manufactured for the big box stores (for example, Target carries a pink Mossimo wallet). Some of these are very low quality materials, but some are quite decent for the price. It just depends on what you are looking for.

In The Middle

Then there are recognizable names whose prices fall somewhere in between, such as $40-$80. Royce Leather, Lodis, Piel Leather, Clava, Kate Spade, and Guess all have pink wallets in this range. This is a good place to get a really good quality pink wallet that will last you several years and is quite stylish, but is more reasonably priced.

Pink Wallets: A Great Gift Idea

November 12th, 2009 by Sarrah Green | 2 Comments | Filed in Articles

A pink wallet can be a very good gift idea for someone special in your life. Certainly, this is not the best gift for everyone, but for some people it is more than perfect. Here is a run down of some people who would be ideal gift recipients of the pink wallet. And then, just for fun, we’ll remind you of a few people who may not be so appreciative.

Top Pink Wallet Gift Recipients

  1. The Fashionista. This is probably the number one gift recipient for a pink wallet. This is a woman in her 20s, 30s, or 40s (or older, if she’s particularly fun and stylish). She appreciates color, dazzle, and fun, both in her wardrobe and in her accessories. And of course she likes the color pink. For the girly girl who’s grown up, a pink wallet is a fun piece of flair that goes with everything and doesn’t shy away from the spotlight.
  2. The Teenage Girls’ Girl. Pink is, of course, a color we strongly associate with the feminine. Teenage girls and pre-teen girls are at an age where they need a wallet for the first time. They don’t want a “mom-ish” wallet, so a fresh shade of pink in the latest style is a great way to give them an organizing tool that they’ll love to use and won’t be embarrassed about.
  3. The Dress-Up Kid. Young kids love imitating their parents, so a fun kid-styled pink wallet is a great gift for a girl who likes to play dress-up, or who fancies herself a “grownup” with a fun pink purse to tote everywhere. Pink wallets come in plenty of kid-specific styles, including cartoon characters and velcro enclosures for easy use.

Pink Wallet Not-So-Ideal Recipients

Just because you love a pink wallet, doesn’t mean they’re a good fit for everyone. In case you have a history of giving poor gifts, use this obvious-guide as a way to check yourself and make sure you’re not giving a white elephant gift at a not-white-elephant party.

  1. Manly men.
  2. People who hate pink.
  3. People who hate wallets.

Simple, yet so true. Pink wallets are fun. Just make sure you share them with people who appreciate their beauty, and their hues.

Pink Wallet: How To Pick The Perfect One For You

October 12th, 2009 by Sarrah Green | 1 Comment | Filed in Articles

Choosing a pink wallet is a lot more than just deciding that pink is the color for you. After all, pink wallets come in all different shapes and sizes, with different pockets, flaps, and enclosures. They come in all shades of pink, in many different styles, and of course in a considerably diverse range of prices.

So how to pick the one that’s right for you? Here’s an overview of some of your choices in each category listed above.  When you know what your choices are, it’s easier to decide which appeal more to you.

  • Shape. Like other wallets, pink wallets come in a few different general shapes. You can find tri-fold wallets, checkbook-sized wallets, and even small card-holder or money-clip sized wallets.
  • Size. The shape and layout of the wallet will certainly impact its size. But also how many card/photo filler pages, and how many zippered compartments, you have will make a difference.
  • Enclosure. Do you want your pink wallet to close with a zipper, or a snap? Perhaps both? Should it fold over itself to hide the main enclosure, or do you want easy access with just one step to get it open, which would have the main enclosure exposed.
  • Shade. This is one of the funnest decisions to make. From hot neon pink to very light tinted pink, and anywhere in between (including baby doll pink, bubblegum pink, and plain old solid pink), there are as many shades of pink wallet as there are shades imaginable.
  • Style. Rhinestones or suede? If you’re buying this pink wallet for a child, then style ranges from one cartoon character to another. But even for adult wallets, the choices are considerable. Glossy leather, fake leather, plastics, natural fibers, and even alligator skin (faux in most cases, and for most people’s tastes) are all options.
  • Price. As in most purchases, there are a lot of moderately priced pink wallets that are plenty stylish and of very reliable (and reputable) quality. There are a few on the cheap end if you really don’t care how well it’s made, and a few on the pricy end if the big names (think Coach and Gucci) are what you’re really after. But for most people, the $30-$60 is more than sufficient.

Think Pink: Wallets Are The Hot New Accessory

September 4th, 2009 by Sarrah Green | Comments Off | Filed in Articles

You might think that the style and color of your purse is what makes or breaks the fashion success of this must-have handbag. But wallets are on the rise. Pull a drab “mommish” wallet from your cute little purse, and the appeal of the purse comes to a driving halt. But whip out a cute pink wallet and you are good to go.

Pink wallets are great. They are, of course, quite practical. Wallets are an easy way to store your cash, I.D., and even your phone (if the wallet has enough room and the phone’s not too bulky). But they’re also a great opportunity to really make a fashion statement.

There are plenty of really trend-conscious pink wallets out there to choose from. A few of the top choices include:

  • Guess: Celeste Pink tri-fold wallet. Functional as a wallet but stylish enough to take as a clutch, this 4×6 hot pink faux-reptile pattern tri-fold pink wallet is extra fashionable and has a great bold color. It usually sells for between $25-$35.
  • Fossil: Popstitch Trifold, in pink. This pink Fossil wallet plays it safer, but goes with everything and will never be out of style. Solid, simple, and sleek, it features smooth straight lines and a really clean look. It’ll coordinate with even the most detailed purse, and is easily matched to plenty of different styles. Usually retails for $30-$40.
  • Royce Leather: Carnation pink wallet / card holder. This multi-purpose, ever-so-light-pink wallet also works as a business card case or even passport and international currency wallet. Made of smooth, supple soft grain natural cowhide, this also matches any number of purses or handbags. Retails for $20-$30.
  • Coach: Coach has so many (different) pink wallets that it’s hard to choose a top model. From leather to canvas, wristlet wallets to sleek clutches, there are as many Coach styles as you can imagine- and all are fabulous. From $50 to almost $500, Coach is the pink wallet designer girls dream of, so even if those top styles aren’t in your budget, go used (or go small) and you can still be in on the pink wallet party without missing a beat.

The Multi-Functional Merits Of A Pink Wallet

August 22nd, 2009 by Sarrah Green | Comments Off | Filed in Articles

You might not think that something like a wallet is “multi-functional” enough to be worth writing about. But if you care anything about attention to detail, it doesn’t take long to see that a pink wallet actually has a lot going for it.

Style. Obviously, if you’re buying anything in the color pink, you have a bold sense of style, or you have a young daughter. Since we’re talking pink wallets here, not tote bags, let’s assume that the audience is primarily women between 20 and 60. Pink wallets actually appeal to this wide age of women because they come in so many different styles. From young and funky to sleek and sophisticated, there really is a pink wallet to match virtually any personal style you can imagine.

Coordination. Here’s where style expands. Pink wallets can definitely be designed to draw attention to themselves all alone. But they also work beautifully in coordination with a matching purse or handbag. Have a simple pink bag? Get a patterned pink wallet. Have a patterned pink bag? Get a simple pink wallet. Coordination is key, and the last thing you want is to pull a dumpy brown wallet out of your designer purse and ruin the ensemble. It’s okay to be ‘matchy matchy.’ In fact, it’s a good thing.

The stand-alone. Sure, most of the time you’ll keep your pink wallet in your purse. But what about those times you want to travel light? What if you’re going out for an elegant dinner and you don’t want to have to set your purse on the floor, or hang it on your chair? The good news is that some of the hottest pink wallets can easily double as clutches or small handbags. They’re designed to fit into a purse, but also to stand on their own. Most are stylish enough, easy to hold, and designed to look great and protect your possessions without the need for a bulky purse.

Why wait? Clearly there’s more to pink wallets than you might think. In fact, the only reason not to own one is if you don’t like the color pink. But for the fashionista you are at heart (or for the fashionista on your gift shopping list), pink wallets are ready to shine.
