Carry all the essentials in this streamlined wallet/purse in two sizes.

Each purse features a flap that folds over and closes easily with hidden magnetic snaps.

Multiple pockets inside and out make organization easy and are sized to carry everything from money and credit cards to a phone or checkbook.

A slip pocket on the exterior back is perfect for quick access to a phone, keys, shopping list, or other small items.

Inside are several additional pockets:
A small zippered pocket for coins, makeup, or other small items,
A larger zippered pocket for currency or other larger items you want to keep safe and secure, and 
An even larger slip pocket which is perfect for a phone or checkbook!

Hidden between the interior zippered pockets and the slip pocket is another small compartment — it's a good spot for a shopping list or keys!

And beyond the slip pocket is another hidden pocket unit with slots to hold credit cards, room keys, loyalty cards, cash, and more.

Use the adjustable, detachable strap to carry the purse over the shoulder, crossbody, or around the waist. Or detach the strap and carry it as a clutch.
