A wallet is a flat case or pouch that may be used to hold such small private items as paper currency, credit cards, and identity files (driving force’s license, identification card, membership card, and so on.), photos, transit pass, business playing cards and other paper or laminated playing cards. Wallets are typically manufactured from leather-based or fabric, and they’re generally pocket-sized and foldable.

Wallets can also have characteristics which include cash clips; a coin purse; a chain fastener, strap, or rein; or a zip. Specialised wallets are designed for holding passports, wearable id cards, and checkbooks to offer some examples. A few unusual wallets are worn on the wrist or shoe. Further to their practical function, wallets may be used as a style accessory, or to illustrate the style, wealth, or fame of the proprietor.
