Wallet or purse? Why both are important – but not the same

Wallet, purse, or billfold? Three terms, one purpose—but not the same meaning. In an increasingly modern product world, it's worth taking a look at the differences. And why a wallet is more than just a new word for the old purse.

The terms in comparison

What is the difference between purse, wallet and purse:

Wallet : The classic term. Often associated with leather, coin compartments, and plenty of contents.

Wallet : A little more neutral, but still traditional.

Wallet : The modern term, international, minimalist, usually without a coin compartment.

The requirements have changed

Modern wallets like the REAF wallet offer RFID protection , fit in any pocket, and deliberately avoid unnecessary features. No rubber bands, no plastic, no unnecessary mechanisms. This isn't a purse – it's a statement.

What you should consider when choosing

Whether you call your product a "wallet" or a "purse" doesn't matter. What matters is that it fits your everyday life: slim, secure, and durable.

Conclusion:

The term "wallet" represents a new way of thinking: clear, functional, and high-quality. This is exactly what the REAF wallet embodies.
