I Need A New Wallet







Why are all these flat wallets so popular these days? How do they actually work? When I first saw them come out last year or something, I thought they were absolutely ridiculous.

But now that I think about it, it's quite a good idea.

I mean, look at my poor bulging wallet:



It's so full that even the seam has broken.



This wallet was unwanted by Stephanie, so I took it and have been using it since Grade 12, which is 3 years ago. It has accompanied most of my university life for the past 3 years, even though it has been most active this year, since I never needed my wallet anywhere in the first 2 years of university..

Now I'm quite sick of carrying such a bulging wallet around when I go grocery shopping, never really knowing when it's going to fully break and die on me.. I think the poor thing has suffered cos I stuff so many cards, receipts and random stuff inside. Don't think it's meant to hold so much..

Anyway, back to the flat wallets. I think it seems like what I want, since I am looking towards the flat direction. I am just not exactly sure how the clasp/zip works, and how user-friendly it is. But I really like the flat idea, and a nice design would make it perfect.

These tend to be a bit pricey, from what I am observing from the net. Let's see if it is worth investing in a cheaper version of it.. Will look into changing wallet soon! =D

But how do the flat wallets stay so flat? Where's the magic? I need to do more research and hands-on experience.
