HARD of SOFT -- Which One Do You Prefer?





I have been noticing that now-a-days the “IN” thing is the hardcover wallets, but the question still remains, Hard or Soft?

Remember the good old days when we used to carry the wallets that had a three part fold. There were the plastic wallets that mom used to give you when you were two (2) to teach you some sort of responsibility with the change we used to ask for after a purchase. How about the Velcro wallets that always seemed to work when we were in elementary and grade school. As we reached maturity, we would get a vinyl wallet to keep our lunch money or our “I am going to the mall with my friends after school” money. Oh oh and let us not forget the infamous wallet that we received around the holidays, now you knew you were grown when you received a true LEATHER wallet. Those were the days.

If you like the old leather-style wallets you will probably have to visit a vintage boutique or even eBay, because the only types of wallets you will find now are what I call the high-end wallets, i.e. HARDCOVER wallets that are everywhere. You will find them in FOREVER 21, XXI (the upscale version of Forever 21), Macy’s, Nordstrom’s (they have the really eclectic ones with the vintage and stand-offish styles), and BeBe, just to name a few.

If you had your choice today which wallet would you prefer, HARD or SOFT? Personally, I like the new HARD ones, they are easier to find amongst all of my fashion week stuff….lol.

Always Fashionable,
