Purple-toned wallet with metal clasps Sweet & Candy

What the printed flap actually shows

The illustration fills the rounded flap from edge to edge. Behind the girl, a blue railing runs across the width; above her, clusters of wisteria hang down; at ground level, small yellow flowers line the fence, and a single orange butterfly crosses the scene. Pale handwriting fills the gaps in the background. Purple carries the whole thing, from very light mauve through to plum, with dusky pink along the base and grey down the sides. Turn it over and the mood changes: the back flap is plain grey, unprinted, with a small metal brand plate in the middle.

A purple coin purse with a bronze ball clasp

Two bronze balls sit on a metal frame at the top. Pull them apart, push them back, and the flap snaps shut and holds. Because the frame swings the whole mouth open, coins stay visible instead of being fished for. At 13 x 9 x 3.5 cm it sits in one palm and lies flat in a bag rather than bulking it out. A stitched brand tab runs down one side.

Coins, a couple of cards, and not much else

It holds change and two or three cards, and sits beside a phone in a small crossbody bag. Against a dark or ecru bag the mauves read clearly; against a busy print they get lost. Anyone weighing up one closure against another will find the rest of the range under coin purses with clasp frames and zips.

Notes and cards in the same place call for a different shape altogether, which is where the wallets with gussets and card slots come in, sized and divided for exactly that.

The print takes a dry cloth; the clasp takes a light hand

A dry cloth over the print is enough, and damp and repeated rubbing dull it far faster than ordinary use ever will. As for the clasp, no force is needed: the spring in the frame is what holds everything closed, and it tires if the flap gets tugged open by the fabric instead of by the two balls.
