Lime green companion wallet

What fits inside this 19x12 cm lime green wallet

The 19x12 cm footprint keeps the whole thing within the palm of one hand, which is really the point of a flat wallet: it slides down the side of a bag instead of taking up the middle of it. Nothing about the shape is bulky, and nothing has to be unfolded before you can reach the money.

Card slots on both sides

Slots line up on both inner panels and face each other once the wallet opens flat, so cards stay visible as a set rather than stacked out of sight. A folding panel sits over one of the rows and lifts out of the way when you need what is underneath.

Two zips that open separately

The zips run side by side along the top edge, and each one opens on its own. That is the difference between fishing around at a till and pulling a single zip. A vertical tab sits between them, edged in a dark trim that reads almost as a seam from a distance, and the two metal pulls in an aged brass tone give the piece its only warm note.

A woven cord at the corner

A fine braided cord in a natural shade hangs from one corner. Loop a finger through it and the wallet comes straight up out of a bag; keep it there while you pay and you have one less thing to balance.

A fan print on the inside

The inner flap is lined with a grey and white fan print, each fan finished with a small ochre dot at its base. Laid out in even rows, the pattern has an art deco feel to it, and it does something useful too: against the plain green panels, a dark card or a folded note is easy to pick out.

Wearing a lime green accessory

Lime green works as a punctuation mark rather than a base colour. It lifts a black bag, a cream tote or raw denim, and you spot it the moment it comes out. If you are weighing up shapes, look through other wallet shapes and sizes before you decide.

The matching coin purses and pouches follow the same colour thinking, for anyone who likes their small accessories to agree with each other.
