Men's leather money clips: types and tips for choosing

The money clip is a compact alternative to the classic men's wallet or purse. Anyone can replace a wallet with such an accessory. Its affordable price and wide selection will attract the attention of any man. Such a substitution can be extremely beneficial.

This accessory has a number of features and advantages over its usual counterpart. The clip fits easily into any pocket or bag. In addition to the compactness of the clamp, it is worth noting its spaciousness. Despite its small size, the clip can hold up to 20 bills and up to 10 plastic cards. Of course, it all depends on the size and model, but this accessory should not be underestimated. It is also worth noting the durability of the accessory, especially if it is of high quality.

Modern manufacturers and designers offer a wide variety of clamp models: from textile to branded handmade. The money clip has one main function - keeping bills in one place. In fact, this accessory is a leather frame slightly larger than a bill, folded in half. Money is invested inside, does not wrinkle and is not lost.

Unlike a wallet or purse, a money clip does not imply a lock, its functions are performed by a magnet. Magnetic accessories keep money and cards safe. The classic model is a leather magnetic male clip. It does not have to be made of genuine leather, it can be eco-leather. It all depends on the needs and requirements for the quality of the product. Nevertheless, it is leather that is the most successful material for making clips. This is due to its moisture resistance and wear resistance.

The leather can be patent, classic smooth, imitation of python or crocodile leather. Modern designers suggest adding functional details to the classic clip and compartments for plastic cards. Models can be designed for both 10 and 20 bills.

Expensive branded clips made of genuine leather are offered by many world brands:

• Emporio Armani;
• Kenzo;
• Michael Kors;
• Trussardi;
• Vivienne Westwood Man;
• Hugo and others.

An even more simplified clamping option is small "paper clip" for banknotes... It is a metal frame that holds the money together. Such a frame can be not just metal, but upholstered in leather. Unlike metal, leather won't scratch the paper, which is definitely an advantage. In terms of its compactness, this option also benefits: these models are even smaller. However, its disadvantages are more significant - there are no additional compartments for plastic cards and coins.

Of course, for every man, the choice of color is a rather difficult question. Men are extremely scrupulous in choosing tones, including accessories, and rightly so. The color should correspond to the status, position, personal preferences, lifestyle.

Classic colors for wallets and clips are brown, navy, and certainly black. Choosing one of these colors will accurately reflect the status of the owner. Also, these colors can be considered the most versatile: dark skin goes well with any textures and colors.

but these calm colors are not suitable for everyone... The clamp is a universal thing suitable for people from completely different fields. Sports and casual bill clips also exist. Such models can be made in absolutely any color scheme: from beige to acid green.

For the most successful choice, you should pay attention to a number of criteria.

• Quality. Study the product carefully: its seams, fittings, leather quality. A poor quality product is unlikely to last long. Even if the material is eco-leather, the product must be well-sewn and have high-quality fittings.

• Compactness. The main reason for replacing a wallet or purse with a clip is the desire to keep money in a more compact, convenient way. Pay attention to the thickness of the product, especially if there are no additional compartments for coins or cards.

• Style. You shouldn't get the classic black clip if the man adheres to a sporty style and bright colors in his clothes. The clip complements and emphasizes the image of the man. If he wants to emphasize his high status, you should pay attention to models with fittings made of precious metals (silver, gold, platinum), as well as products made of ostrich or crocodile leather.

• Price. A high-quality branded item will certainly have a high cost, but you shouldn't overpay for eco-leather. Also, handicrafts will be more expensive than other models. They are definitely worth the money. The cost of a product depends not only on the manufacturing method, but also on the metal of the fittings, the quality of the leather and the brand. Branded models do not justify their price, since in fact this is the value of the brand, and not the product itself.

• Functionality. The clip can be not just a money holder, but also a business card holder and a coin purse. Models with these features are extremely popular. In fact, in this case, the money holder becomes a mini-wallet, which is convenient and easy to carry even in your pocket.
