Finding Bargains on Coach Wallets

The most obvious place to buy Coach wallets is at Coach's website. Current prices for men's wallets range from $88 for a Water Buffalo Trifold wallet to $148 for a Heritage Stripe Double Billfold. Current prices for women's wallets range from $42 for Mini Skinnys to $248 for Bleecker Leather Checkbook wallets.

Looking for bargains is difficult since there are so many replicas being sold. You may be able to spot a fake, but it's not easy. If you really want to guarantee an authentic coach wallet, you'll have to shop where Coach recommends. The best place for a deal may be at one of Coach's outlet stores. This website has a good discussion of the Coach outlet stores and how these are the only place where Coach allows discounts. Here's a list of Coach outlet locations. Florida seems to have the most outlets.

Unique Wallet Accessories

In this previous post I discussed some stylish things to keep in your wallet. A commenter in that post pointed me to this webpage which has several interesting wallet accessories. All can fit in your wallet like a credit card. Some of my favorites include a wallet bottle opener, a wallet comb and a wallet key fob. Some of the bizarre ones include a wallet morse code mirror and a wallet fish and chip tool. Perhaps if you're a McGyver type, you might find these useful.

Artistic and eco friendly db clay wallets

If you want to get away from leather and want something animal free, Tope wallets may be for you. db clay offers wallets made out of Tope, a synthetic fabric similar (in texture) to a vinyl canvas. It's free of PVC free, chlorine chemical free and animal free. Yet it's durable and water resistant.

I first reported on db clay in this 2006 post when their wallets were made out of gaffer tape. They're calling their Tope wallets version 3. So I guess the gaffer ones were version 2, and their original duct tape wallets were version 1.

Another aspect of the db clay wallets making them unique is their artistic designs. The picture that I include here is one of my favorite designs.

If you want a free db clay wallet, Lifehack.org is giving away one a week through January 2008.

Why use a money clip rather than a wallet

This article has some good reasons. The main reason I can see is that they're sleek, streamlined and hip. But if you want the look of an actor or corporate executive, you'll probably want one of these sterling silver or 14 karat gold money clips.
