I know a few people on here have had parties and a couple people sell for them. I'm trying to figure out which wallet I want to get! My consultant only had the Hard Case Wallet which I know I don't want. I'm trying to decide between the Shired Front Wallet, Coin Purse Waller and the Organizing Wallet. What I like about my wallet right now is that it has "bill spots" that I can put my receipts in. It has two - one for my personal receipts and one for PC receipts. Does anyone have either of these wallets that they could take a picture for me or at last describe the inside better (I really wish their catalog showed some of the products better!). I like that the Organizing Wallet holds a check book but that not a necessity.
 
After looking at most of the styles of wallets, I decided to just get the Soft Wallet. The Coin Purse Wallet was my next choice. But I decided the Soft Wallet would be good because then I could also use it in my Sling Bag when I want to use that as my purse. The Soft Wallet has the most card slots, so that's another reason why I wanted it. Between health & dental insurance cards, personal and business bank cards, Costco/credit card for when I buy gas, PC credit card, day to day spending (ING) card, Library card, AAA, and a couple others.....I need a lot of slots. :DBut that Coin Purse Wallet sure is cute--I really was torn. But it is kind of big and that's what I'm trying to get away from.
 
I also have the Soft Wallet. Each side when you open it has several card slots. (I have way too many in mine- thankfully not all credit cards. ;)). Behind those, are two sections that I use to either put cash or receipts....two on each side that is. So you could easily have one section for PC, one for Personal, one for cash, etc. It holds alot. Mine gets pretty fat when I haven't taken receipts out in a while. And like Amanda, mine easily fits into my Sling Bag.Having said that...wow, the colors they have right now for spring. hard to look through the catalog. :)
 
"Off topic" , I use a zippered coin purse for all my credit cards and insurance cards. It is much easier than taking out my wallet and trying to find the right card. This is so much easier because it is like going thru a file drawer and finding the correct card.
 
I like the organizing wallet because it has a strap and can be carried as a purse for travel. But the soft wallet would be my 2nd choice, lots of slots for cards and room for other stuff too.I've decided the Fold and Go organizer is a must have for my real job ... and I want to put "Ready Writer" on it.
 
I don't know the name of it, but I got their new wallet. I LOVE it!! I like to keep my bills flat and it is a long wallet so I can do that, but it still has lots of storage space and 2 options for where to put my change. I can tuck it in my purse or just carry it as a clutch if I want to. I don't like the design it comes in though; I think you only have a choice between blue jean and crazy pastel design. I got the crazy pastel. LOL!
 
I have the organizing wallet. There are two zippered compartments. One side has a window for you license and several card slots above that. There's also a pocket underneath all of this. Directly opposite that is the pace for the checkbook. The other zipper compartment is separated by a zippered coin pouch, with space on either side for paper currency or receipts. etc. It holds a lot of stuff. Another girl at work bought one after she saw mine because it holds so much more than the other wallets. Another girl I work with sells for 31, so I have seen most of them.
 
Does anyone on here sell 31 bags? I'm interested in a catalog. :)
 
Got a red leather Pampered Chef organizing wallet for Spree for 53. I did not use it for a long time until I read your posts....now I love it...slots on one side with a snap to hold cards in, two long areas for money/receipts, one zippered long area in the middle, backside has a window for drivers license and other cards not so valuable!

Not into crazy design bags...all my bags are Pampered Chef LOL...well...I do have one Coach bag that I break out for special occasions. I am excited over finally getting my Dots tote! WooHoo!

Hard to break away from stuff that is not Pampered Chef! I would like to see more PC stuff come out too. I sure wish they would contract other vendors other than Merrill.....one can only wish.....then we would not look elsewhere for bags!

My very good friend just started with thirty-one. I can have her send you a catalog if you're interested. =)

I just ordered the coin purse wallet from her, but haven't gotten it yet. I'll let you all know how I like it when it arrives.

You can see their catalog online. I actually check out the last few pages, it shows their products better than the pictures through out the catalog.
 
Are you sure the word gifts is in the website? My consultants website is www dot mythirtyone dot com slash jessieirwin ,, no gifts in the website.

And I have a party pending right now ... today, actually ... should you want to order from it. :blushing:
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What factors should I consider when choosing a wallet?

When choosing a wallet, consider factors such as size, material, organization, security features, and style. Think about how much space you need for cards, cash, and coins, as well as whether you prefer a minimalist design or a more traditional wallet. Additionally, consider the durability of the material and if it fits your personal style.

Should I choose a bifold or trifold wallet?

The choice between a bifold and trifold wallet depends on your personal preference and how much you carry. Bifold wallets are generally slimmer and easier to fit in pockets, while trifold wallets offer more organization and storage options. If you carry a lot of cards and cash, a trifold might be more suitable.

What materials are best for wallets?

Common materials for wallets include leather, synthetic fabrics, and canvas. Leather is durable and often looks better with age, while synthetic materials can be more affordable and come in various colors and designs. Canvas wallets are lightweight and often more casual. Choose a material that aligns with your lifestyle and preferences.

How do I choose a wallet that fits my lifestyle?

To choose a wallet that fits your lifestyle, think about your daily activities and what you typically carry. If you often travel or go out, consider a wallet with RFID protection or one that can hold your ID and travel documents. If you prefer a minimalist approach, look for slim wallets that can hold just the essentials.

Are there wallets specifically designed for women or men?

Yes, many wallets are designed with specific gender preferences in mind. Women's wallets often feature more colors, patterns, and styles, while men's wallets may focus on functionality and classic designs. However, personal preference is key, and anyone can choose any style that they like, regardless of gender.
