Are your keys on the left or right? I always keep my keys in front right pocket, small wallet in front left. Have always, for decades, do the same thing. If my keys were in my right pocket, I'd get confused! I know cause I tried!I have a very slim bifold for cards/ID
It goes in my front pocket along with my money clip.....and my hand (zero dip access)
The other front pocket holds my keys

I think in the USA the word purse is used where we say bag (handbag or shoulder bag) so my purse is always inside my shoulder bag along with most of the items fuzzybuzzy mentioned !!I use a wallet similar to Wrens. I too like just minimal slots for cards etc,
and an area for my checkbook.
I never though just use my wallet solo when out, always have it inside
of my larger purse. If I only used the wallet, it would get lost...



My husband does exactly the same thing.A Trifold leather wallet. Fits in my back pocket...
I carry these until they literally fall apart. Then I get a new one...they last a very long while, I am talking years...
I like all the slides for cards; mine are stuffed in a compartment on the back of my phone and a pocket on the front of my pack.The other zippered compartment has pockets and a zippered change compartment. I don't use the wrist strap.

I've always liked the convenience of cross-body bags, but couldn't get used to the feeling of the strap. Now I carry a huge, well big, Harlequin bag that is not at all convenient, but I love it anyway.A very small cross-body purse just big enough for essentials I need to carry. I never have to worry about dropping it and have both hands free.
I often do that too; my phone has a case on the back for holding cards.i have a black wallet purse , zipped for cash and wallet for paper money
but i only ever take my phone case out with me
with a card and cash inside
