What type of Purse/Wallet do you use ?

A very thin leather wallet, about a quarter of an inch thick, that holds my Ontario D.L. , my Ontario Health Insurance Card, and one debit card. It is protected from electronic scans that might pick up the data on my CIBC debit card. I recently bought a Faraday bag, that I put my car keys in, when I go into the house. This makes it impossible for car thieves to copy the fob information from out side our house. Cost me $12.95. A simple way to foil car thieves. link.

@jimintoronto At home, I put my car keys in a stainless steel cooking pot with lid. I don't know how effective that is. It also doesn't help when I'm out doing errands. (I wear my keys on a lanyard while out.)

Actually, I should probably take the fob off and store it. It doesn't work in the winter anyway, so it's kind of useless. Hmm, that means it's also useless to thieves. 🤷‍♀️

The other zippered compartment has pockets and a zippered change compartment. I don't use the wrist strap.

I use one very similar to @Bella's, except it's a light blue. Very sturdy. It's a Joy & Iman brand; got it at HSN (Home Shopping Network). Works great.
 
Cross body purse to hold, wallet, glasses case. My iphone is in my pocket. If I am travelling light a small cross body pouch bag - wallet is dumped in favour a billfold to hold cards and 2 zippered parts for bills/change and driver license/health card.
 
I like cross body bags and I have several but they always seem too small for all my stuff...also my stuff gets lost in the bags with 12 different pockets and zippers, lately I've been carrying a simple satchel over the shoulder type.
 
I use whatever latest handbag my daughter gifts me. Always use the long strap and wear it cross-body. My wallet is a gift from nephew's wife. I tell them not to buy me designer stuff, but they don't listen to me!

I would never spend what is required for designer bags/wallets, but do admit they are long-lasting.
 
Cowhide bag, looks like a small saddlebag.
matching wallet and cowhide leather coin purse.
Think I'm going to go with an over the shoulder
zip bag. Purses are so "old lady".
 
I use a simple men's type bifold dark teal color. My keys are always in my right front pocket, wallet is always in back right pocket.

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 !! 🤣

LOL, well I like both your handbag and purse :) Ya know, I prefer
shoulder strap bags, now that I think of it I have just three,
and one of them look just like yours @ Wren, but instead
the pink trim, mine is red...

Not sure, maybe Teflon can't seem to keep any money in it for long...

Actually it's a gator hide wallet, from one of the gators I got in my Florida gator hunting days. Still have enough hides for a lifetime of wallets, if I could only find someone locally here who could do a decent job...

I prefer shoulder bags because it leaves you ‘hands free’ ! just don’t overload them as it can cause back and shoulder problems
