Many of us grow attached to certain belongings. We’ve all had that pair of shoes that we kept several months or even years, past their prime, or maybe an old faithful coat that we’ve worn probably a little too long.

Unfortunately, sometimes we have to part ways with our favorite accessories. One such item that some men hold on to for far too long is their carteira. Sometimes wallets can also hold sentimental value, as they make a fabulous milestone gift for special occasions.

However, your first carteira isn’t going to last forever! So in this article, we are going to look at some of the many reasons you may need to change your carteira, things to remember when you are moving over wallets, and finally.

When should I change my carteira? There is a range of important reasons that you should consider changing your carteira, ranging from your old carteira is worn and tired, right through to you are looking to upgrading to an RFID carteira. It may also be that your old carteira is too bulky or you have had a lifestyle change.

So, even if your carteira was a very dear gift or very expensive indulgence, sometimes you have to know when to let it go. Now we’ve seen the short answer as to when you may need to buy a new carteira, let’s look a little more in-depth below to discover if you need to change your carteira.

I don’t have a wallet

Carrying around loose cash and cards in your pocket is not a great way of protecting your important finances and not to mention a security risk. However, some men have decided to go with this method historically but could be realizing that carrying around your important ID documents and driver’s license in random pockets will eventually end in disaster.

At this point, they may seek out a minimalistic style, well-crafted carteira to make sure they are protected from the possibility of losing these important items.

It goes without saying that keeping important credit cards and cash in your pants or jacket pocket is also a recipe for loss. Needless to say, pulling out wads of crumpled cash when you are trying to impress a new boss or girlfriend isn’t the best image to project!

My wallet has worn out

You are at the store and pull out your old battered carteira. You notice some of your important credit cards are peeking out and have started to wear a hole in your pants pocket! Does this sound like you?

It’s easy to forget about the importance of a fully functioning carteira when our daily lives are so busy, but maybe the day you realize that important piece of ID such as your driver’s license has slipped out of your carteira, that you realize it’s time to change it!

It was my first wallet

We know that many men’s wallets can be so dated that they may actually be the first carteira they were ever given, back in 6th grade!

Some men own wallets that wouldn’t look out of place being carried by a child. Are you one of those men, whose wallets may be dayglo green, or have Mickey Mouse or Scooby Do transfers on them? Come on, own up. You’ve hopefully matured a bit since you got that carteira!

Maybe it’s time to upgrade and change your carteira to one a little more grown-up or stylish, such as an ultra-slim stylish leather original carteira. This elegant and stylish Nappa leather wallet is offered in three classic colors, so we know you will find one perfect for you.

My old wallet is too thick

Are you one of the many whose wallets are too thick to walk or sit comfortably. Having a carteira that bulges out of your pocket is unsightly, and it can also wear holes in your clothes. It’s too easy to cram your carteira will receipts, old theatre tickets, even the odd nail or screw which has accidentally sneaked in!

I want to make a fashion statement

You may be the owner of a scruffy old beaten up carteira which really isn’t going to project the image of a stylish man who has an overall polished or groomed look.

So, you may be thinking about changing your carteira if you are looking to upgrade to a more fashion or style-conscious item. Unfortunately, many people do tend to give the purchase of their wallets little thought and can often end up owning a carteira that does very little image-wise for its owner.

When you want to coordinate your carteira with the rest of your look, it may be time to ditch the old one and purchase afresh.

Maybe you’ve given yourself a new haircut, grown a hipster beard or even given your overall image a complete overhaul. When you have spent time, effort and finances on creating a new look for yourself, it could be just the time to change your carteira.

I’ve changed my lifestyle

Maybe your beaten up old nylon carteira worked for you when you spent a lot of time outdoors or indulging in your favorite extreme sports such as coasteering, off-roading or even hang-gliding! But maybe you’ve just nailed the high flying job of your dreams and that scruffy old carteira just won’t cut it anymore!

Maybe you will need to spend more time schmoozing important clients, or your direct managers on a regular basis and just can’t be seen picking up the bar tab at after-work drinks with your old, possibly falling apart, ancient carteira!

Maybe it’s time to treat yourself to a new one to reflect your new status in life, and make sure you apply a holistic approach to your image, by maintaining a whole look that works for you!

I want the protection of an RFID wallet

You could be considering changing your carteira to take advantage of RFID technology to give all your personal ID documents extra protection. With ID theft currently at an all-time high and set to increase, If you’re considering transitioning to a more secure type of carteira, now is the time.

What do I need to do when I change my wallet?

So your new carteira has arrived! Firstly make sure you empty all the old receipts and papers from your old one. Make sure you cast an eye over the contents as obviously you kept them for a reason. It may be any old paperwork contained in your old carteira is simply ready for the trash, but double-check. It may be you’ve got a receipt for an important evening out you are yet to go on or even a receipt for a new item of white goods that you’ve stored away for safekeeping.

You might also find some dollar bills stashed between the paper. So give all your receipts the once over before finally throwing them away.

Once you’ve cleared out all of your old paperwork and shaken out the dust, use this find to overhaul the cards you carry around. Are you still holding on to an old DIY store card from a city you no longer live in? Or maybe the loyalty card from a coffee shop that no longer exists.
