Wristlet Bags

Cowhide wristlets: zip wallets, long zip clutches and a pouch, each with a wrist strap. Carry one on its own when you only need cards, cash and keys, or drop it into a bigger bag.

What a wristlet is

A wristlet is a small zip wallet or pouch with a loop strap that goes around the wrist. It sits between a wallet and a bag: big enough for cards, bills and coins, small enough to tuck into a tote, and with the strap on you can carry it alone for a quick errand or a night out.

Sizes and shapes

Most wristlets here are about 7.5 inches wide and around an inch deep, with a zip that runs around three sides so the card slots open flat. One long zip clutch is narrower and taller. The cosmetic pouch is deeper, about 3 inches, and takes makeup or small loose things rather than cards.

Phone or no phone

A wristlet is slim by design, so whether a phone fits depends on the phone and the wallet. Each product page lists the inside measurements; compare them with your phone before relying on it as a phone carrier.

Questions

What is a wristlet?

A small zip wallet or pouch with a strap that loops around the wrist, so you can carry it on its own without a bag.

Is a wristlet the same as a clutch?

Close. A clutch is held in the hand; a wristlet adds a wrist strap so it hangs from your wrist. Several wristlets here are long zip wallets that work as both.

Can the wrist strap be removed?

On most of them, yes: the strap clips on, so the wristlet can go back to being an ordinary wallet inside your bag. The product page notes when the strap is fixed.

What fits in a leather wristlet?

Cards, folded or flat bills, coins, keys and receipts. Whether a phone fits depends on its size; product pages list the inside measurements.
