Where can I buy a wallet *just* like this one?

January 19, 2016 12:45 PM

This is my wallet. As you can see, it has this cool folding coin bit that I really like, but it's falling apart now. Where can I find one just like it?

All my searches for "folding coin wallet" come up with something which is very dissimilar - I want exactly the same sort of thing, where the coin bit opens up as you open the wallet. Am I googling the wrong thing? What search terms ought I to be using? I've tried looking at the manufacturer's website too - but that was a dead end.

How about searching "wallet coin purse"? Here is a representative example.

I have no idea how I did this but here's your wallet on amazonUK.

Edit: not exactly like it, it's hard to tell from the angle you provided, but i'd say its at a solid 93% like it.

Unfortunately not. What I don't want is the sort of coin purse that has a flap and a button - I want one that opens as you open the wallet.

What does that tag say? What's the brand and what's the number underneath it?

Is this close?
also try coin HOLDER or coin POCKET as your search terms;

I'm echoing the whole "what does the tag say?" bit. It looks like it might be a brand and/or part number. Have you googled for that info?

I think what people aren't seeing is that your wallet is a trifold and as you open the inside fold the change purse kind of expands open... is that correct? I'm not having any luck, either.

I know two people who stand a pretty good chance of making a replica for you if you want to go that way.

This was the first thing I tried. No luck at all.

Can you tell it to us anyway, in case it triggers a research path you haven't thought of?

Btw, there's an image of a similar style of wallet linked to in this post on reddit, and it makes it mention that this is popular in Japan.

I found a couple options using keywords "origami" and "folio coin"
1
2

girlpublisher is right about Japan... these are both Japanese stores so maybe try searching within that site if these two don't... *fit the bill*

Okay there are a million options on Rakuten.

Since all the pictures are of the wallet closed, you'll need to click through for more pictures to see if they have the fancy coin folding thing. Looks way superior to the normal tiny envelope flap by the way.

You say it opens as you open the wallet but the photo shows an open billfold with no coin compartment visible, so you flip open the billfold but then you still have to lift open the coin compartment, correct? If so, how about this Maxwell Scott "Ticciano"?

This one? Its a bifold style, not trifold.

You might also try searching UK Amazon. A wallet there is a "purse," and the feature you're looking for is a "change tray" or "coin tray."
