Over the years I've got to where I prefer wallets that zipper closed. I feel the zipper is added safety that contents won't accidentally fall out as I know by the location of the zipper pull when closed which side is up. I just replaced my old 5-6 year old one with the same brand and style new one. These past two wallets were both Alpine Swiss brand bought at Amazon. Good quality 'grained' leather and well constructed but no idea where were manufactured.
As one would expect eventually the zippers starts to fail but I don't mind that though as 5 - 6 years is about as long as any wallets I've ever had have lasted. It has more than enough card slots for my needs and a full length divider in the currency section. The only thing they lack is a wallet photo thingy for carrying pictures of grand kids but I just buy one of those separate for a couple of bucks.
As always.YMMV...

You misspelled "handbag."
Thought it was spelled "fanny pack". Purse. He's a douche .

The wife got tired of looking at my worn out wallet and gave me a new one for Christmas. It came from Russells for Men, which is evidently associated with A.G. Russells Knives since a gift card, worth $4.00, for a future knife purchase from them. The wallet she gave me was the Alligator one and it was much more than I would have paid for a wallet but it is surely well made. https://russellsformen.com/category/wallets

Check Rogue Industries
I have one of their front pocket wallets, made of moose hide
Been carrying my wallet in front pocket for years, this one is the best for that.

I'm due for a new wallet. Looking for quality leather craft, hopefully American made. Two-fold, holding 4-6 plastics. These are outstanding.. US-made, and you won't find one better for the price. http://leathergoodsconnection.com/

Have been carrying front pocket only for the last few years - just a small bifold with DL, a little cash and 4-5 cards. I was looking at these guys but haven't tried one yet. Seems like a pretty cool concept... https://recycledfirefighter.com/collections/wallets

I have an elephant hide wallet from "Will" on Accurate Reloading. Toughest wallet ever made. It will last a lifetime. I love mine! This. I also bought one from him a few years back and it wears like iron. I think they are worth the money. +3 or 4 ... Good guy to deal with. I am 6 to 7 years into my elephant wallet. Zero defects. 100% satisfaction.

Takes a while to brake it in.

I bought a bifold from Saddleback Leather a few months ago that I like. Heavy leather. But made in Mexico.

hey have these things called smart phones you could keep a couple hundred pictures on you know. If you prefer the zipper style check out Mission Wallets. I've been using them for over a decade working all over the world. I carry a Small Sebenza and a Fisher Space Pen in mine: Mission Wallets
