Portfel

Portfel is a small, portable container designed to carry money, payment cards, and identification documents. In everyday use, portfel designs range from compact cardholders to larger bifold or trifold wallets that can hold cash, coins, receipts, and multiple cards.

Common variants include bifold, trifold, long wallets, and simple cardholders. Some models include a coin pocket, an ID window, or a passport section for travelers. Travel wallets may offer additional compartments for tickets and documents.

A portfel is made from a range of materials, with leather (such as cowhide or calfskin) being traditional, and synthetic leather, nylon, and canvas offering alternatives. Leather requires regular maintenance to prevent drying or cracking, while synthetics tend to be more water-resistant and lower maintenance.

Modern wallets often incorporate RFID-blocking linings to reduce the risk of unauthorized reading of contactless cards. The choice of portfel depends on personal preference, required capacity, daily activities, and security considerations. Proper care helps extend a wallet’s life.
