Yesterday, we had first of its kind discussion on twitter, entirely dedicated to Men Wallets. The idea was to share important and interesting information regarding men wallets. We also tweeted about wallet's history and how the use has evolved from a utility case to fashion symbol.
Some interesting facts about wallets also come to surface which we would like to share. If you missed it here is the short summary of what we discussed.
You can also read all the tweets, by following hastag #TweetWallets.
This was some valuable information about men's wallet that we discussed with our friends around the world. We really appreciate all those who participated and made this two way discussion more effective and meaningful. Hometown will continue to arrange such discussion time to time.
If you have any cool tip, or interesting story about wallets, we would love to see you in comments.
My personal tip: Always take serious care while choosing your wallet, as you are going to spend a lot of time with it. Here is some wonderful collection of our wallets that you may like to consider.
