Wallets · Compact flap format · Rounded clasp
A compact pink wallet closed by a front flap with a rounded clasp, shown in the one authorised customer photograph held for this style. This page records what that photograph actually supports, explains where a compact flap wallet is usually put to work, and lists what still has to be agreed — surface, measurements, interior layout and hardware grade — before a prototype is made.

Scope
Surface and size per project
Product overview
A compact flap wallet is decided by one mechanism: the flap folds over the front and a single rounded clasp holds it shut. That choice controls how the wallet opens with one hand, how flat it sits in a pocket and where the first wear appears. Size then compounds it. A compact body has very little room to absorb a thick card stack, so the gusset depth and the flap stiffness have to be set together rather than guessed. The photograph shows a pink body, a front flap and a rounded clasp. It does not show the reverse, the interior, the lining or a ruler, so those are settled in development rather than read off the image.
The style name is a descriptive label written from the photograph, not a model code. Only one authorised view exists, so the reverse, the interior, the lining and the dimensions are agreed in writing per project instead of being inferred here.

What the photo shows
Everything below either can be seen in the supplied photograph or is a general construction point about this format. No specification has been borrowed from a similar wallet.
The clasp is only half the closure; the other half is a plate or socket set into the body beneath the flap. A round seat gives no straight edge to hide a misalignment, so check the flap is centred on the body when closed, and look at it under a low side light rather than head-on.
A compact wallet is opened many times a day, and the rounded corner of the flap takes that friction. Edge paint, a folded edge or a stitched edge all behave differently there. Review the finish on a handled prototype, not a fresh one.
There is little spare room in a compact wallet, so a thicker card stack or a deeper coin section changes how the flap closes. Fix the contents first, then set the gusset and the flap length so the wallet still closes without strain.
A pink surface shows lot-to-lot variation more than a dark one, and it changes under daylight, warm shop light and phone screens. Approve the colour on a physical swatch in the lighting your customer will actually see it in.
A wallet is handled more often than a bag and inspected more closely per square centimetre. Edge finishing, thread tension and the seating of the clasp are the whole impression — there is no lining to distract from them.
General use
These are the occasions this format suits, written as general guidance rather than a claim about this exact piece. Each one ends with the detail to settle before a prototype is made.
A note on size
Nothing on this page fixes centimetres. Start from the cards and notes that have to fit, then set the body. A compact wallet that measures well on a table can still sit badly once it is full.
A compact wallet is usually chosen so it disappears into a pocket or a small bag rather than taking up a slot of its own. That makes closed thickness the number that matters: fill the prototype with the cards and notes it has to hold, then check the flap still sits flat instead of standing proud.
Confirm the closed thickness when filled, and that the clasp stays shut in a pocket.
When the bag is small, the wallet cannot be. A compact flap format is the usual answer: a few cards, folded notes and no bulk, in a colour that reads as an accessory rather than a utility item.
Check the wallet against the smallest bag it will be carried in, not just on a table.
A small leather good carries a logo on a limited surface, so deboss depth, label placement and the box do most of the branding work. A flap gives a clean, uninterrupted face for a quiet mark, which suits gift programmes.
Sign off artwork, emboss depth and presentation packing before the material is cut.
Wallets are usually bought alongside a bag range rather than on their own, and a compact flap pattern costs far less to develop than another bag silhouette. One compact flap and one long wallet is a common way to round out a season.
Agree the fold patterns and finish family so the accessory reads with the bags.

Before you approve a prototype
Open and close it until it creases
Work the prototype the way a customer will. If the flap drifts off centre or the corners lift after a few dozen openings, the flap is too stiff for the body.
Fill it with the real contents
Use the actual cards and currency, not paper cut to an estimate. A compact body shows the strain of a thick stack immediately, and the clasp will tell you whether it still closes cleanly.
Look at the clasp edge-on
Set the wallet down and look along the front. Any tilt, uneven seat or mismatched finish shows from that angle — and it is the detail a buyer notices first.

Before an order we confirm the surface, the interior layout and the hardware grade on a physical prototype, whichever reference you start from. Photographs identify the shape, not the finished specification.
How wallet references workQuestions buyers ask
This style has one photograph and no published measurements. The answers below say what that means in practice rather than filling the space with invented detail.
Ask something elseNo. The name is a descriptive label written from the customer photograph, and this site does not publish model codes. Share this page as your reference and our team will confirm the current style reference and the specification available for your market.
The photograph shows a pink finish across the body and flap, but the exact substrate is not documented in the written record. That is a material question rather than a visual one, so we confirm it with a physical swatch showing the grain, the hand feel and how the colour behaves when folded.
Because none are recorded for this style. Publishing a figure that was never measured would be misleading, and scaling one from the photograph would be worse. Closed width, height and depth are set with you during development and confirmed on a physical prototype.
The interior is not visible in the photograph and the slot count is not fixed by the catalogue. Tell us how many cards, notes and coins the wallet has to take, and our design team will propose an interior layout for the body size you want.
Yes, within what the pattern supports. Changing the piece changes the flap stiffening and the fixing points, so it is a pattern decision rather than a swap. Ask for a technical drawing before the prototype is made and confirm that the replacement component will still be available for repeat orders.
We keep our own design team and can work from our own original designs or from a customer's specific requirements, including ODM orders. A brief with reference images, the card and note sizes to carry, target quantity and destination market moves fastest.
A link to this page or the style name, the target quantity per colourway, the sizes it must take, your hardware tone and branding preference, and your delivery market. Anything missing can be settled in the follow-up.
