I’m not even gonna be obtuse and say I don’t know the difference between a “men’s wallet” and a “women’s wallet.” If you ask me to picture those two things this is what will come into my mind:

Men’s wallet

Women’s wallet

Men’s wallets tend to be smaller, intended to fit in a pocket, and are usually black or brown. Women’s wallets tend to be bulkier and wider, with more buckles and zippers, intended to fit in a purse or carried in your hand with a wrist strap, and are often bright colors instead of just black or brown.

So my problem isn’t even so much “are wallets gendered” as it is “that is not a feminine wallet”. It’s a black, small wallet that could fit in a man’s front pocket and has a chain to attach to your pants. That is a men’s wallet!

Often! Tend to be! You can certainly get a “men’s style” wallet that’s a bright color, or a “women’s style” wallet that’s black or brown.

These aren’t firm categories, there’s a whole spectrum of wallets. But there are general style trends that you can identify as “men’s” or “women’s” wallets.
