Money clips are a functional device that perhaps not surprisingly has crossed over into the realm of fashion. At its worst, a money clip is little more than a strip of metal that is folded in half and in between which money or credit cards may be wedged. While a money clip wallet in many ways defies the idea of the functionality of the clip – for those not wanting to carry a wallet, money clips are the accessory of choice to contain any cash and credit cards they may need – the surging popularity of custom money clips has opened the door for them to also be incorporated into other designs.
Today, a leather money clip may be seen just as often as the money clips fashioned from titanium or platinum, and it is the wide variety of the materials that may be used that endear these accessories to men and women of all ages. Of course, in the past the money clips were considered to be the luxury items of the rich and famous who would peel off bills of large denominations to hand to bell hops and waitresses, but today money clips are more of a fashion statement than a status symbol.
While it is common to see the traditional money clips fashioned from a bent piece of metal, silver money clips that showcase the power of magnetism are also gaining in popularity. The appeal rests in the fact that larger amounts of cash or cards may be clipped together and in a day and age where money and cards are a necessity of doing business, an antique gold money clip oftentimes gives way to a modern money clip - leather or metal being the materials of choice – that may rely on magnets.
For the fashion conscious there is a wide variety of different designs. NASCAR money clip aficionados showcase their love for the race with a smart money clip while Tiger Woods fans will probably favor a golf money clip. For a man, a money clip wallet may be a compromise while leather money clips are usually favored by ladies as well as younger men. If you are ready to clip money, leave the wallet behind, and enter a world of style, then the money clip may very well be your useful accessory of choice. Why not give it a try and see if you enjoy the feel of the clipped bills against your skin and if the flair with which you will be able to peel off some bills does not add a bit to your fashion sense.
