Hi, I'm just looking online to get someone a purse/wallet (a female) and am really confused about what the difference is between a "French" and "Continental" purse is. I've read the descriptions and looked at the pictures but I'm still none the wiser. It's probably not remotely important, but what on Earth does it mean? I've never come accross this distinction between wallets before

Continental ones are bigger in size.

Ohhhh thankyou *crawls under a rock*

French ones are typically sleek, fancy and concise.

i haven't ever heard of that... well you learn something every day I guess

Ah don't be embarrassed...I had to look it up.
