Can "una cartera" be used as a wallet, as well as a purse?
Cheers
una cartera
Hi Oli,
Not a 100% sure on that one, in Chile we use "Billetera" for wallet and "Cartera" for a woman’s handbag or purse... but I think in some places, they may use “cartera” for everything... not sure.
Kind regards,
Mauricio

hola!!!
In Mexico we use the word "cartera" for a lot of diffrent things.
One of them is the mens wallet...."La cartera de hombre"
So if you come to Mexico, you can use "cartera" for talking about a wallet, or also "billetera" which comes from the word "billete" or bill (as in dollar bill).
"Cartera" comes from "carta" or letter...so its the bag you put the letters, mail or postcards that is used by the mailman or postman (in England ).
