Abstract: A body wallet is adapted to be worn around the ankle region by encircling it. It is large enough to hold an unfolded conventional-sized wallet. The wallet is made of a cloth material having an interior pouch and two strips of hook and loop fastening material sewn along each of the transverse ends. The pouch has a lengthwise opening for receiving articles. The wallet is large enough to encircle a limb with the ends overlapping somewhat. The two strips of hook and loop fastening material, otherwise known as VELCRO strips, are then engaged to keep the wallet in place. There is an elastic safety belt and buckle extending from and attached to the transverse ends. They are coupled to act as a safety backup when the VELCRO strips become loose. The pouch includes interior pockets or compartments for holding articles and there can be an outside pocket for holding articles such as coins or keys which are accessible without undoing the wallet.
