Test result preview
The Berninja purse for children and teenagers is a versatile wallet and purse specially designed for boys and girls.
With its compact dimensions of 14 x 12 x 1 cm, it offers enough space for important items such as tickets, ID cards and cash. The deliberately simple and neutral design ensures that the wallet can be used over a long period of time without being influenced by short-lived trends. The large reflector on the front, which ensures additional safety in road traffic, is particularly noteworthy.
The wallet impresses with its high functionality and robustness. Made from high-quality, abrasion-resistant polyester fabric, it is both durable and lightweight. The model has an inner zip compartment, an additional slip pocket, an extra-large main compartment and a lockable compartment with a viewing window on the back. The easily and quickly adjustable drawstring allows the bag to be customised to the child’s needs.
Despite these many advantages, we noticed during the test that the coin compartment has minimal deformations, but these do not noticeably impair functionality. Overall, the Berninja wallet offers an excellent combination of security, durability and functionality, although small improvements would be desirable.
Advantages
- High functionality and durability
- Reflector for additional safety
- High-quality, abrasion-resistant polyester fabric

Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

The first impression of the Berninja chest pouch is very positive. It was delivered in a classic shipping box that protected the wallet well. No superfluous shipping material was used. When the packaging was opened, the bag was in a protective film. It arrived undamaged and without any visible defects.
No instructions for use are included, nor are they necessary. The use of the bag is self-explanatory.

The children’s and youth wallet has a monochrome and minimalist design. It is only available in black and has a neutral design so that it can be used for a long time. The sewn-on reflector has good luminosity and thus offers a little more safety in road traffic.
The bag has an excellent finish. There are no protruding threads or unsightly seams. The zips are neatly integrated and allow the bag to be opened and closed easily at first glance. The press stud on the viewing window is also very well made.
The material is high-quality, abrasion-resistant polyester fabric and has a very high-quality appearance. The attached cord is also sturdy and can be adjusted to any length using a cord stopper.
However, when you first open the bag, you notice a slight odour from the inside, but this quickly dissipates.

*Themaximum score is 100 points
On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.4 stars. One common criticism is that the price is too high for the quality. Many customers like the fact that the wallet is small and handy and that it reflects in the dark. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the functionality and security features were good.
Prices of up to €19.90 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €6 .59. The children’s teen wallet from Berninja is therefore currently in the middle price segment with a price of €11.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is medium.
