Hi Ladies,

I was wondering if anyone can write their review if they own a coin purse. I think they look absolutely adorable and look they can be used for cards too or just to toss in a fast credit card and go!

I'm wavering on color at the moment. Initially, I was thinking go for lilac to match my wallet but why not try another gorgeous BV color and have a little fun. Plus it might be easier locating it in my bag and not get confused with my wallet. I LOVE elephant and truffle too.

Thoughts?

You should try and find a fish, ladybug, or turtle purse. They show up on ebay every now and then. Some of the ladies have them and they are adorable.

I have two zip arounds, limo and armatura, they are great for coins or credit cards. I'd try the bv outlets.

I love the zip arounds, but mostly for cards. I have four different business cards (hey, I'm working on a new identity in case I do sell DH's organs for knots

) and it's nice to have them organized.

If you want a BV to store coins, I'd get a case that doesn't have the dividers. The key case that has the attached key lanyard you can tuck into the case would be nice.

I think the animal coin purses are all gone, and they tend to go for high prices on feebay.

OF COURSE you need a BV coin case... what a question!

I love mine (matita), but she is in Italy for repair. The zip was prone to getting stuck and it was very embarrassing not being able to pay for things because of this...
This style is small enough to fit a clutch or smaller bags... i can also take one or two cards in it... which comes in very useful...

Anyway, there are some pics...

Thanks Ladies!

Maria, your so funny and you're absolutely right. What was I thinking? LOL

Thanks for the great pics too.

I see a coin purse in my future. I"m going to enjoy deciding on which color. The anticipation for me is always half the fun!

I want an animal purse so badly, but they do catch a good price on evilbay. One of these days, I'll knock DH out and have him donate plasma for money.

doreenjoy · Nov 16th, 2009, 04:19 PM

Just to help you decide...here are photos of the parma chevre ones that were a tPF special order.

I see I've started a trend with my talk of selling DH's organs for knots.

lovebags2 · Nov 16th, 2009, 04:23 PM

Doreenjoy - Just stunning. Thank you.

It's decided I definetely need a coin purse!

doreenjoy · Nov 16th, 2009, 04:26 PM

Well that was an easy bit of enabling!

Now how can we help you pick a color?

Aw, you ladies are great. Thank you.

Okay, I'll be back online later tonight. Let's chat about it then? I'd love everyone to help me choose a color.

I'll be wearing it with my Ebano cervo hobo and lilac wallet.

jburgh · Nov 16th, 2009, 05:21 PM

Dust might be nice! Or Anemone!

BookerMoose · Nov 16th, 2009, 07:08 PM

Yes you do need one (of some kind - I have a fish for my coins and like doreenjoy I use the zip-arounds for cards not coins) and yes we would love to help you with your decision on colour. I also recall seeing some lovely options in the Outlet SLG pictures that were posted on the weekend (if you are in the US)!

While we are on the general topic, does anyone have the coin purse with the key ring attached and, if so, do you think they would work for carrying poop bags when out walking with the dogs (and with the house key then helpfully clipped in as well)? I am tempted...

lovebags2 · Nov 16th, 2009, 08:04 PM

Aah, the kids are in bed and I'm ready to chat about handbags or in this case a coin purse!

Hm... how about elephant? I'm thinking that might be a lovely neutral against the lilac and ebano?

I must go see what dust looks like now.

Thanks ladies for all your great suggestions. I'm quite relaxed/at home in this forum and feels like I"ve been here for ages!

Update: Wowsers! I LOVE dust. Okay, now I"m thinking elephant or dust. I think either would work maybe elephant being the more neutral choice? But, do I want maybe a little pop for such a small piece?

I can't wait to hear everyone's opinion!
