Smile My new favorite wallet - in lovely iridescent leather
Many thanks go to bv.luxury for facilitating this lovely new wallet making its way to my happy little hands.

It's the iridescent ash long continental wallet, and it's pretty much perfect! Thanks Bryan!

Pics!

jane, how does the leather feel? does the iridescence change anything? i was reading rere and others' posts about the ottone being slightly stiffer.

Feels pretty soft to me! I will take some pics later of the wallet next to a limo piece, to compare.

I agree, if only they made a bag in this leather!! I would get a pyramid in this in a -beat.

jane - I love your new wallet. The iridescent ash is this season's best color, isn't it? Congratulations!

I just love this colour, the best colour of the season indeed. Wonder if Tomas Maier would accept any special order...?

Congratulations on the absolute beauty, jane!! Can you tell me what the pull on the left is for? Does it have a zip compartment on the back??

The zipper pull is for the long zip compartment inside, in front of the cards area and behind the snap. It has two compartments itself, which is great, one for coins, one for random stuff.

Thanks jane for the zipper pull info! It must be one of those well thought out super practical yet not bulky wallets!!

It is impeccably designed. I have had three other long wallets in the past: Kate Spade (still have this one, it's made of glazed caramel leather and is a rarity in that it's from when they were still making accessories in Italy, but it has a bulky checkbook area), Coach (signature zip around, sold it), and Louis Vuitton (Suhali zippy, returned it as it was too large and cumbersome).

This one is perfect!!!
