I already have a wallet obviously...how many wallets do you have? Is it weird to have several wallets?

blugenie · Jun 20th, 2008, 01:27 AM

I now keep 2 wallets. One fall/winter, one spring/summer. Both function the same (I've learned what works for me and do it double!). I wouldn't want to change wallets when I change bags so I switch only twice a year.

I use continental length. Some like having smaller wallets too for when they use small bags - I just swap back to a coin purse I used years ago if I ever have to dash with little on me. It's fun having choices if that's your thing and you have the time to change out

Don't feel guilty if you think you'd use it!

I bought a no brand name pink crocodile wallet 2 weeks ago thinking I shouldn't spend too much $$ on a BV wallet. 3 days ago I bought the Oceano double flap wallet which I absolutely adore!!

Now I just have to switch once in a while

I've been wondering the same thing. I have a beautiful gold one from Asprey that will last for years. Do I have to wait for that thing to fall to pieces before I get another? Or I could give it away I supppose. But still, multiple purses are totally justifiable but I just don't know about the wallet thing. Besides, I don't want to open the flood gates. I mean, wallets are totally more affordable than bags.

Never too many! I'm currently using a Louie continental wallet. But I also bought a short continental wallet + a tri-fold small wallet + a full zip coins/card case from BV sale. So I now got different sizes / colors of wallets for different sizes / colors bags. :)

I have three wallets. An old one from fossil whos snap closure doesn't really work any more (got loose) causing me to get a new prada one (in white) which is now pretty dirty, which induced me to splurge on a bv one in moutarde during the sale. My BV one is also smaller, so that it will fit into more bags. I say go for it!

doloresmia · Jun 20th, 2008, 10:20 AM

you could have different wallets for different events or even for seasons like i do.

i have two BV zip wallets - one in aurora for spring summer, and one in ebano for winter. then i have a marc jacobs coin case for when i am wearing shorts and just want to put a set of keys, credit card, etc., in my pocket.

Katemonaco · Jun 20th, 2008, 11:03 AM

I am in a wallet fix as well. Currently eyeing the oceano wallet but I don't really need a new wallet at this moment. So wondering whether to wait till the next sale but the oceano is a beautiful blue. Hmmm. . . .

I have different wallets for different seasons and different looks. I like continental wallets and right now I alternate between my Oceano zip BV and a Tano pool Chicklit wallet. In fall I'll switch to a black Bal Money wallet. I'd like to buy an Ebano zip, though, or maybe a Gucci.

LottieB · Jun 20th, 2008, 12:14 PM

Different wallests go with different bags, that is, if you have the matching wallet. I don't and I rarely change wallets - too much trouble. However I have a few, in different sizes. I keep my important cards in a card holder and sometimes I only take it. I like long wallets but I found myself seldom use them. They are more like the "cards holders" in my drawer. The small-clutch-like wallets is another story. Since I can put a mobile in it, I sometimes take it in my large bags so that I have the chioce to use it alone as a purse in the day.

ricera · Jun 20th, 2008, 01:01 PM

To the people who have zip wallets from BV: do you ever have problems with the zipper? Does it ever get jammed or worn out with age?

Nymph · Jun 20th, 2008, 01:10 PM

I only have my BV continental wallet, which I've been using for almost 2 years now. No problems with my zip!

beck77 · Jun 25th, 2008, 02:53 AM

i have the same problem too. was thinking if i should get another wallet. either continental wallet or short version one.

i already have a LV long wallet, coin pouch and card holder.

but i manage to find a good deal for BV sale this round beside the 30% in spore coz of my friend mum. too good a bargain to miss it. >"<

mlbags · Jun 25th, 2008, 06:02 AM

I'm a strictly one-wallet-at-any-one-time person.
It'll be too much of a hassle transferring all my stuff from one wallet to another.
I may misplace or lose the important credit cards, bank cards, etc.

shopaholic&baby, you have many different typs of wallets. Which of them do you use most often? I'm tempted to buy a full zip coins/card case to match my lotus Roma. Can I put 3 cards, 2 bills and several coins inside it? When you carrry your continental wallet, do you still carry the coins/card case?
