who uses coin purse as an actual wallet?

angelthelson · Oct 24th, 2007, 02:17 PM

guilty! i mean, it's so handy and doesn't occupy too much space in my bag and cute too! everything's there plus my very important keys

I finally bought a big wallet. Its Elliott Lucca in yellow pebbled leather that I got from Smart Bargains for about $30. I got sick of my Coach miniskinnys eating my money. I would always have to cram everything in to make it fit. Then when I went to pay for stuff, the bills would be all crumpled up and stuck in the zipper. It drove me insane!!!

I'm surprised to know someone even uses their coin purse for coins. They are bought for aesthetic reasons only whenever I buy one.

I have a hot pink coin purse I bought from Aldo like four years ago and I still use it. I actually use it for my coins too since my LV wallet doesn't have any compartment for coins. I would only use my coin purse for that since I hate the smell that the coins leave on my hands and I wouldn't want it getting anywhere else.

Sometimes I do when my purse is too small. I have Coach ones that fit a good amount of stuff.

I use my Balenciaga coin purse to hold all those stupid rewards cards!!!

I only do that if I have a small purse. I like to have my bills separated from my cards and coins.

Really? Which one are you using? With all the stuff I keep in my wallet, I think it'd get too disorganized. DO you do this for everyday or just for special occasions?

i do!

I do! Most days. I have a couple wallets I'll mix in for good measure. But lately I've been using the Hayden Harnett Paule Marot edition coin purse- the one that has two kiss-lock compartments and a center "hidden" zip compartment. So I put coins in one compartment and cards and bills in the other. Works out great. My girl-friend was the one that turned me on to the idea. It's super if you are just running a quick errand and want something small to slide in your pocket.

I used to carry a teeny wallet when I only had notes, coins and maybe a card or two, but these days I have to carry so much that it's just not practical. I have been considering getting one lately though as I have a small wallet that carries a lot of cards but has a pretty small coin section. Just can't choose which one I want!

chinadoll, a fossil one w/ a pocket on the front, it's striped and cute

^^^That's me too...except I'm still using mine (and fighting with it, just because I love it so much). I think I will start using my Balenciaga coin purse soon as it's bigger and I don't think I'll have the problem with the bills getting stuck in the zipper.
