Great duo!! I like the many cards you can put in the Viera. Does it bulge when fully loaded?
And btw, I may just have pulled the trigger on a pouch just minutes ago. :biggrin: It's a Longchamp Foulonne.

I’ve never seen the Chanel flat pouch. Love it! Does it holds cash bills without folding? If so, I wonder if they make it in different dimensions for different countries’ currencies.
 
I have to say, Mr. S is fabulous! Also, I truly hope he and my DH never meet! :P They make too much sense and call us out when we’re not going about things the absolute best way. Which is good, but also a little disconcerting at times!

I coerced DH into going through my Hermes 90 cm silks yesterday — a true case of be careful what you wish for! First, he said he needed to see ALL the scarves, not just the ones I was thinking of selling. So, one by one, we went through all 16 scarves, both unfolded and laid flat, and worn. Then, he told me to put them all out, folded, so he could see them all together on the guest room bed. Then, as I watched with my mouth open, he quickly organized them by usage and color, and very matter-of-factly said, “OK, so these are the ones you keep and use. These two don’t get worn much but are special so they don’t get sold (this was referring to one holiday-specific scarf and the very first H scarf I ever got). This one goes because if you’re going to wear a scarf with orange, you have this one and this one. This one goes because you don’t like the design and the colors are similar to this one that you do wear. And this one you don’t like the colors on, and this one you never wear. And these two are on the fence for you to decide.”

:wtf:

Wow. Four to be sold, two still to be determined, the rest to keep. Just like that. I was a little stunned, but the thing is, he was right. So, I sent photos of the four to Fashionphile, have two others in the To Decide category, and the rest are back on the shelf in my closet. :biggrin:

It’s kind of funny when we ask our DH’s to pay attention, and it turns out they were paying attention all along — if not to the tiny details of leather and silk, to the larger picture of who we are and what makes our hearts sing.
That's fantastic! How helpful of your DH. He sounds very analytical, but he gave you space to keep the ones you were on the fence about based on what makes your heart sing. Lovely! :smile:

No. It stay like you saw. No bulge. Just slim and the leather is oh-so-super soft like Chanel lamb or more. It's prone for scratch mark though, but can be rub off easily. I think it's lamb, but the SA said it's calf.

I think this is a new design. It can fully hold the bills without folding. And there're 3 card slots in the front pouch.

Love this! If the Longchamp I bought will work for my needs, who knows if I would move on to this brand. :smartass:

And I surfed the Viera by Ragazze. It's priced reasonably and looks good especially after you said it doesn't bulge. But I'm not sure yet about the shipping cost. I know yesterday I saw something similar online, but dismissed it because of the thought of bulging. But I cannot recall anymore which site it's on.

This is fantastic! How nice that he is really tuned into you, but also used his own logic and observation to help you. He's a keeper!

That Viera is working well, but Oh so many cards! This would make me a little crazy. Don't some of them have phone apps you can use instead? (loyalty cards for shops, Starbucks, train tickets, etc.)
