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.)

I carry cards for 2 persons, DD and I. [emoji4] There’re Both our ID and train pass, point cards for gas stations (3 here and they don’t take phone number. [emoji20]), my driver license, a just-in-case ATM, Starbucks card, insurance cards, and a couple book store cards where they don’t accept phone number or else but the card itself. Well, I already cut it down, believe me. [emoji28]

I love this. If it can hold US dollars without folding I will definitely get one. I’ve needed a flat wallet and only saw ones from Lodis. I didn’t like the strap over the cards.
I thought the same thing. I don’t carry many cards - only 6: Drivers license, AmEx, Visa, Debit Card, Bz Credit Card and Health Ins Card. So I never need lots of slots. I used to have lots of loyalty card key fobs and got rid of all those too.

CONGRATS!!!!!
I love and collect sunnies so none of mine are the more functional fold flat kind which means they are definite space hogs. Whenever I see a tiny purse I immediately think - nope, can’t fit sunnies, phone, card holder, keys and lip color so it’s out. I can’t / won’t downsize below those items so any bag that can’t hold them comfortably is a no go for me. :no:

I’m like you. I save everything the bag comes with. It doesn’t take up that much room and it helps with resale.

I’m headed home later this evening and can’t wait. I’m exhausted beyond belief - surgery, 2 cross state drives, 2 bday parties, baseball game, dinners with friends...

I just wanna crawl into a cave, deploy a scary fire breathing monster outside to eat anyone who tries to visit me and sleep for a week! :faint:

My final foot surgery was moved to Friday so I’m going to have the world’s quietest July 4th holiday and keep the calm going through the weekend. Books, surfing, mindless TV and maybe a massage is all I see happening. :lol:

P.S. I always need to take a variety of bags with me. I’m sick of carrying my FendI BTW & LV LMII BB.:yucky:

If you carry only 6 cards, this is perfect. I think it can carry US bills. You can stuff 2 cards in each slots easily.

Wish you a good recovery.

That makes sense!
These are so pretty!!! Thanks for the recommendations. I’m
not looking for a satchel / flap though. I have that covered. :smile: I need to find a tote. But, I’m not the biggest fan of totes. So, I struggle. :confused1:
I am so sorry you are struggling with this. You have such a good attitude!
COMPLETELY agree. Anything remotely fussy or awkward completely kills a bag for me.


This is a great bag.
Would be fun! But I don’t think our locations will cross while you’re stateside. :sad:

Sparkle, do you have your eye on a bag that can work like a tote but isn't one? I had all my things in a tote and transferred them into a satchel and found that almost everything fit. Everything I needed did fit. You aren't a fan of totes; so maybe there is something out there that will function as you need it without it being a tote. I forget why you want a tote-sized bag, but since you don't need to fit your computer in it, it should open up even more options.

LOL. O dear that's a lot. But Starbucks has a phone app at least. Can you take pictures of the insurance cards?
