I’m the reverse. I’m not really into SLGs but lately I’ve been adding card cases. And thinking more about wallets.
Speaking of SLGs, I’ve been using this Coach double compartment wristlet as my wallet for the past couple of weeks. I really like the functionality. Any recommendation for a similar one from a more premiere brand? It’s about 6 inches in width.
ETA: the double zip compartment and the medium size are the main features I’m looking for.

a day in a SPA?What are you guys going to give your mom on mother's day?
Our usual tradition has been a bucket of flowers plus dinner at a fancy place but it'd be a nice to surprise my mom. Just running out of new ideas.
tickets to the theatre/opera/concert?
a masterclass related to her hobby?
any other way to spend quality time together
the existence of honest people does not surprise me (due to cultural and religeous reasons there's no criminal here at all, if you leave something, you'll find it exactly where you left it!), but i am glad it worked out for you so nicely!! great kids deserve a 'big thank you' note!Had a heart attack today. I was carrying my Dior WOC in my Max Mara large Whitney tote so that I could use the smaller bag when I went to lunch with colleagues.
Because I’m traveling and had done the same the day before, I didn’t “check” my bag before I went into the office this morning.
When lunch came around - no WOC. I looked all over the borrowed office where I‘d been working - no WOC. Rental car? Nope. I went back to the my hotel room - no bag. I was sick to my stomach.
Later that afternoon, building security reached out to me. Evidently the WOC had somehow fallen out of my bag in the parking lot. (I had been juggling too many files, etc.) The office is in a large multi use shopping area / business park. Some teenagers found it and turned it in with everything in place!!!I was happy to find out one of them had left contact information. I called and got all their names / addresses so I can send each of them a thank you note and gift card. The girl was so sweet. She really didn’t want me to do anything but, good acts should be acknowledged and rewarded.
The world can seem a little crazy at times. It makes me so happy to know there are still honest people around.

I know I just posted earlier asking about the double zip wristlet. But a few hours later, I have a new wallet!! [emoji4] I’m not a mother, so here is my “non-mother” gift to myself. [emoji16]
A BV wallet in oxblood (anybody who can help me with official color name?)! I got this from the outlet store of the company that officially distributes BV, Gucci, Givenchy, Tod’s, AMQ, etc, here in my country. I chose among several colors and styles, but this oxblood won. The photo also shows my Mulberry leather bracelet in oxblood for color reference. Btw, I think the tag inserted in the wallet got mixed with others because it says French. This is not a French wallet right?
Actually, I visited that store prior to my trip to Singapore. I already saw the BV wallets, among others. But I did not want to buy because of the trip. But since I did not get a bag on that trip, I thought I could buy this now. [emoji3]

This is absolutely gorgeous. What a lovely colour. Enjoy using!
That’s an interesting approach basing usage on size and I think just what I’m trying to do! I’d like to have coordinating colours too but it’s too way much hassle to switch a wallet for every bag!
Since my recent purchase I have 4 purses in use and they are all very different sizes. The long Darley by Mulberry has been my most used as I love it’s size and style but it can be too big for travel or smaller bags. I’ve got a purple embellished Coach small envelope which I use very occasionally for evenings and a pink Kate Spade mini purse for travel. I find them too small for getting coins in and out easily. I was resorting to using an old Radley instead sometimes as it’s slightly larger but still small enough for travel. Now I’m hoping the medium oak Mulberry might be a better size for some of my smaller bags or for travel.
I’ll gift my other items to my mum/daughters or the charity shop near me. There is a specialist preloved bag shop which gives a small percentage to the seller, keeps enough to cover overheads and donates the rest to local charities.
I think my only temptation might still be a Mulberry pink medium or small French wallet as it’s my favourite colour!

I have a mulberry wallet in medium brown color . It is so lovely. I use a tiny tumi wallet daily but when I need something a bit bigger I use the mulberry.
Thank you!
Thanks!
Indeed it is lovely!
I normally gravitate towards medium-sized wallets, but I make a conscious effort to go for small nowadays. Part of my overall downsizing of bags/stuff inside my bag.
Happy mother’s (and non-mother’s 
) day!
) day!I used my red Kelly yesterday. First time using this year. I think I don’t use as often since it is hard to open and close (so I put my phone in my coat) and I am casual on weekends and I usually match it with black which is too dressed up looking. Yesterday I paired with a white dress shirt, ripped jeans, white sneakers and a tan wool coat and belt. I realized how much I love red with tan. I also just got tan wedges, so I think the wedges with a white dress or simply jeans and the red Kelly will be a great casual look for the summer. Excited I finally figured out how to work in this kelly since it was my dream bag and yet I never use it.
