For @ElainePG, my Mulberry wallet!
The color is Porcelain Blue (not Prussian - d’oh), and is a little smaller than my H Silk’in - shown underneath it so you can see the difference.

Inside are 6 CC slots, a center zipped section and 2 pockets (one on each side) behind the CC slots. There’s plenty of space to put papers or other cards too.

I have been interested in the H smaller Silk’in, but was worried it would be too small. I need to carry business cards too, but I want them separate from the personal cards. I honestly think this is perfect.
You're right, it IS perfect. I have the "baby sister" to this wallet. I can't remember what it was called (& Mulberry no longer makes it). It's also a zip-around, but the center divider doesn't zip, it's just an open slot (maybe for folded bills?). There are only 4 CC slots total (and no space behind them). It's really only good for carrying to evening events, and ultimately I found that I preferred a dedicated CC holder for that purpose.

On the other hand, it's red, the leather is yummy, and it has the original Mulberry tree on it. So I keep it out of nostalgia, which probably doesn't make sense, but I can't be hassled with selling at this point.

Yours, on the other hand, especially in that yummy shade of porcelain blue… :girlsigh:

ETA: Here's the link to the updated version of the one I have (no more tree, and the interior of mine is red, not black). https://www.mulberry.com/us/shop/women/whats-new/long-zipped-wallet-coral-orange-heavy-grain

We're twins on this! I was so excited when I found it last year. You will LOVE owning it… it is so easy to wear with either black or navy (or grey, or medium blue, or jeans, or…)

Beautiful colour and leather!

A very Happy Birthday to you :party:
 
Thank you keodi!
Congrats on finding your grails! Do you mind sharing what they were? I find grails fascinating because they’re all so different for each of us. ❤

Excellent! Thank you for sharing your thoughts, they are helpful to me. Sometimes I feel like I can’t quite articulate what I’m thinking! I pruned a few bags in August for donations, and now my collection feels almost perfect.
(there may be 2 still on the fence)

Well done!

Thank you sweetheart! ❤

Wow - good job!

Excellent, you’re exactly even! Which scarf did you bring in?
I bought the Toucans in teal and in white (returned the teal) and the Leopard/remix (also returned). Since we can't shop in person right now (or actually it's just too difficult) I am using H.com as a revolving door, LOL. So, to answer your question, I brought in the toucans with the white background. I love the Miami/deco vibe.

I love zip-around wallets and lived in my BV intrecciato full-sized acid green until I killed it, now a dusty pink one (both are pre-loved which is why IDK the color names!). I keep eyeing the Silk'ins (full sized or half-pint) because I am a sucker for those linings. Thanks for these pix!
 
I’ve always looked at anything not nailed down that way. Sell to upgrade. But, I’m in the US and we’re on full tilt cuckoo mode here: Covid, restricted movement, the current social / racial issues, rogue citizen militia, and the poisonous political “dialogue” is wearing on me like the roughest of sandpaper.

I know I’m irritable :annoyed: and I don’t have enough in me to pleasantly deal with a buyer being picky over a $20 item. I’d sooner burn it at midnight while cackling insanely and doing a naked dance around the fire. :lol:

So, for the good of me, my household and society at large - it’s to the charity shop they go!
I hear you. Those issues are taking a lot out of me as well. Another time I might enjoy stacking those $25 sales into something nice, but as you say -- right now the photographing, listing, and dealing with idiotic shoppers makes me say "donate" and forget about it.
 
Happy birthday @Cookiefiend! A virgo. Explains you are so systematic about your wardrobe curating :P

Have you ever looked at your SO and thought - just why?????

For a moment I thought SO meant Special Order as in Hermes :amazed:

My stats this month:

Bags & SLGs: 0 in/0 out
Blazers: 1 in/0 out (if you don’t count my daughter’s closet as out :annoyed:)

Not much shopping this month! But it doesn’t feel like as I have been looking and pondering... which will reflect in next month’s stats.

Who hoo! Congratulations!:happydance:

Agreed!

You're not kidding! I thought I was the only one who felt this way, I agree you on selling clothing items, I don't have the patience to deal..
Oooo - I remember talking about Beloved India, but RdS and PeC are both extraordinary. I have the pale pink/lavender cw of RdS - it's a scarf that doesn't look like much, but it almost glows when folded. Congratulations!

Thank you! I think yours is just like the compact Silk'in - adorable but ultimately too small. I have a cute Kate Spade CC holder - it's a hard case (I think it's technically for chic business cards) and slips into a back pocket with the greatest of ease. j
I did list the Coach wallet - yummy leather, but just too small in the end.
Beautiful colour and leather!

A very Happy Birthday to you :party:
Thank you so much PT! :hugs:
I'm resorting to walking around my garden with my new bags :cray: gladly doing mod pics for tPFers - any excuse to wear it ha ha

BTW, very happy to report the velvet is a cotton velvet which should be fairly easy to maintain. I was worried because it feels so silky, I don't feel so worried about it now.

What. A. Fun. Bag!!
Thank you for showing mod shots - you've got to be the chicest gardener ever!

Ahhh - I loved that one too. I love those colors. I also loved the Leopards Moderne… in the same cw and I'm terribly tempted to get it but I think I'm going to hold out for Monsieur et Madame. I think. :lol:
Right now since shopping is a problem (my closest store was looted in the riots so they won't even be open for a while), the 2020 threads are necessary - it's the mod shots that are SO VALUABLE! Since we can't go and see them ourselves, everyone that shows what they really look like is doing such a service to those stuck at home.

Me too! I didn't know I liked them until I got my H Silk'in, now I don't want to go back to anything else. I love how neat and compact they stay in my purse. The Silk'ins are truly fun, and it's totally that lining! I almost went for a red one with a Sangles lining but it was dark blue and I want a bright pop inside. My full size is orange inside, makes me smile overtime!
Your green BV was such a fun color!

Yes, a Virgo… I think that's why I like my Stylebook app as much as I do - it shows me stats! :giggle:

This is so pretty! In the first photo, what are those cute cards with pompous? And now I realize ..duh..those are your fuzz-outs!
I like the detail of the blue stitch at the zipper end fold; gives it a zing!
I see that Mulberry has added the “England” as part of the logo. Is it made in England?
