I LOVE that camo lining! What a fun, edgy bag.
Inspired by @ElainePG ’s card holders pic and Mel in Melbourne’s YouTube video ranking her card holders, here’s a pic of my curated collection of five card holders.
Clockwise from the bottom left,

Chanel 15C Dark Pink Caviar Card Holder

I reread this thread, about questioning if we are changing out our handbags frequently do we miss out (on bonding with a bag)?
https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/by-changing-handbags-often-do-we-miss-out.610511/
I usually switch bags frequently, choosing my bag each day depending on my mood, what I needed to carry for the day, my outfit and the weather.
Last September, in the 2019 Shopping your collection thread, I did a carry only four handbags for the month. I found it hard to restrict myself to only four bags carried in a month. This September I decided to challenge myself by using a bag for three days at a time, any bag I wanted to carry and I had to stick with it for at least three days before switching. So far, it’s been an enjoyable challenge, I am happy to carry the bags I’ve chosen and they have coordinated well with the different outfits I have worn so far.
Here’s a pic of the bag I am carrying today and a quick bag spill.

Love everything but that Chanel caviar dark pink card holder is absolutely edible.
Thank you muchstuff! Yes, I love the colour and iridescence of that piece, too!
OMG… that is a stunner!!!
Ooh, yummy eye candy! I can tell from your beautifully-curated card holder collection that you're a fan of pink.
The Coco Handle is flat-out gorgeous.
Good for you, for switching out your bags so frequently. I'm curious. Which comes first: do you select the bag you want to carry for the next few days, and then plan your outfits around it? Or do you pick a few days-worth of outfits, and then find a bag that ties them all together? Or are there other factors that come into play, like the weather, or how much you need to carry?Ooh, yummy eye candy!

Thank you for the kind words Elaine! Yes, I definitely gravitate to reds, pinks and purple card holders.
I am enjoying carrying my Coco Handle, it works as a crossbody for me, too. The other day I was able to fit a Leuchtturm1917 A5 notebook (21 cm x 14.5 cm/ 8.3” x 5.7”) in the front section of this bag. For this month’s challenge, I chose the bag first and then chose my outfit in the morning. I think since Covid, I haven’t needed to carry a (big) bag to be out all day. I am choosing bags that work for trips to the grocery store or to drop the kids off at school or hockey. I’ve been using medium sized bags. Also, I am travelling by car, therefore extra masks and hand sanitizer are stored in the car. I bring a water bottle in the car so I don’t need room for one in my bag.
Outfits of the past three days of carrying my Coco Handle,
Outfit 1: Deep plum t-shirt, grey boiled wool jacket, light wash denim, thin black belt, black low heeled pumps
Outfit 2: Black t-shirt, leopard print car coat, white denim, gold textile ankle boots
Outfit 3: Black and white striped long sleeved t-shirt, black denim jacket, black casual skirt, black low heeled pumps

I just think super-chic when I see this bag.
And the twillies are perfect
Took me years to find the right one for my vintage Bleu Marine, makes all the difference find the right ones
I know this was all about the SLGs but my eyes kinda got stuck on that the breathtaking Coco Handle with the lizard
. Aubergine is my kinda of purple, and although I don't have one, adore the Coco Handle, she's too cute!

Outfits sound 100% great
I know~ Twillies are so weird. On eBay they go for a lot more than the store price, so something is going on that I don't understand. Long ago I bought the baseball twilly (actually tennis balls, but I like baseball better), then the Tree of Song. Neither of these was ever issued as a 90 and I liked the design. These two new ones are the Nouveaux Amoureux (I didn't like the 90) and the Three Graces (again, didn't like the 90).
As for being in the store - yes. It was balm to my soul.
