I haven't done a reveal in ages (actually I'm not sure if I ever have) but I think this forum could use some more people sharing!
So, I just received my New Lock pouch today. There is a whole story behind this pouch and TPF is an involved/guilty party.
I should disclose that I have an obsession with wallet pouches with chains. Most of my bags are totes, so it's a necessary thing, then I started collecting them because fashion houses do evil things and make different colors and shapes and seasons and make a girl want more. So... I have very strict criteria for these! (well so I can limit my consumption heh). They include: less than 10" wide and shorter than 5" high, must have minimum 3 credit card slots and slot for bills, must carry minimum phone and bulky keys and lip gloss, must be usable as a wallet 80% of the time (meaning the chain can be tucked in somehow, discreetly), must be passable as a timeless collectible, must be passable as a clutch for dinner, must have a chain strap with no leather parts unless it is a woven leather chain (meaning none with a leather strap part in the middle or any part of the chain strap).
So far the top contenders have been the Chanel WOC's (I've been collecting them since they were in the $700 price range; now they are $2100 for the classic ones and higher for limited ones), the Bottega Veneta mini messenger (a recent love, and I happen to gravitate towards items that get better with use like Coach legacy and BV, so I have a soft spot for these).
And then...
