hi folks -- I am in dubai and went to the LV here today. I wanted to look at the zippy organizer, which is SO expensive but I really like it and i think it's the best wallet for me. i want to get either the damier or the red epi.
so far, only the mono, damier and black epi have ever been on elux that i have seen -- but they had a red epi in the store, which is really what i thought i wanted. it is gorgeous, esp. with the new silver hardware.
anyway, did i mention how expensive it is? OK, so i looked at every other wallet in the place to make sure I wanted that one!
my question concerns the color. i am having second thoughts about the red. the zippy organizer is really large, and i am almost a little self-conscience at the thought of hauling this bright red massive thing out of my bag when i want to buy groceries or whatever. also, i think the red makes t look even a bit large than it is. the damier version would be somewhat more subdued.
the trouble with the damier, on the other hand, is that i have two damier bags, and i really DON'T want to be all matchy-matchy with my bags and wallet. the damier bags are definitely the ones I carry most frequently -- almost every day.
I also have a blue epi bag, as well as a green michael kors bag, and a red coach bag; I only carry these occasionally. would it look too strange pulling a red wallet out of a, say, green bag? normally I don't think AT ALL about clashing (or matching) my wallet and bag, but i think that is because I have only ever had black wallets.
I don't really want to get the black epi zippy b/c I actually think that would be a bit boring to spend $600 on -- if i want another black wallet, I'd get something cheaper!
so, it's between the red epi and the damier zippy. I'd really appreciate your thoughts b/c I want to go back tomorrow and get one or the other -- no sales tax in dubai!!
thanks!
