yes i do, when i know i will be using it a lot on the day. the straps are what makes the wallet special and i never found it cumbersome..same applies to the bag! it is all part of the kelly experience :smile1:

Thanks..I wasn't sure if the flaps would loosen further and be in the way. Perhaps I will consider it for the next wallet. 😉

I do use my 2 non exotic bearn wallets every day, these are in chèvre and I've had one over 5 years now. So far the chèvre has held up really well and still looks like new. I can't comment on Epsom as I don't have one in that. I think these items are made to be used, so go enjoy.

I agree they should be enjoyed! Will see how Epsom holds up! Will have to look into the chevres.

I have always wanted a kelly wallet and ended up getting a trifold bearn, with 10 cc slots i think it meet my needs while being more functional than the kelly wallet. i still do love the look of the kelly wallet, and it is harder to come by. Had a few chances to get it in natural colors like blue, etoupe, but didn't pull the trigger. The trifold bearn has 10 cc clots and came in pink color, I couldn't resist! i also bought it in epsom leather, although my preference would be chevre. Would love to find out how epsom and chevre hold up in the long run! i'm excited about my new wallet though!

I have been debating trifold Bearn and Kelly wallet in my mind for a while too ! However, last week (for my birthday), I saw the most lovely Kelly wallet in black box (!) so I had to have it...

Regrettably, I also saw a most gorgeous Kelly wallet in Rose Scheherazade Croc which I had to pass up (not only because of the price) but because it would be too flashy for me for everyday use :( I put Rose Scheherazade Croc Kelly Pochette on my wishlist though !

congras on your black Kelly.... now, I was really regret to pass the opportunity to buy Kelly in Rose Tyrien Gold hardware, because I just bought a Rose Tyrien bearn with GHW few days ago....

Wow! Thanks for your insight! I am loving this bearn wallet. I am wondering how well the epsom holds up. Do you use your bearns on an every day basis? Someone had mentioned to me that it is not an everyday wallet, but that is my intention for its use.

I have had my Ombre Lizard Bearn wallet for about 2 years now and have used it everyday since I bought it.... it looks brand new... so I'm sure the Epsom is the same :D
R U still loving yours????
