Hi.
I'm looking for something like the Annabelle. (https://www.katespade.com/products/blake-street-dot-annabella/098687243216.html) However, I find the glazing (is that the right word?) to be inconsistent and of poor quality.
The above picture shows it being inconsistent and kind of ugly. In addition, there are really only 2 variants of the Annabelle: Blake Street and Cameron Street. Blake Street has the softer leather which I want in a card holder, but it has the PVC insides with my least favorite dotted lining and more prominent glazing. The Cameron street looks better but it has the saffiano-like leather everywhere.
While the Annabella has only a few slots, people say it can fit a good 8-9 cards in. I want to fit a minimum of 6 cards.
So I started to think about simple card holders. The top card holder circled in green holds 3, while the Nicola bicolor holds 4. Both can probably hold 1 in the center compartment designed for coins, though it's harder to access. I'm okay with having 2 of these because the most often used cards will go in one while the less used ones go on the second one.
I'm not looking for larger options like Lacey or Stacey because I don't keep bills or coins around. I don't need an ID panel. I just want to hold credit cards. A Lacey just doesn't fit in a Nicola bicolor small bag, and it is a little clumsy to get a Lacey out of the front pocket of a Lottie (it sometimes hits the leather where the leather meets the lining).
Does anyone have any better suggestions?
