How large is the coin compartment? I always have tons of coins and I've had trouble finding a wallet that can hold enough coins without being massively deformed. I'm looking at a Bearn compact wallet... Anyone has feedback on that? Thanks in advance!
From my experience, the Bearn wallet holds up quite a bit of coins without being too bulky. I personally love mine because of the compact size even with coins. However, I wouldn't stuff it to death with coins
What do you mean? LaVan: Thanks! I'm concerned about the stuffing to death of coins that tends to happen with me. Perhaps a sign that I need to get rid of the coins!
You can buy a separate coin purse ... Hermès makes little cute coin purses in the form of animals or fruits.
Perja.....from one coin "collector" (and I use that terms loosely!) to another, here's what I do. I ONLY carry with me quarters and dimes. Everything else goes into a jar at home. This way my 16-year old has something to raid when the going gets tough and I don't have tons of loose change in my wallet. Works like a charm!
I love my compact Bearn, but I have to admit that it's not the easiest wallet I've ever used, especially when it comes to coins. On a compact Bearn, the coin compartment isn't very large, and the coins get kinda wedged in between the folds, so sometimes when I'm trying to reach for a penny or dime, I have to fish it out of them.
Beside Bearn and Dogon wallet, what other wallets are there at Hermes? I think I saw only these two...
Coins are tough...I find most wallets of any brand designer don't allow enough room for coins. The best ones have the framing. Ages ago I had a LV and it really held lots of coins because it was framed. The all leather isn't meant for a lot of stash. Like it was said...you need a separate holder! I think I am smelling oranges here!!!
Kellybag, I agree with you on LV. Although I love Hermes, I think the LV wallets are one of the more functional and durable wallets in the designer market if you are not that gentle with your wallet (like me -- I have tons of "point cards" and tend to carry more cash here!) -- I have "Porte-Monnaie Billets Viennois " Although that doesn't mean I wouldn't also use a Hermes coin purse!
