Hi, I've been wracking my brains trying to find the right wallet for me and I'm stuck so I'm just gonna throw it out to the jury, lol.

Basically I want a compact wallet. Because I live in a cold country (Ireland) I'm 100% of the time wearing a warm jacket or coat. So I just stuff my wallet into one pocket, my keys and phone into the other, and run out the door. So it does need to be pocket sized. I have one at the moment that's 5 inches long by 4 inches tall and tbh it's really too bulky for my pockets.

I also tend to accumulate a lot of euro coins, as there are no notes under a fiver here. So I have all these coins rattling around and I do use them, for parking and small purchases.

I don't carry many cards, 4/5. I do however hate folding up bills. You're in a hurry and just scrunch them! It gets bulky so fast. I'd prefer storing bills flat.

Is there anything suitable? Flat bills but decent coin storage? Or should I just give up and look at a different brand?

The double V does look practical, actually..... It's definitely ticking the boxes.

I find it a bit severe looking, it's a shame it's not in DE or DA to soften all those angles.

I would highly recommend staying away from the Victorine wallet. The coin compartment is virtually unusable and extremely small. I sold due to this reason.

My favorite compact wallet is a Gucci leather card case. The coin compartment is extremely roomy! The style is 456126. Hold cards, coins, and bills and makes an excellent use of space imo.

Agree about Victorine. I have one and like it but the coin compartment is too difficult to use. Much better choices out there if you need to use a lot of coins. I also have a Gucci wallet much easier to use (actually have 2).

Does the Zoe have coin compartment? That’s pretty small.

Coin compartment in the Zoe is even worse...a few coins at most before it gets too fat to close.

Oh dammit, I was looking at the Zoe thinking "Well, at least it has a gusset...."

I'm definitely going to check out that Gucci. Thanks so much. It's such a shame that LV don't really cater for this scenario as I love the brand.
