what?!?! well I can see her logic if both the mono and damier patterns are clearly visible for everyone to see (eg. hanging a mono cles on a damier bag)... so in this case I think she is *somewhat* right. However, people never see your wallet, like who's going to be tall enough and peer down into a hopefully non-zipped bag to see what type of wallet you carry?!?! nuts I tell ya.... lol
