Ever since the Clea came out last year I wanted it. It felt like a better version of my Juliette wallet with more card slots. However, I refrained from getting it as I only got my Juliette in June 2021. When I got news of the PI, was going back and forth of whether to get the Clea. I actually find the button clasp outside the Juliette a little irritating at times when I was going for a stealth move to slip my hand in the bag and take out or slip in the card on the outside pocket. Clea didn’t have this issue because the button is on the inside instead. I haven’t really started using the Clea yet, overall it’s a more compact size than Juliette despite having more card slots.

I also included some comparing shots between the Clea and Juliette.

Thanks for the comparison shots. I have the Juliette and thought that the Clea was just the leather version but I can see that the Juliette is bigger.

i thought the same too. The size difference is actually quite significant.
1) The outside pocket is very tight for Clea while it’s slightly easier to slide cards in and out the Juliette on the outside pocket.
2) the zippy part is wider for Juliette too which means you can put a few cards (6-10) in that compartment too. For Clea, you can only put cards on the “outest most” sides and probably 1-2 (have to see picture for explanation). The middle segment is too short to fit any cards for Clea while it’s not an issue for Juliette.

Wow, I can stop thinking about the Clea now for sure. The Juliette wallet seems much better overall. The outside slot on the clea seems especially small and tight. At the time that I bought the Juliette I thought it was expensive for what it was but I'm glad I bought it now.

Christopher wearable wallet is here, It fits everything I need and is compact enough. Also super light + no vachetta.

It is a little masculine on me, not sure if I should keep it(The bag is sent from LV return center, not sure what's wrong, but I am a little bit uncomfortable, if it is used, I would be sad).

Haha, I add a pompom, looks a little girlish.

This probably is the last bag I want from LV, everything else has something that I don't like, i.e. vachetta, leather bag is heavy, weird crossbody, open-top, light and easily color transfer, too small for a phone. etc. I am too tired of just buying for the looks which I did most of time :facepalm: .

I think it’s super cute and doesn’t look masculine at all…I love the monogram with the black trim. Why do you think it may be used?

I have this bag. I like it because it’s different. I do find it’s a bit annoying to get in and out of, and I wish that the front pocket fit my phone, but I’m keeping it in rotation for now. Given the price increases I’m super hesitant to let anything go.
 
I have been wanting the glitter bag since I saw a photo of it in June. I was unable to secure it during pre-order and every time it came up in stock in a store online, I'd reach out to an CA there only to be told it was reserved for a VIC. Meanwhile, my luck finally turned because my CA texted me when I was one stop away from the Fifth Ave store on the subway today and she said, "do you still want the keepall? How soon can you get here?" And I responded, YES YES YES LESS THAN FIVE MINUTES. This is her unwrapping it for me, and I literally shrieked when it came out of the bag :nuts:

I am ok with the opening, as my Boite Chapeau is also a similar opening, it means secure :tup: .
I put my keys, 2 lip products in the front pocket, or just key pouch.

"because it’s different. " - exactly! it is sporty yet cute, unisex, and carefree, I cannot let it go now. Since it is black, makes it low-key.
To be honest, I don't find anything wrong, it is perfect

Good perspective on the opening! I also use the front pocket for my cles, it fits perfectly (maybe that was by design?)
