I am torn between these two beauties! I love the simplicity of the Zippy and the Fuchia on the Rosalie. I want to pick one that’ll last me a long time and won’t have to sell later on. Anyone that has pros and cons for either, please drop your comments.
Help! Choosing my first LV Wallet

I prefer the envelope style wallet, so my pick for Rosalie but you have to deal with the peeling button. I have an Epi ZCP which I barely use as I find it hard to remove the cards from the CC slots. With that price range, you may want to consider Micro Wallet, if you don’t need to carry coins, it comes with a brass button.
But I strongly recommend the Empreinte Key Pouch which is similar to Rosalie with a key hook.

I like my new ZCP DE with brown interior and my Rosalie (first LV wallet). I was surprised how much bigger the ZPC than the Rosalie. However, use is dependent on the matching bag. If I had to do it all over, I should have first gone with the micro wallet or ZCP.
I get the dilemma. I have a Sarah mono fuchsia wallet and I love the color pop. But you said you want to keep this piece for a long time and I think long term, the zippy is going to wear better and longer. (The Rosalie is adorable but the leather button and the leather zipper pull are red flags for me). So how about you get the zippy and eventually add the fuchsia card holder to go with it?
I have the zippy coin and love it! I just got the mono card holder with the pink pop of color.
I have both and I like the simplicity of the Rosalie. Both can hold similar amount of cards but I find it harder to take out/put back in cards in the zippy.
I like the Rosalie it holds a lot. I had the Clemence but ended up selling it because the zipper bothered me. I wouldn’t go back to a zipper wallet.
i have both and gravitate towards my Rosalie more. I prefer the envelope style over the zipper. I only use my ZCP when I travel. Plus, I think the Rosalie is cuter looking. GLD.
I don’t think I would apply polish lacquer to leather because I think it would crack when it dries over time.
Best way to preserve would be to circulate your wallets just like handbags. I circulate between Tory Burch cardholders and LV wallets...but I mostly use my TB for going to nail salon and supermarket. I paid $50 for a leather quilted silver TB cardholder on 6pm and it’s brand spanking with no cracks after 2 years. If LV can’t hold up to TB, then I’m making poor Economic choices.
