Help! Wallet question

wkim · Mar 25, 2021

Any idea how the clasp on this works? I am completely befuddled.
*new, on clearance at Saks Off Fifth. If I can't figure it out by tomorrow, it's going back. TIA!

Hmmm, in looking at one on the Saks Off Fifth website, it looks like no mechanism is involved. The flap just catches into the protruding bar but no method of keep it truly secure.

No surprise then that the wallet on a chain with such a closure is 66% off!

Back it goes, then. Shame, because the quality is OUTSTANDING. Why they came up with such an impractical clasp...
I mean, don't get me wrong, there's an interior zipper that keeps everything secure, but if opening the main clasp is such a task, not worth it.

Thanks! :smile:

Agree -what a shame, and one zippered section wouldn't cut it for me, either!
