I have Google phone and probably your phone is heavier to start with. This is my very first to go wallet, so I don't have anything to compare this aspect either. And on top of everything this is my first black bag so I am absolutely biased with her. I wear colours, I have colourful bags and she is just so amazingly black and clean cut. I am the worst person to ask for unbiased opinion sadly. ✨
However, I can see after owning a KTG this might feel a toy baglet.

Thanks, Gigi! I am in the fence and just
Might have to return her.

What I have learned throughout my years at Hermés. If you have the slightest doubt and it doesn't make your heart pound a bit faster it is not for you. Still can be a fantastic bag, for others. X

I agree with you. The perfect one will come.
First they offered me this wallet in vert fizz and I already have a bag in that colour, so gratefully declined it. And it just came out that I don't have any black bag. Few days later I got her.
First I was very hesitant because I really love this style, perfect "wine and cheese" fundraising event piece for me, but the colour wasn't right. In the end I was honest with myself and with my SA.

Apologies for a bit of poor lighting but here are some comparison photos of the 3 long to go wallets in case it helps anyone!

As has been noted, the Chaine d’Ancre is longer horizontally, shorter vertically and slimmer (one compartment) and imo has more of a “clutch” vibe than the other two when hand held. Planning on taking it out soon to attend a wedding! I’ve also compared the straps - as you can see the Chaine d’Ancre one is slightly shorter.

My SA just offered me this exact one! How do you like it? I already have a K25 in vert fizz, but I feel like I might be able to use a clutch in different situations… I really like the proportions on this. It is really pretty!

I like it!! Like you said I think it works better as a clutch. While I love Vert Fizz, If you already have a K25 in the same color though maybe see if your SA can find you one in a different color ? There should be quite some options around. Good luck deciding!

Thanks @momoc! Glad you like yours! Yes, I am a bit conflicted… they keep offering me green bags! I turned down a c18 in vert criquet last week. But I do like vert fizz lol.

I was able to try this on at a boutique while I was away for the weekend. It was display only, not for sale, but thought I would share mod shots of it being worn. I think I definitely prefer this as a clutch. It feels too wide when worn on the shoulder. I still haven’t decided on the VF one my SA offered. He’s holding it for me for a few more days but I’m kind of leaning towards waiting for a black one now.
