How do you use your Coach wristlets?

i have two and i never use them for anything. lol although i did put mine to use today. i went to a baseball game and didnt want to bring my purse.

inside i put my credit card, cash, digital camera and my lipgloss. so much easier than carrying my gallery tote.
 
I appreciate all your ideas. They are extremely helpful. I will definitely check out the "What's in my bag" thread.

I just thought the thing was limited to wallet use. Before your replies, I didn't think I could change my lifestyle so drastically to accomodate the fashion trend by losing my wallet.

I can look into the miniskinnies as a change purse and I recall I have a friend who gave me a metal clasp that can snap and hold my credit cards. Mind you, I would have to unclasp it each time and sort through them like playing cards when I need them.

I can think of some ways to use my wristlets right now: coupons, gloss, notes....

This forum is really helpful and I am going to dig out my wristlets for this weekend!

I use my wristlet when I go out and don't want to carry a big purse, and sometimes when I'm out of town to store my important stuff that I want readily available (ID, credit cards, medical cards, mascara, lipgloss, pack of gum, money). I love my Soho and I'm looking for a capacity this weekend and maybe another Soho or signature to add to my collection.

I keep my mini-skinny in my day to day purses for my ID, credit cards, and money.
 
I use my wristlet for a wallet just because I can't justify spending over $200+ for a wallet... I don't think its a "poor womans wallet" what so ever.:confused1:.. I would never even have thought of it as that.:nogood:.. I use it because its more a conveinence thing for me... even though there aren't slots for cards, I like it because I can stuff my cell phone, chaptstick, cc's, etc in the wristlet and just grab and go and have everything with me...especially if I go somewhere where I don't want to carry my bag...I have other wallets that I can use w/my coach bags, but I think ever since I have bought one wristlet I just want to use wristlets instead because they come in such pretty colors and can be use as more than just a "wallet" but even a cosmetic case or whatever you chose to use it for... you could put a mini skinny inside a wristlet as well, but I don't tend to do that, I just use my mini skinny for change/cash

Actually, I got my full leather Camel coloured Coach Legacy wallet with turnlock closure from a department store. I know some store helpers who have shown me some really nice Coach stuff at a reduced cost and this happens to be one of them. I got mine for $99.99 instead of $218...which is about the same price as a full leather wristlet so I'm doing okay in terms of cost. :yahoo:

I've bought my wristlets from the outlet mall for around $30-$40. That's why I can afford so many wristlets to experiment with. So, keep an eye out and you can find some Coach wallets that are more reasonably priced.

I can't wait to return to the Coach outlet store this fall and see what else they have on their shelves. :okay:

yeah i've looked at outlets, but never have any luck finding wallets that i'm really into...:nogood: i usually would like a matching wallet or wristlet when the bag comes out... i mean it all depends.. otherwise i'll just get a solid color wallet or wristlet to coordinate w/the bag... i might take the plunge though and just buy a damn wallet for once! LOL :P
 
:tup:I love that idea! Do you have any idea how many times I wanted to buy a mini skinny and put it down figuring "what the heck will I use it for?"...that is a great idea though! They fit well?

my problem is the opposite. i'm trying to stop myself from buying too many mini skinnies! :Push:

they fit beautifully into wristlets! :tup:
 
I use my wristlet whenever we go up to DC on the weekend to hang out. I keep keys, chap stick, phone, metro card & other some plastic in it. I love it so much I just bought my sister one. SHe just had her first baby & needed something small. She loved the fact she can attach it to her stroller.
 
I have the perfume print wristlet in my purse right now, it carries my lip gloss, my USB sticks, my artificial tears...matches, and any other odds/ends that might end up on the bottom of my otherwise neat purse :smile:

I also have the scarf print wristlet from valentines day, which I use when we go to the casino, for carrying my cell phone/cigarettes/id/money

LOL! I'm right there with you...I love them too! I just finished moving my stuff from my wallet to a capacity wristlet + mini skinny too. I just put the little mini skinny inside to hold my cash/coins and drivers license & debit card.
They are addicting. I really want a Tattersall one but I don't need one!
 
I most generally use mine to put my powder compact, lip gloss, lotion, nail file, etc in. It helps keep my purse organized and I feel better knowing those type things are secured in a separate bag inside my big bag- less likely to get on my actual purse. I also use it sometimes as others have mentioned if I just need to carry some cash, id, and cell phone. I think they have endless uses. Also works for a camera bag.

This is exactly how I use mine too.:yes:

I agree they are addicting. I just bought 2 and already eyeing more.
 
I always use my wristlet for times when I go out for a walk, and a purse would just be too heavy. I also use the wristlet as a wallet(I don't carry much to begin with) in my diaper bag. I love them!!! :heart:
