I have both. I don't carry many keys so I can really use both for my keys. However I use the key holder all the time for my keys and then the cles is used for loyalty cards or business cards or my headphones. But I did use the cles for my keys while my key holder was being hot stamped.
I have both, the pouch though I didn't like for my keys I never actually put my keys in it and it was just hanging there. Now I use it for coins and I like it much better. The 6 ring key holder I now use for my keys and I love it!! It protects my keys and I can fit my licence and credit card in it too
I have and love both. right now im favoring my clés a bit more. I can tuck my keys (house key, mail, daycare fob etc) in it and just toss it in my bag or tuck cash or a card in if im taking my son on a walk.
I need to narrow down which one should I get? I thought my mind was made up with the key pouch until I saw the rose ballerine key holder online. I really love that rose color. I would use it to only carry one FOB car key, a credit card and some cash. I also have a mini pochette that I feel like I need to use more or find a purpose for.
Or, should I get a bandeau and forget about the pouch or key holder?
I have both and I like the 6 key holder better than the cles. It just looks so classic, and I love how if you do need to remove a key its much easier than having to remove it from a ring. It's also much easier to tell your keys apart if they look similar since they are in order on the hooks (although if you only plan to hook your car fob on this isn't an issue). You can definitely fit a credit card and cash in the slip pocket behind the keys on the key holder. The only drawback I would say is if you have an older style car key it can jut out a bit, but if you have the newer smaller ones it will fit fine with no issue.
Thank you for your suggestion! I rarely have to take my key out since I hit the button on the door to open the car and trunk. I also prefer how it looks to the cles. So, it may be the winner. I really do love the pop of color, too!
I own both (well, actually, my key holder is for 4 keys) - key holder in monogram with fuchsia interior and a DE key pouch.. Both are beautiful and practial, but I think the first one is more spacious, as I only keep a small bunch of keys with a flat key chain in the pouch and it is sometimes difficult to fit them in
In terms of durability I think the canvas is the best However, recently I've noticed some wear on the outer button of the key holder since that part is leather (the fuchsia button has some white scratches), but I've had it for two years now.
I think it's probably best if you try both versions at the boutique and see IRL which one suits your keys better.
I have read raves for both items, and I'm not sure which I should go with. I'm looking for something that I can hold my keys, a NYC subway card (thinner than a CC), my PATH card (basically the same size/width of a CC), bus passes (essentially slightly thicker paper), license, insurance card (thinner than a CC), and 3 CCs. Currently, I keep all of this in a card holder and have a separate key chain, but I hate not having them together. Years ago I had a Coach mini skinny that served my needs perfectly, and I haven't found anything quite like the since. (The Coach mini skinnys these days are longer/bigger than the one I used to have, and I don't like it nearly as much.)
Thoughts on which might serve my needs better? And do you think I'm looking to put too many card in either of these items? Maybe I need to tone down my expectations? Also, thoughts on which print? DA is my favorite, but I'm thinking Mono or DE might hold up better since I plan to be using this every day and pulling it in and out of bags all the time, etc. TIA!
