More 1/31 releases with pics of the Belmont, Pochette Melanie, micro compact wallet, and Ivory Empreinte On the Go. I would not buy any of these items.
The Belmont reminds me of a wider Sac Plat with a shoulder strap. The pouch has a narrow opening and you have to put a stack of cards in at an angle. If you put one card in at a time, they go in the opening normal. This opening will be a pain to store cards bc you will have to shimmy the cards out when you need to use them. This would frustrate me. The pouch does not have a clasp and it cannot be pulled through the leather strap. You have to unhook it from the leather strap, which is the same opening mechanism like the Palm Springs mini straps. It was very difficult to remove the pouch from the leather strap, which will help prevent theft of the pouch. I prefer the regular key pouch.The shoulder strap for the Belmont is thin so prepare for the dig on bare shoulders. It has an interior pocket attached to a zipped pocket. Also, it has what everyone always wants in an expensive handbag, folded corners (NOT). Those corners are gonna wear quickly and when the DE print wears, it becomes black. IMO, this is a poorly designed bag.
The micro compact wallet is tiny. It holds about five cards. I would put no more than one card per slot. I tried to add the Felicie chain to it to wear like a cross body or belt bag, but the wallet will not close with an added chain. I prefer the regular key pouch which is much less than this wallet.
The Pochette Melanie is pretty. It has an interior pocket with card slots similar fo the Pochette double zip. It also has an exterior pocket. The leather strap has a clasp so it can be used on other items. I tried the pouch with a Felicie chain on the d-ring and it looked weird. It will probably look cute with a charm on the d-ring and worn as a clutch but I don’t have time for doing all of that.
The Ivory Empreinte OTG is gorgeous. The color is so pretty and so is the interior. I do not like the white stitching on the handles or the chaps, which is a stark contrast to ivory.
