I'm interested in the Penny Midi as a wallet. Did you add any pockets? To make it more wallet like?

No, just put in money, couple of blank checks, a few rarely used credit cards. I carry my debit card, credit cards, i.d.’s etc., in the green metal RFID blocking metal case you see in the picture. I was not sure it would work for me bcause I always carried a big accordian style wallet. But It works great.
Yes I was! Actually I thought it’s because of the bag design, but maybe it’s at least partly depending on leather. That said, I love mine too! I think the Aura is a very classic bag and glitter pompei is definitely very special and unique leather. [emoji4]
Your pictures are making me want something in one of the glitter pompei leathers and I haven't even received my first bag yet. I can see my wallet is going to get a workout.
Agree. He said from the first posting it was good for structured styles so it have to be mostly the leather. I love that it does not scratch though. To look at it one would think it is very fragile! Enjoy yours!!
Totally understand. We have all been there and done that. They are like potato chips, you cannot have just one! A word of advice though that I got from my dear friend on TPF, TotinScience, who has much more control over her buying than I do. Be careful not to fall in love with the leather without considering the style as well and if it will work for you. If in doubt, don't.
That’s quite a great idea! The mini Penelope is too small for me and I don’t like the card case they offer. [emoji848] This could work great. [emoji848]
I seriously agree with you here. Leather and style have to come together otherwise, it won’t work.
I learned the hard way. I fell in love with the look of a stunning Penelope Messenger in blue Venezia. Some of you may have seen it for sale on BST. I still look at the leather and just drool. But the messenger is just way too small for me. I am going to sell it or trade it. So when the mud Verona came out, I spotted it on the Calista in the picture thread. I was smitten, but I had never been enthused about the Calista style. I came so close to buying it until TotinScience wisely told me the above advice. I am so glad that I listened to her. I know very well what styles I like so I am thankful I did not do am impulse buy.
I cannot believe I did not try it before. It is soft so it will squish down into most every bag you have. And I love the pop of color when I open the purse.
And I do advocate putting your Credit cards that you use all of the time in a RFID blocking metal case. They cost about $11-19 and provide great protection. This is especially important for those of you who live in the big cities. Can you tell my son is a cybersecurity expert. He gets paid to hack into private and government websites to identify vulnerabilities. Fun job and he keeps hubby and me as safe as it is possible to be in this cyber world. My, I am gabby today!!
Darn it, looks like my bag will not be delivered today. Tracking shows it sitting at FedEx/Charles de Gaulle since 3:30 AM local time and that's it. Confirms how much I detest that particular airport. Delivery "estimate" is 3:00 PM today. Yeah, right. I wish Marco would go back to DHL Express.
That is so frustrating I know. Hopefully by tomorrow the lovely will be in your hands.
Vink, here is the card holder I use. It is so much easier to grab this, open it up and get what you want than it is to use a wallet. And for those of us who need cheerful things, they come in lots of colors. LOL
