It depends on what you need. Do you carry a lot of cards? Cash? Coins? I have the flap card holder and it fits all of my cards perfectly. However, I don't carry a lot of cash on me or hold on to any coins.
Note: there's a difference between the flap card holder and the flap wallet. I personally love the look of any of the flap SLGs from Chanel the most. They also come in different sizes.
The price range for all of them vary, but I suggest the flap wallet (regular size). It has room for several cards, cash, and coins. But it's based on your preference.
Let me know what you decide! I attached examples of the flap wallet from Chanel's website.

I use this as my everyday wallet in my larger bags - for the bag I am looking to get a card holder for, it would mostly be for travel - so not too many cards but cash, coins and maybe a key

thank you so much for you reply - I messed up my earlier replies below lol - I will take a look now at the flap wallets!It depends on what you need. Do you carry a lot of cards? Cash? Coins?

If you don't like the flap wallet, I would take a look at the Chanel 19 zipped wallet. It's the smaller version of what you have currently. There's card slots on both sides, a zipper in the center for your coins (and possibly cash), or you can put the cash in the main compartment along with your key. It should fit unless it's a very chunky key. I attached an example below that I found from Google.

No problem! Just know that the same wallet type might vary a little in style from the interior and exterior.
I updated the picture so I'm not sure which one you're asking about, but I don't have a link to those specific ones. Chanel's website has the same style here: https://www.chanel.com/en_WW/fashio...rtone-rutheniumfinish-metal-light-yellow.html
I would call them and ask if they have it in other colors or leather if you don't like that one. Do you have a store near you?
not too far but I am looking to buy on the secondary market as the Chanel prices have become too expensive for me
I've only used Fashionphile in the past, and I've had a good experience with them. I know many others on TPF have as well. I'd do some research on your own to find the perfect style and color for you. It might be hard to find many options, and the prices will still be pretty steep depending on the condition.
Also note again to not confuse the Chanel 19 zipped wallet with the Chanel 19 zip coin purse. Good luck!
Well I picked up this baby yesterday! I really had to visit a boutique to see the different styles in person - the flat classic card holder didn’t work for me and the flap was smaller than I thought and the one in the boutique was pretty stiff / the pics don’t do this one justice- it’s a gorgeous rose color with gold hardware from the 23S collection- it works so I can put my cash and keys in the middles section and keep the slots for cards which admittedly I don’t have too many of - thanks for all the input!
