I've read about the PS1 wallet here on tPF and finally saw them last night on the PS website. I found an older thread from when these were first released (http://forum.purseblog.com/handbags...today-lux-wallets-and-accessories-533926.html), but I have some questions that weren't addressed within that thread
First of all, are they using different leather now for the wallets than they were when these were first released? The leather that's shown on the PS website looks so different from the leather on the pics that were posted last year by some members. The leather looks more "washed" now - more like the actual PS1 bags, whereas the leather on the ones pictured looks heavier and more of a solid color (they'd didn't look anything like the leather that the bags are made from)
I was also wondering about the size and what it can hold -- I see that it doesn't have any cc slots (strange that it's called a "wallet" but has no cc slots ) I know I could buy a card case and/or coin purse to place inside (I know that currency will fit), but I was considering using this more like an accessory case. How much can it hold? Does anyone actually use it in place of wallet and how have you made it work?
The thing I love most about the PS1 is the leather and gorgeous colors - If I could fill my "need" for one right now with one of these wallets, I'm seriously thinking about getting one (my bag purchase is still at least 1-2 mos away!)
Anything that anyone can offer would be much appreciated (including pics!!)
