I love wristlets but I do need a little more, I carry a book always. LoL also wanted to ask you, your want Fob, do you have a bigger picture? and or a link to see it? it looks amazing!


It's called the comic book fob :) Google it and you should see a lot of pictures :)

I don't want to say that it's rare, it just seems like whoever has it doesn't want to give it up! The only place to find it is on ebay.
 
this Colette has a large capacity and i can carry her on my shoulder. I love this wristlet...

I recently just sold off my larger coach pieces because of injury and surgery of my shoulder and hand. I just couldn't hold a large heavy purse anymore. I was use to carrying a Coach Leah, and overloading it. So I recently got a Legacy Pouch and it's just perfect for me. You can see a pic of one in the same style of mine here. My iPhone fits in the front little pocket perfectly, and the main section holds my wallet, small camera, coin purse, lotion, etc. It's a great size for a little purse. It definitely took some adjusting, but I'm really happy with this and it being little makes sure I don't overload it and end up hurting my hand and shoulder.
 
I'd miss carrying my bags if I used a wristlet instead, but if you can't comfortably carry your bags where you work then why not use a wristlet instead? I work in an office so I can carry my bags, but if I leave for lunch or something (walking distance) I just grab my wristlet with my license, credit cards, cash, and key card to get back into my office.
 
Last spring/summer, I did "wristlet challenges" where I would force myself to use just a wristlet for a week or more at a time. I really enjoyed it! For awhile I used one for over a month and when I switched back to a normal purse it took me a long time to get used to it. I'm thinking of using a wristlet this weekend, I am so sick of lugging my bag around right now.

I remember the 'wristlet challenge' - the most I managed was two days in a row and I was constantly needing something I didn't have with me. I wish I could make it work for me though.

I found that to be an issue yesterday, actually. I was out from around 1PM and got home around 10PM and it was fine most of the time but there were a few things I missed.
 
i like taking a wristlet mainly when i'm shopping for a purse. i dont want to look and try on bags while i have a bag in my arm already. i went to the outlet this weekend and all i took was my wristlet (and inside i just had my mini skinny with debit card/credit card/id, lipgloss, and my phone droid X). but i mainly carry a purse. if you dont use much then i say go with a wristlet. let us know which wristlet you decide on getting :]

I know I am bumping an old thread but I was looking to try and find pictures of what people store in their wristlets when they use them as a purse. I am thinking of doing this for summer just because I don't like carrying a purse on my shoulder when I wear dresses and skirts because it sometimes makes them ride up.
I would be buying from ebay since I don't have a coach store or outlet anywhere near me.

Would I be able to fit a mini skinny (as a wallet), smartphone and lipgloss inside or are they too small??
 
I have been carrying Colette large wristlet 44831 ever since I bought it. Holds medium miniskinny, iphone, keys and small misc. Fits in any bag or just carry on its own.

Thanks it's not that far off then so it should do me fine if I win. I REALLY want a red bag or wristlet. If I win it then I will need to find a mini skinny as well LOL!!
