I LOVE Rebecca Minkoff SLG's, especially her coin purses. They're reasonably priced and they can hold a lot of stuff, not just money and credit cards. I can store my chapstick, earbuds, keys, and more. I currently have this "Shop it out" pouch in hot orange. I am currently using it as a wallet and as a "keychain." It's so convenient and versatile!
I also have Rebecca Minkoff's sunglass pouch, too. It's perfectly padded so it'll protect my sunglasses when it's inside my purse. The leather is amazingly soft and the graphic on the front is cute, too.

No pics right now but i love Roots for small leather goods, nicely priced and great colours! i have a wristlet in this seafoam green and a coin purse in a deep purple..
Grabbed a picture lighting not the best to show the colours but gives an idea. Forgot both of these are Raw leather, so no lining.

I've been looking for a mini bag key fob recently. I only see one at Kate spade, Tory Burch and Longchamp. Where else can I look?
The only ones I can think of right now are a couple seasons old, but are probably at the outlets. Gucci had minis of their Boston and Stirrup bag and Ferragamo had their Sofia and Vara miniaturized. Coach did a Duffle and Borough in recent memory.
If you're willing to look pre-loved, there's ones from Balenciaga that came out a couple years ago. Prada and Miu Miu did some about five years ago, but they're fairly difficult to find. I have some from Dolce & Gabbana, LV, and Marc Jacobs, but know it's almost a decade since I got them.
If I think of any else, I'll post.
I splurge on wallets, for good reason: I use the same wallet for a long period of time and don't change wallets everyday. My current one, a Louis Vuitton Curiese Long Wallet, has been used every day since October 2012. In terms of cost per use, that means less than $1.00 per day as of current date. That will go even lower since I don't have plans to change wallets anytime soon.
I never thought of it that way. Interesting.
I used the same logic to up my wallet game. I had one from lodis, my first wallet splurge I kept for 7 years till it was too stuffed and a little worn. I spent 4 looking for a replacement and finally splurged on a Prada one 2 years ago.
I never change wallets. I had 2-3 in high school. 2 in college. Post college has been about 4 and I am well in my 30s. Over the years I have changed the philosophy and organization. Now I have a mini ID holder that can hold a debit card, transit card, insurance card and has a zipper for cash that is pocketable. It goes with me daily and fits in clutches and small bags. When I need to lighten my load or do not need all the stuff my continental wallet stays home.
yes, i spend on wallets too. I replaced my older Coach just recently but the other one was 4yrs old... and it isn't beyond usable was just a bit 'tired' at this point and needed to be put out to pasture.
