My long Constance and Jige wallets make great crossbodies! Holds cards, bills, iPhone, compact and lipstick. Not sure how a compact Constance would look, but it should be fine as a mini wallet w strap because it’s about the same size as the Hermes Convoyeur and Cinhetic mini wallets.Yeah thats kind of how I felt too. I just think its so cute and wish it could have more outside "playtime"
Just how does it work exactly? The jige doesn't have a turn lock or clasp closure. The slide closure will easily come undone when you put things in the wallet adding weight to the bottom half.
I have no problem with carrying an iPhone, compact, lipstick and credit cards. You can loop/double the chain around the top for heavier loads. I’ll post a photo when I get a chance
It has nothing to do with how heavy the chain is. The closure will slide out when the bottom of the wallet gets heavy with your things as there is nothing to grip the slide in place. It's plain physics. The only thing I can think of is if the wallet is really stuffed and create a curve at the slide to give more grip.I have no problem with carrying an iPhone, compact, lipstick and credit cards.

Anyways, I am grad you are happy with it. Personally i wouldn't do this as the moment I open the wallet, I need to hold both the wallet and the chain to make sure they don't fall off. I'd rather use a proper WOC for those occasions. Enjoy your wallets!I have no problem with carrying an iPhone, compact, lipstick and credit cards.

Sorry for any confusion, but that’s not what I said. I meant if what you’re carrying in the Jige is heavy and makes the flap open, you can wrap the chain once around the top of the flap to help distribute the weight better. (I didn’t mention chain weight, as that does not matter and I’m no physics major lol) Not sure if you’ve actually tried it, dear, or just speculating, but I frequently use mine this way, I don’t overstuff, and it works just fine
I know a picture is worth a thousand words, but I’m not home to post one, at the moment.Don’t get me wrong, I love my “proper” crossbodies, but this is a fun way to make my clutch size wallets more useful. And, yes, any time I carry my Hermes, any way I carry it, it’s very enjoyable

This was actually in reference to an aforementioned Constance long Wallet comment and I did mention the same couid be done w the Jige and someone honed in on that...so sorry. I wish there was a delete option for us!
