As most of you know, I had been waiting very the Memphis wallets to finally come out, when we learned (sadly!) that the MJ stores did not purchase any of the SLGs from the Memphis line and none of the major dept stores were carrying them. After looking at descriptions on Barneys and eLux I discovered that the pouchettes had cc & currency slots, so I thought maybe I'd try that instead (the price was the same as the wallet anyhow!). Then Bloomies had a sales event and the pouchette was discovered at a few stores. For a little more than 1/2 the price, it was worth it to try. And when it arrived, I was mesmorized by the black leather & colorful accents on this bag!! Then I got the Danuta and I've been thinking, maybe I don't need the pouchette after all!! It is a little big to use as a wallet and I thought about either returning and/or selling it. I pulled it out today and after seeing it again, my heart melted (I do love that black!!). I thought why not try it out first & see how I like it.
Well, it works. Definitely need to use it in a larger bag tho (which for me, usually isn't a problem!!!), and what's nice is that when I want to run out quickly and don't want to take my entire bag, I can just grab this, throw my phone inside and run!!! I actually compared it to my Lg Zip Wallet, and honestly I think this weighs LESS than that does!!! (Esp once I put all my stuff inside -- that LZW got kinda weighty!), but it works. Three tassels are a bit much inside of another bag, but I remedied that by removing two & adding them to my bag instead!!!
So here you go -- here's how to use the Memphis Pouchette as a wallet. If anyone else tries this out, I'd love to see your pics too!!
