Wallet suggestions needed!

[Lover of Lux]

Looking at going the pre loved route. Needing a full-size wallet and thinking monogram.

In terms of durability, what wallets hold up well?

I was pining after the Sarah for the longest time but I’m not a fan of the curling of the edges and glazing issues some of the older styles have. I do like the privacy factor of the flap for cards, cash, and such.(That everyone can’t see your cards unlike the zippy when unzipped)


TIA!

I have the Sarah and I love it. I do not have a problem with the curling and it can be used as a clutch.

how long have you had the Sarah?

I have had my zippy for 20 years and it has been amazing and still looks fabulous. I have not ever had any privacy issues with it.

That’s good to know! I may consider it now.

I've had the Sarah since February 2008. No curling. I did have it reglazed because I've used it literally every day and my husband bought it for me. No issues and I love that wallet.

I love the Clemence Wallet! Highly recommend.

How much was the reglazing?

I have and love the Sarah wallet also. However, mine is in vernis so no curling there. My other full size wallet is a Brazza and I would recommend that as well. GL deciding.

I have the Sarah and the Clemence wallets. I prefer Clemence. It's lightweight, lots of card slots, but quite compact for a full sized wallet and the zipper is smooth like butter.

The Sarah wallet would be great for someone who REALLY carries a lot. It is quite bulky on its own. I own it in the limited edition white monogram (from way back), and I have to be honest, I never really used it throughout the years.

I haven’t looked at the Clemence. Adding these to my list to consider.

I have a few each of the Zippy, Clemence, Sarah, and Insolite. If you are looking for monogram canvas, I suggest the Zippy or Clemence. Both are great wallets that do not warp or change shape over time. The Clemence is more compact so it can fit in some bags that the Zippy cannot. But if you carry a lot, the Zippy has the most compartments and card slots. I love these wallets so much that I have a bunch of them to match my bags. For me, the Sarah seemed to curl on the edges, as you’ve noted, although it doesn’t seem to happen to the empreinte and epi leather ones that I have. The Insolite is older, harder to find, and prone to its own problems with cracks and peeled glazing. Good luck deciding!

How much was the reglazing?

It was $240 USD in 2020 and it was done beautifully.
