I have the Adele wallet in fuchsia, I love the 2 large compartments. For smaller bags I use the empreinte key holder or canvas key pouch with a cardholder

I just bought a new wallet. I went from LV zippy in vernis to Hermes Bearn Mysore leather and am loving it. It I SO light compared to my LV. Plus I really like the size and functionality of the Hermes.
I used to love Coach and rotated between three different "slim envelope wallets" (similar to the LV Sarah wallet). When I got into LV, I realized the Sarah style was perfect for me! Over the years, I added a Zippy, two zcp's and a Clemence. I love to switch out slg's and wallets. I try to keep my bag collection at a certain number and make sure to use them all but I rotate the other stuff more. I'm totally addicted to all pouches too!
Here's what I still have wallet-wise:
Mono Sarah OM
DA Sarah OM
Black MC Sarah OM
Mono Illustre Trunks Sarah (I believe it's the "coral" color)
Pomme Zippy
Pomme zcp
Tahitienne Rose zcp
Summer Trunks edition Clemence
I use my zcp's in my smaller bags/clutches. I prefer the Sarah over the Zippy style but I really love the Clemence. It's thinner and more lightweight than the Zippy. I do find it the most difficult to get cards out of the Zippy - the fabric where the zipper is gets in the way and I always have to kind of fold it or hold it up and away from the card as I'm pulling it out. The Clemence is a bit better. More difficult than the Sarah but better than the Zippy, if that makes sense.

1. Hermes small silk n wallet-beautiful but zipper is hard to move along the corners, no slot for bills
2. LV Sarah Evasion collection-very pretty to look at but snap does not stay closed inside my purses-otherwise holds everything neatly
3. LV Zippy Organizer wallet-perfect but quite large-has special place for pen and checkbook-overall favorite
4. LV Victorine-useless, hate it, sorry I didn't return it in time-my bills come out with 3 big wrinkles on them, card holder too small for even an average sized card, scratches my hand to get coins from inside the coin zippered slot--

Recently, I finally realized that I'm just too lazy to switch wallets around and that 95% of the time I will be using a compact wallet, so now I only have my Pont Neuf Compact Wallet and Hermes Bearn Compact Wallet. On those rare days that I need a full-size wallet I reach for my Chanel PNY Clutch Wallet. I don't carry a lot of cards and my most-oft used cards (bank, DL, Military) can fit into my iPhone X's case cover.
I've got the Adele high on my list.... I've fallen for it, which is ironic because I usually only go for compact Wallets!!! Can I ask which bags you use it in?
It all makes perfect sense!!! I used to want the Zippy and Clemence but what stopped me was the very reason people buy them... the zipper!! I can't do the zip around thing. However, they are beautiful!!!
Zippy Compact Wallet- Mono: Carried this for a year straight. I hated having to fold bills, but I carry minimum cash so I managed. What I really bothered me is that I could not use the zip section for coins as it was too tight and never loosened up. I hate carrying a separate SLG for coins. Takes too much time. Don't LVOE it, but it serves its purpose.
Zippy Coin Purse - Empriente: Got this in the Red and it is very pretty. I do have to fold bills, but I only carry this when I use smaller bags and/or am on vacation. So carry this just a few times per year. Ironically, no ideal place to put coins as it stretches out quit a bit if you use cards and coins together.... means i have to carry an extra SLG for coins.
Emilie Bloom -Mono (Limited Edition): I adore this wallet. Wasn't sure I would like it as I had intended on getting the Emilie in Empriente, but didn't like how loose that one felt in my palm when I held it. It only has 4 card slots, BUT I have finally found a use for my Cles....overflow for CC and store cards that I seldom use. Love that I the bills lay flat AND that I can use the coin section with ease. I'm not one to purchase duplicates of anything, but I'm debating on getting this in DE as well. Very functional and the price is AWESOME.
Still on the hunt for the perfect (for me) smaller wallet. Would love to find something in DE where I don't have to fold my bills. I though this would be the Victorine, but I didn't like how the wallet has to be unsnapped in order to access the coin compartment. Wish it had the zipper on the back of the wallet. Also, the wallet felt just a little bulky in hand when I tried it out.
The Zoe is cute, but doesn't come in DE and I would still have to have the wallet unsnapped and opened to access coins.

I have a Zippy Clemence in mono and DE and a mono Zippy compact wallet. I also have a Chanel mini O-case that I use as a wallet sometimes. These cover all my needs for all my bags (from mini bags to hobos).
I loved your review and completely understand your hate when folding bills. It's funny, I have the Emillie and love it's size etc... but wish it had more CC slots! Thanks for sharing.
I use it in any large bags (I don’t have any large LV bags right now) but some sort of tote bag like the Neverfull is on my wishlist. I think it’s a great wallet for bigger bags and it helps with organization
I don’t purposely collect them but do have few pieces from time to time. Here is my purchase order:
- Gucci bifold compact wallet bought over 10 years ago, forgot what it’s called(held up extremely well)
- Louis Vuitton vernice zippy coin purse (indestructible, favorite, thinking to get one more)
- BV continental wallet (wasting money)
- Chanel Mini O case
- Louis Vuitton Empriente Victorine wallet (full function with compact size, but I think Zoe gets even more compact)
- Louis Vuitton Empriente key pouch (haven’t stated using it)
Hope it helps, Happy decision!

I have the ZO, ZCW OM in DE, ZCP, Brazza, Eugenie in white MC, and the Sarah in Mon Mono. I also have Burberry and Coach wallets. I had the Ludlow and Porte Valeur (is that right?) wallets but gave them to my Mom.
I’m done unless I get a Chanel or an Hermès. I like to have my wallet match my bag, label-wise that is.

Wallets are my favourite. Currently I own:
ZCP in Epi Noir
ZCW in DE (old model)
ZCW in Epi Noir (old model)
Rosalie CP in Mono/Fuschia (don't use it often but I had it heat stamped so I guess it's staying with me)
If I had to choose one above all others it'd be my little black ZCP. It fits in every bag and somehow it can hold everything that goes into the ZCW. Truly magic.
Recently sold:
ZCW NM in Mono (the new model layout did not work for me at all)
Emilie in Mono/Fuschia (didn't match my DE Speedy. Yes I am a Virgo.)
Emilie in DE/Rouge (too many cards, too few slots, and the edges of the front flap became oddly curled up from being shoved into my bag whenever I was in a hurry)
