Hi Ladies,

When I went to the boutique over the weekend I couldn't help but notice several gorgeous wallet's. I really liked the zip around but ultimately decided on the double zip. I have a more lazy/casual lifestyle and this style seemed to fit my needs more. It's actually quite perfect for me. Yippee!!!!

BUT, I sure wouldn't rule out a second wallet in the zip around maybe next year when new colors arrive for the spring/summer. I love trying new accessories.

I'd love to hear what everyone thinks of their BV wallet. Which style do you like and why? What color do you own?

Right now I've been struggling with a wallet that has a very clumsy zipper. It takes me what seems minutes just to open it and I couldn't get over the ease of how quickly the zipper worked. You can just tell THIS is a quality wallet.

And don't get me started on how incredibly soft the leather is on these wallets. OMG!!!!!! And one of the SA explained to me that the leather will get softer with use. Is this true ladies? I just can't imagine my lilac getting any softer then it already is now.:smile:

I can see myself wanting a second BV wallet (zip around this time) by the summer! hehe
 
No wallets for me yet. I do have a woven nappa cosmetic bag that is incredibly soft. It feels like cotton.

OMG - A cosmetic bag in this leather! I think I'm going to start working on my birthday list since I"ve already received most of my Christmas. LOL

Or how many more days until Valentine's again?
 
LOL!!! You've got a serious case of the BV bug!!! Why not get a cell phone case, too? There's V-Day, Mother's Day, just because day, etc!! I love my cell phone case that someone made me buy. You know who you are. hehe I have to say that I like peeking inside my bag and seeing more woven leather.

I think she is talking about JUDA or Lucy:whistle:

lovebags2, I have the Ebano long zip around, Cobalt long zip around, Nero Long Tab, & Matita zip around coin purse. All of my zippers run smoothly.
I use the Nero Tab the most and it has soften very nicely but I think I prefer my Zip around b/c it can double as a clutch and when it's zipped it is closed, with the Tab wallet, a reciept can stick out and even fall out. I like the zipped coin area in both wallets. I travel to Europe a couple times a year so I prefer to use my long Tab b/c it accomodates larger Euro notes. I use the coin purse when traveling b/c of the 1 & 2 Euro coins.
I do like that the Tab can hold my checkbook, but I have a Chanel checkbook case I use, so I don't keep my checkbook in my wallet, but it is a nice option...
I think I like having both...

You have been biten hard!:graucho: You might want to visit the outlet in Woodbury before Black Friday :graucho:.
 
My favorite is my Carmino long zip wallet. As LT Bag Lady said, the zip wallet holds all sorts of papers inside so I don't lose them, and they can be used on their own without a bag.

My other BV wallet is a black woven tab wallet with lots of pockets. It's soft as silk! It' s not produced now unfortunately, but there are plenty of styles with different numbers of pockets, cc slots, double bill holders, etc.
 
Hmmmm, the guilty one speaks! Juda and Lucy are quite innocent.

So, I am leaning towards the lilac double zip wallet, one reason being that it could be a really pretty clutch.
 
I'm not a fan of long wallets, can't get used to them. Mine is the small french flap. It fits nicely into my palm. Not thin but it's puggy and nice to hold.
 
My favorite wallet is the BV Travel Wallet - it can double as a clutch:

I love your travel wallet!

Okay ladies I've been carrying my double zip in lilac with me everywhere and I have to say this is THE perfect wallet for my lifestyle. I can't stop touching this leather. And you say it only gets softer? WOW!

I ADORE how I can keep certain things zippered securely without having to unzip the entire wallet. I also love having a cute front pocket where I can add a receipt or two for super quick access.

I LOVE how smooth the zipper glides.

Now I know what a quality wallet is!!!!

My old wallet had a zipper that would take minutes it seemed to even open and I'd have to unzip the entire piece.

And the lilac color is just PERFECT for me! It's not too dark or light. It's elegant and and that's not easy to do in the purple family (which I happen to love).

I think I"m going to tell hubby tonight that this weekend I"m going to treat all day. It will just provide me with an excuse to use my wallet!!!!!:yahoo:
 
Congratulations Lovebags2!!! Can you please post a picture of the double zip wallet? I have never seen one and couldn't find it on the BV website.

Oh yes I will try soon. But, right now I'm without a digital.

You can see the double zip on the website. Look under accessories I think in the fall/winter season. Let me know if you find or else I"ll try to forward you the link...
 
Hmmm.... I must be blind... I only see the zip around wallets on the BV website, not the double zip ones...

I had a hard time finding it too. They have it pictured in black. Let me see if I can find it for you and copy/paste. Be right back...

Update: My computer wouldn't allow me to copy but if you go to the collection for fall 09 then you'll see it on the bottom row and it's the 11'th one in. Let me know if you find it now. Good Luck! It's just shown in black. I couldn't find mine in lilac but at least you'll get a good idea.
