So wallets. I mentioned I wanted a new wallet. I dislike the long wallets. They take too much space. I looked online at some of the Hermes wallets and some were just weird, like the Passant. To me, that was WAY to complicated to deal with. I like simple and functional, quickly open it and done. Envelope wallets? I have no idea what those are. I did see a pink Compact Bearn that was online for about a week and disappeared. That looked reasonable in size. At this point I had about given up on the Hermes wallets and was willing to settle for a Vuitton compact wallet. From many reviews on line, it seems their quality was respected.

In the store I saw a Compact Bearn and the leather just seemed "thin"? I'm not sure how to describe it but I didn't like it. So I was ready to leave but there was a Compact Constance up in the display. The very nice sales lady went to retrieve the colors.

I LOVE RED. Well this worked out. It was the PERFECT size and had a zipper for the coins and closes fine. I LOVE IT!!! :loveeyes: OK, I could have bought a lifetime supply of Vuitton wallets for the cost of this but I figure this will last my lifetime.

Yes, you get a box picture with dust bag. I took it so here it is :biggrin:

For me, its the perfect size. The only complaint I might have is the billfold area is not a true billfold in that the cash has to be folded making it thicker. But since I know longer have any cash, it doesn't really matter :giggle:

One good thing is the slot on the back side is good for a temporary place to store receipts. So together, its red and black. The wallet is easy to see when in the bag and I like that.

My day was not over, now I need to put it all together and make sure it all fits. The journey continues ...

That's a gorgeous wallet! Stunning red. May I ask how much it costs?
 
Congratulation!! Beautiful new bag and the journey story was excellent.

Awww :heart: thanks so much! :flowers: I am so happy you came along my special journey.


Congrats on your first H bag. You made a great choice and the twillies look amazing. [emoji322]

Thank you :love: i was looking for a twilly with a lot of black to match my bag and wanted some red in it. My clothing is usually black and red. The green and blue is also nice to have in it as well. Blue for jeans and green for the holidays.


Thanks for sharing your journey with us. I just put the Bolide on my Hermes wish list. Beautiful bag and pictures. Great choice on the twillies. They make the bag pop!

Thank you so much :hbeat: Yes the ones I picked out make it pop so nicely. Love that it has a lot of black and some red in it.
