I am currently on a hunt for a new wallet. Since getting the Neverfull in Damier Ebene, I worry about the red interior causing colour transfer onto my Michael Kors wallet. Don’t get me wrong – I love that wallet, but I do not want the white stripes on it to turn pink..!
I recently purchased a small wallet from Ralph Lauren, which fits nicely in my small Chanel Double Flap, and also fits my keys (one of the main reasons why I bought this wallet!) but it does not hold all of my cards and important paperwork that I need to carry day to day.
So I decided that I need to purchase a new, bigger wallet. I really would prefer to get a zipped wallet, for more security, and I am currently looking into investing in either a Chanel or Louis Vuitton wallet.
I would rather buy a leather wallet than one in canvas. I just feel like leather holds up so much better – of course this depends on brand, types of leather and obviously how much you use the wallet but I just personally prefer leather wallets.
I have a hard time justifying buying a Chanel wallet for 800-1000 euros. It’s just a bit too steep for me. So I am looking at buying one pre-loved – but I really want it to be in great condition. I have my eye on a few, but the prices are still a bit too high for my liking. Buying a pre-loved wallet for 600 euros is till a lot of money to spend on a wallet…
Here are a couple of wallets I found on Vestiaire Collective that I really would like to get – but the price is still preventing me from going through with it.
Chanel wallet 1
Chanel wallet 2
Chanel wallet 3
I also am really loving this Dior wallet. I think it is gorgeous and the price is a lot better but the problem is that I fear that I would still be wanting a Chanel wallet after all, and I hate spending money on one thing just because it’s cheaper, when I in reality want to get another item. That, in my opinion, is just wasteful.
I also really like this LV wallet, but again – I fear that I would still be left lusting for a Chanel wallet and end up buying that as well, after some time. I honestly only need ONE bigger wallet, so I feel like I will be going for one from Chanel since it appears as though that is what my heart is telling me to get. A Chanel wallet might cost a bit more, but I think I will be the most happy with it.
However, since I am currently on “ban island” (i.e. not allowed to spend anything, but rather need to save my money towards my purchases), unless I come across some FANTASTIC deal on one of the pre-loved sites, I’ll just have to use my good old Michael Kors wallet until then, and hope that the colour transfer isn’t too bad…
