rec your wallet

MrsMillerTime

I need a new wallet so I'm putting it on my Christmas list this year.  I've had the same checkbook wallet for 5+ years so I would like to replace it, and since I never carry a checkbook anymore I'm looking for a smaller, more compact style.

A wallet with plenty of room to hold my eleventybillion membership/shopping cards is a huge plus.

I've had a LODIS "business" card case for almost 5 years now. M_and_m had one and it made sense to me. I almost never carry cash, just a ton of cards. I have pared them down a lot but just needed a place to keep them all together. I also keep 1-2 checks folded in there in case I need one, which is rare.

They have them on clearance at Last Call all the time but a lot of the places online offer free monogramming etc. I can go into HEB with this in one back pocket, my cell phone in the other.

I got a nice one from Coach for my birthday, but it's still long (checkbook length). It has a ton of car slots and I can stash my phone in it

They don't have the exact one I have anymore  or I'd link it.

I also have a checkbook wallet from Coach.  I love it.

I have a coach wristlet and love it.  It's really old -- probably about 8 or so years and it still looks brand new.  It holds about 20 or so cards and some cash.  I'd link it but it's so old they don't have anything that looks like it on their site.  They do have some other cute wristlets though.

Get an LV.  I'm not kidding.  I've had mine for 4 years and it looks brand new.  I love it more than my handbag.

I love wallets!  I think I've kind of become a collector.  

- Cole Haan checkbook wallet from about three years ago. I got it at the outlet in Round Rock.  Though they don't make the style I have anymore, I really do love Cole Haan products.

- Dooney & Bourke checkbook wallet (c 1997) --- I use this one a lot! They don't make them anymore though.

- HOBO "Sadie" wallet  --- Hobo releases this wallet every season in different colors. I have one in a very pale pink and one in a dusty blue (I guess I bought in the spring!)

- Tusk French wallet (not a checkbook wallet but still very nice and holds a lot of stuff)

I'll be following htis post because I'm asking for a new wallet for Christmas.  I've had a Kate Spade one for 9 years and it's time to get a new one.  I really liked the last one so there are a few new Kate Spade's I've looked at but no actual experience with them.

I'm a fan of wristlets - mainly bc I carry a laptop bag around all day and dont want to carry a purse.

I tried finding mine online - but my favorite is by Hobo International - the Cristel (got it about 2 yrs ago).  Mine is in a camel color - this is the closest I can find now: https://www.qvc.com/qic/qvcapp.aspx/view.2/app.detail/params.aol_refer.false.tpl.detail.msn_refer.false.item.A218218.ref.GBA?cm_ven=GOOGLEBASE&cm_cat=Fashion&cm_pla=Handbags&cm_ite=A218218-122-000.  I like it b/c it is wide enough to fit my passport and dollar bills, and has zippers where I can keep change separated.  I will say that there isn't a lot of card organization in there, so I have a little card holder that I just put in there as well.

The other one I have came from the Coach outlet - its also a wristlet, but a little smaller and more structured, with more places for cards.

I just realized I've had the same Ralph Lauren wallet for like 15 years.  It's still in great shape, and perfect for my non-checkbook carrying needs.  This is the most similar one I could find online.  I think, if you're not looking for a checkbook wallet, you'll want to concentrate your search on "french" wallets.

Same here.  I think I've had it for about a year and it looks brand new.  It's organized well and has large slots for receipts and whatever random crap ends up in there.

I really wanted the newer Kate Spade Stacy.  You pretty much just open it up and bam there are all your cards but I just bought maybe last season's Stacy during the Kate Spade Surprise Sale last week.  It's stil pretty compact but it just has a little bigger buckle than the newer Stacy.  I think I saw a Lodis at the Rack a few weeks ago that is pretty much the same design as the Stacy.

In a totally different direction, this is my wallet and I LOVE it and have had it forever.  https://www.etsy.com/listing/62460549/cherry-red-floral-frame-wallet-clutch?ref=sr_gallery_6&ga_search_submit=&ga_search_query=frame+wallet&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=US&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_facet=handmade

I get compliments on it constantly when I'm paying for stuff.

 It holds more cards than you would think but it is not one of those you can stuff a ton into (this is actually a good thing for me because I end up not keeping the bazillion things I normally would).  But it may not be roomy enough for you.

I got this Vera Bradley wallet in the Barcelona pattern and I love it.  Lots of room for cards (since I almost never have cash) and it matches my purse, b/c I'm cool like that.
