Stylish with Substance

It's IT Bag Monday (late afternoon) ... with a wallet!

If you want a hot wallet, you've found it. If you want a teeny tiny bit of a Chloe Paddington, for a lower yet not highly reasonable price, well I think you've got it.

I do like it, don't get me wrong! I like the padlock, of course---and I really, really like the way the key is attached: on the zipper pull.

You know blatantly in this case that the lock is not a utilitarian device, and I like that ... worrying if I have to unlock my purse to get inside is too much for me.

But wait, in the case of a wallet, it might be nice. One could keep the key elsewhere and maybe be a little bit safer from card & identity theft?

Anyway, it is a nice look, at least. Tongue in oh, so chic? Oh, so chic.

Specs: Anthracite leather, zip fastenings for cards and coins, 7 ½" l x 4" h x 1" d, $615.

Stay tuned for IT Bag Monday, next! Right now, it's also Marc Jacobs sales day!! All of these bags are currently under $800!
