purchased a lemon.

these pics are long overdue (sorry). so here is the insolite wallet i had exchanged from the LV t&b complice wallet i had orginally bought (remember?). t&b complice wallet was too slender for what i stash inside. then i saw reviews on the insolite wallet on tPF & thought that'd be perfect for me. when i saw the insolite wallet in person at LV boutique, i fell head over heels in love with it! it was perfect, or so i thought at time..


♥'ed how the rouge/red interior of wallet peek-a-boos matches my cherry red bag


see how it matches? ♥ that about it!


there are 2 sides to insolite wallet: zippered for coins, loose paperwork or ca$h..

other side has 2 hidden snap closures; 1 inside zip; 2 compartments for receipts, ca$h; can hold a passport & boarding pass as well; holds 12 cc's

fits nice & light in my bag - plus the interior of wallet pops out w/color. ♥ that!

this bag ♥ compliments the LV insolite/rouge

so why is the LV insolite wallet a lemon? well i've noticed the cc slots have really stretched out, so when i unsnap the wallet, my cc's slide out. also, the 3 zippers they placed for "style" really isn't functional for me & 2 zippers get in the way. kind of wish they used their regular hardware zipper pulls they always use. the red leather zippers are just annoying to deal with-and grip to open.

unfortunately for me i'm stuck with it because i've passed the amount of days to return/exchange. so i've placed myself on a no wallet purchase ban for the next 5 yrs, ok maybe 2 yrs, to not make this purchase a waste? i just can't justify buying another wallet when i feel like i've wasted hard earned ca$h on this piece of insolite that turned out to be a lemon.
