About wallets... help me find one?

Peri

Thank you all for your answers on my matching wallet question...cool points on both sides. I just didn't think it would be this hard to find one. I guess (story of my fashion life) what I want is not the trend. I want one like a trifold, that opens all the way up for easy access. Not like a substitute purse...and those are so popular...because I don't want the bulk and weight when it is in my regular purse.

This what I'm looking at (in violet) :http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/ho.....textualcat

or this: http://www.spartina449.com/acc.....allet.html

Big price difference, but the violet one is prettier to me!

Do you have a wallet in a similar style you love? I want to be PPP because I won't be buying several or replacing it any time soon. And yet my current one is kaput so I can't mull this over for long!

I like your Hobo wallet choice, and I think for the price, they are a very good buy.

Another wallet that was on my radar at the time were the Hayden Harnett wallets - only I don't like the flip out style, but it seems exactly what you're looking for. The black cobra is sooo lovely!

I LOVE Hobo International - my current and last card case wallets were from them. I remember seeing a big selection on Endless when I was looking some time ago. but they are now merged with someone else, I can't remember . . .

My wallet is a hobo, and I love it. It's very old and I use it every day so I will probably replace it soon but I've probably had it for 6-7 years. (by the way it's turquoise and doesn't match any of my bags!) It's like this but my coin purse is on the outside rather than folding out (so mine is a bifold).

To me, the one you've chosen seems way huge but I've always had man-style wallets, not the clutch type. I'm not sure why one needs such a huge wallet if one has a purse. I like that I can put this one in my coat pocket if I'm just running out to get a coffee or something.

Eta: I like this one too. Also nice and compact.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Diana, I did order the Jill you linked, thinking the same thing, but returned it. It is tiny! I guess I have too many cards or something. I thought the other one would be too big, but now I'm rethinking that!

Von, it's not that I like the look of the fold out kind so much, it's that I find it really hard to grab cards out of the other kind. Hard to get my hand in!

I'd go for the quality of the Hobo one. It's sleek and pretty and a fun color.

My favorite wallet is an MK one that zips open flat and has all the cards visible. Mine has an annoying keylock on it, but I just found this one, which I think is similar:

Really, I LOVE this style. It's been my wallet for the past two years. Mine is a saffiano lime green leather, but like I said, the silly padlock is annoying and gets caught on things when putting it in my purse.

ETA: This is my actual one, but in green: http://www.michaelkors.com/p/M.....inental-Wa
