Thanks, all! Just a little thing I thought to share. Yes, I love these semi-hidden elements of style that make your day feel nicer! I remember balking for a moment paying more for my old wallet than I’d ever paid for one before, even though it was on sale, but now when I think of CPW, it was a total bargain. I know that older, cheaper wallets I’ve had in the past have not lasted nearly as long.
I was surprised at how prevalent large wallets still are at retail. Like, who carries around a checkbook anymore? As many of you have noted, most people seem to be carrying fewer cards, not more. I have a separate little zip pouch that holds random coupons or membership cards, insurance cards, etc.
I’ve started using that instead of stuffing them into my nice streamlined wallet.
I had to laugh a little taking the pic. I was waiting for our dozen order at a local donut shop — we were going for a celebration lunch for my stepson’s wife’s birthday and she loves donuts! (The smell of hot fresh donuts in my car was heavenly as I drove to meet the group.) I liked the play of patterns of my bag and the retro table top with the wallet.
