Louis Vuitton wallett

Hi I’ve been gifted this LV wallett for a special occasion celebration by DH and I don’t want to sound ungrateful but won’t it just be hidden in my bag most of the time? It’s genuine so cost a lot of money but it’s a wallett isn’t it - so would it be just in my bag or would I carry it around as you would a clutch?

Get a matching bag?

RitaTheBeater · 31/10/2021 18:11

Do you like it?

You don't just have expensive things to show how expensive they are to other people.

Does it matter? If you like it that's what counts no.

If you don’t like it just exchange it, what’s the dilemma?

Sorry I’m not being clear - I mean HOW would I use it? Just put in my bag or carry as a clutch?

Hopefully he has the receipt so you can exchange it if you don’t feel you would use it.

nimbuscloud · 31/10/2021 18:14

I’d use it as a small clutch bag

VladmirsPoutine · 31/10/2021 18:15

How to use a wallet? Grin

@nimbuscloud he’s personalised with my initials inside that’s not issue tho as I like it but unsure if I use as an actual purse so in my bag and take out when I pay for things OR as a clutch on nights out?

No reason why you shouldn't carry it as a clutch - enjoy your gift however you like.

Yeah… that’s not what you asked at all.
steff13 · 31/10/2021 18:16

You could use it either way. Or both.

dchange · 31/10/2021 18:16

This is 100% a wallet. All the space there for your cards. The middle zip for your coins and the sides inside for cash. Enjoy it!

@MattHancocksSexTape look at the last sentence of my OP: “ so would it be just in my bag or would I carry it around as you would a clutch?”

@dchange thank you! That’s what I thought but thought I’d check as I have no idea with these things lol!

It's just a purse isn't it? Tell him to take it back, buy the same style purse from River Island for £18 and book a weekend break instead.

Or, use it like a purse...

steff13 · 31/10/2021 18:18

I would put it in my purse as a wallet for day to day use and then I would carry it as a clutch if I was going out or just to lunch or something like that. It looks like there's room to put your phone and maybe a lipstick in there and have it still closed which I think works fine for a clutch.

@steff13 thank you. You don’t think it would look odd just carrying it around then? I feel it’s too small and defo a purse purse rather than clutch

Enjoy your gift. You could use it as a clutch or just pop it in your bag like any other wallet. I don't think that's a waste - actually, it is nice to have things that you use every single day be really beautiful and well-designed, even if other people don't see them. It's a little bit of luxury every single day, so enjoy it!

CorrBlimeyGG · 31/10/2021 18:18

Carry it as a clutch if you'd normally carry a purse as a clutch.

Nope. I have a couple I use just like that.

Buildingthefuture · 31/10/2021 18:19

I have the same one (but mine has a pink fastener thing) I’ve had it for years and love it..it’s a wallet and I carry it in my bag…..I take loads of crap with me on a night out though so, for me, it’s not big enough to use as a clutch
