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?

It's a purse!
I have one. It lives in my handbag. Inside I have cards and money.

pontiouspilates · 31/10/2021 18:21

I would just use it as a purse, it's too small to be a clutch - well, definitely for the amount of stuff I cart around with me!

springiscoming12 · 31/10/2021 18:26

Don’t use it as a clutch, it’s a wallet so just leave it in your bag.
It’s too small to be a clutch and you’ll look like you’re trying too hard.

Sunshinealligator · 31/10/2021 18:34

Carry it as a small clutch for evenings out with DH.

Ifonlyiweretaller · 31/10/2021 18:51

I have one and it just sits inside whatever handbag I'm using. I get great pleasure from getting it out when I have to pay for anything. Just enjoy it for what it is Smile

All a clutch has to be big enough to hold us some cards and your phone.

Trying too hard to do what?

Lockheart · 31/10/2021 19:44

Its your wallet, do whatever you like with it. Flog it on eBay or wear it as a hat if it pleases you.

Fraine · 31/10/2021 19:48

I hunk carrying that around as a clutch would look weird.

Use it as a purse within your handbag.

User527294627 · 31/10/2021 19:49

Use it however you like - there’s no right or wrong way.

ZenNudist · 31/10/2021 19:50

It's nice. I have an expensive wallet (now sadly at the end of its life. ) It's a nice thing to have. Lasts a long time. Is used daily. My only concern would be the pink would discoloured. I'm going to buy another expensive wallet but this time in darker colours as my bighht coral mulberry purse has now got pen on it!!

CascadeOceanWaveBlues · 31/10/2021 19:51

I would poke two holes in the top and attach a long chain to use as a shoulder strap then it can be worn across the body. I heard that's very stylish right now, it'll be like a posh bumbag. Poundland have some nice long chains in the halloween decor aisle at the minute.

pinkjoggingbottoms · 31/10/2021 20:11

I have that but I use it as a purse? I wouldn't call it a clutch

Squeezyandbleach · 31/10/2021 20:16

Definitely not a clutch size, I’d use as a purse in my bag. If it’s been stamped with your initials then it will be non returnable. Please don’t put holes (As previous poster recommended) in it as this will ruin the purse. Just enjoy it as it is.

fourminutestosavetheworld · 31/10/2021 20:26

It's definitely just a purse, surely? If it has slots for cards and a zipped area for coins, it's a purse and should be carried around inside your handbag. Carrying it around like a clutch bag would look really silly, like you're so proud of your new purse that you're using it as a clutch bag! An actual clutch is a completely different thing.

mawkthestork · 31/10/2021 20:28

I'd use it as a purse cos that's technically what it is, it's too small for a clutch so would just look odd if you just carried it about like one.

TwoFours · 31/10/2021 20:29

What’s wrong with it being ‘hidden’ in your bag? Purses go in bags. 🤷🏻‍♀️
You mean people won’t see it. 😬😂 How embarrassing.

Also LV is fucking horrendous for animal cruelty.

HollyandIvyandAllThingsYule · 31/10/2021 20:30

It’s a purse and I would use it as such. It’s something for me, to make me smile, not for showing off to others.

I wouldn’t use it as a clutch (but you can if you want to, of course). Nor would I punch holes in it.

Pathetic. Grow up.

A ‘WOC’ is the term you’re looking for - wallet on a chain. Sold by many high end brands. Back to the purse, use it as intended. Shove it in your bag and take it out whenever needed. It’s only a designer purse - it doesn’t need to constantly be on display.

@SequinnedShawl. “ Just in case people didn't realise how just how rich you are? hmm

You’re actually the pathetic one! If I was so bloody rich I wouldn’t be bothered about it would I? What a ridiculous and angry response. You have serious issues. Please sort yourself out and not get angry at people’s supposed richness.

Spot on. 🤣

Ann51abc · 31/10/2021 20:45

Thank you everyone! Yes 100% a purse not a clutch! Thanks for confirming. There’s no way I could get my phone and other stuff in for night out. I feel DH spent so much money and feel a bit guilty that it will just be stuffed in my handbag most of the time.

OP posts:
HollyandIvyandAllThingsYule · 31/10/2021 20:47

But he obviously wanted to spend it, so why on earth would you feel guilty? He got you a purse so what’s the problem in keeping it in your bag where a purse is supposed to be?
