Mine is a black leather one. I love it, just the right amount of space.
UPDATE : ... how sad is this i have been looking for a wallet since i put this thread on and i finally found one this past May, :o yes OMG took me an entire year to find a wallet i like :lol:
... i don't love it but it has the lay out inside how i like :D
btw i couldn't find a patent bright red or purple one like i would have loved but i ended up with a GREEN WALLET with white embroidered flowers and pink flamingos on inside lining ha, ha (not really me but it does the job until i finally find the ONE, lol) !!
(i'm sure someone here said green wallet/purse brings luck :goodluck:, ... :crossfingers: fingers crossed i win the lottery to fill some dosh$ in it to give it a good workout, LOL) ;)
ooo sounds pretty!
My darling hubby bought me a deep magenta Mimco wallet for Mother's Day. Love it sooo much, the leather is amazingly soft.
Plain boring black here, would LOVE a new one!
I bought mine up on the Gold Coast hon at the surf shop for $12.50 :D Brown woven look Rip curl baby..heaps of space but its still to new and doesnt close properly (due to being stuffed full of layby receipts :lol:
I bought J man an Oroton wallet for $65 while I was up there to
Mine is black, and I did quite like it until I read this thread :lol: and now I'm thinking hmmmm...
Your new one sounds pretty Smiles! Green is my favourite colour :D.
I have had my purse for over 10 years :redface:. I bought it when we were in Bali for new years (when 1999 ticked over to 2000) - it is brown leather and has lasted so well, who woulda thought LOL! I am one of those people that only buys new things when the old thing has disintegrated :lol:. I just bought a new handbag when my old one's strap broke. Hmmmm :think:...Maybe I should try and break my current one so I can go out and get a new one??? ;)
bright red (matches my current work handbag until I go shopping for a new handbag, also pretty-much matches a sexy pair of shoes I purchased a month or so ago) - I've had pink, black, brown, green and yellow
I do have my eye on the gorgeous purple LV one but of course I'd have to buy the handbag to match and much as I'm a label queen I think I'll refrain from spending that much ;) maybe
Oooh... Sopdet I love LV!! I have a purse and a few bags in the mono canvas and one in black epi leather. I'd love a coloured one next! Best bit is, they have all been gifts! Told my dad if it comes from LV I'll love it... think he's too scared to pick a colour though, I'll have to drop some hints! Very expensive, but if you look after them they last incredibly well (ahhh.... self-justification at its best!!).
I have a black Fossil wallet that closes with a press stud. Nothing special but it has lots of card spaces which is what I look for first.
Before that I had a dark red Colorado one for about 3 years. It was given to me by one of the day care families and while I didn't love it at first it grew on me and was very sad to let it go in the end, partly because of sentimental value and partly because it had become like an old friend.
Red Guess to match my Red Guess bag :) that I take to work everyday/
Smiles it sounds like you found a lovely wallet!
It twas me I believe that suggested the green wallet. It is a feng shui thing. Also you should always keep some money in it - never to empty. If necessary you photocopy a cheque and put it in there... The money musn't be folded it must lay flat..
I found myself a green one I think it's a "Wilson" one - I love the design it zips right around (I have a similar one in red - which is not good feng shui - sorry Sopdet!).
What brand was yours Smiles and what's the design? I need lots of card places...
... it's a cheapy one to tie me over until i find one i love, it's an Anna Nova brand - got it from the shop Thomas Jeweller rrp$29.95 but i got on special for $19.95, they were still on special when i went in there last week. Matt not shiny. It comes in a hot pink, choc brown (this one has a butterfly on it) and pale blue one ... although the hot pink one looks more plastic on the surface IYKWIM. At least the green one looks like leather with the fake grain (although non leather for this price). Mine holds 12 cards and has a zipper area for coins, can hold notes flat not folded, and has a window for drivers licence (or bubba/s pic ;)):
I usually prefer leather but my last one being a gift was non-leather and i was pleasantly surprised it last the years it did.
BTW thanks heaps for the tips, and yep i don't ever fold the notes :thumbsup:
Well, I need all the financial help I can get... going to buy a big green purse tomorrow! I am currently using a tan purse that the notes go in flat, but then you fold the purse so they're folded in half. Most of my purses involve folding so will rectify that.
Oh yes, and I fancy another purse.
You go to those shops then Ryn! Yes, it's important that the purse/wallet doesn't fold that they always stay flat... I'm the same Ryn I need all thehelp I can get too thus wanting a green one!
I have never heard that the money shouldn't be folded. All my purses have been like that because I like small wallets.
The one i'm using now I bought on major sale in QLD last year. It's red, I'd always had black wallets but since having this purse I've never been without money. It has never been empty since I bought it. So I might keep it a bit longer LOL.
A little Feng Shui antidote could be putting a small piece of jade into your walket/purse. It's meant to attract money. I have a bit somewhere, a flat disc... Off to find it now! Let's see what happens... Our finances are a tad grim ATM with another terms boarding school fees just about to blow our bank account!
Ooooh, I've heard that there's a semi-precious stone that attracts money, but it wasn't jade. It was a yellow one. Have to find that stone again!
Carnelian Ryn. Put it near your front door...
I don't know. I use it every day but I could not tell you. It's obviously a very underwhelming colour.
I've always hankered for a nice pistacio green one...maybe I'll treat myself once I start work.
MD I phoned Wilson today (because I love the purse I have & the style) they tell me there is a gorgeous lime green one coming in in September! Just a thought. xxx
I have a classic LV wallet atm...but I reallllly don't like it, I find it very impractical for reciepts, lots of cards etc. I have my eye on a nice black JAG wallet, as I just got a gorgeous red leather JAG handbag that I am in love with!
Oooh lime green!! Noice. Though I'd think of our very own Lime Slice everytime I pulled it out :lol:
Ryn, best stone I know for financial abundance is citrine, it's sort of clear yellowy colour. Although I reckon jade would be good. You could put a small piece in your wallet but in feng shui terms I reckon a big chunk would work better :lol:.
Citrine ... i have a piece in my money pig :):
Inanna, what is it about the folded money? Is it something to do with cutting your money in half?
I always used to have a larger purse so my notes were flat but I have switched to a smaller one & they have to be folded.... bugger cause I like the smaller one.
... that's what mine is a pretty LIME green shade ;), as i'm not a huge fan of green - LIME green is about the only green i like :thumbsup::
OK, my purse is mint green and soft leather... and WAAAAY too big. I can just get a £20 note in there without folding but I'm used to small purses. Too many slots for cards too. I don't have enough! Even if I put my drivers license in (don't do that btw: if someone steals your bag they have your keys and your address). It has a clasp and opens up to the cards, left side has a pocket for tucking notes in and right side has a purse on the side, but you have to undo the clasp to get to the purse. Photo spot bottom right corner (DS passport pic atm).
Going to put my yellowy stone for money in my purse too.
i love Gucci, esprit wallet
Coincidentally, I changed to a big geen purse and received a cheque for £200 the next week. I think I'm sticking with this one for a bit!
... YAY LZ :dance: ... too funny cause since buying my green wallet/purse only this June i have had not one but two small wins in the lottery :D:
Thanks heaps Inanna for the feng shui suggestion in buying a GREEN WALLET :thumbsup:
