My New LV

My current obsession has been wallets and small purses. This wallet is the newest addition to my collection.
Louis Vuitton Zippy Coin Purse Monogram Empreinte in Orient. (wow, what a mouthful!)

::why this wallet::
Originally, I wanted to find a cherry red wallet, but once I set my eyes on this blood orange zippy, I almost immediately changed my mind. I decided to keep looking in case I found something else, but I couldn't stop thinking about it. In the past few months I've gone to see this particular zippy a couple of times at the LV store (sounds like a stalker, right?) At my lowest point, I've tried to find replacement and have made a few purchases along the way hoping that they would satisfy me. But before I knew it, this was the only thing on my mind. Despite eM's disapproval, I just had to have it. On June 10th, I finally bite the bullet and purchased this beauty on their website.

::on the outside::
The leather feels really nice and durable with its gold metal hardware complementing the red leather beautifully. Overall, I find this a very elegant piece that is both simple and captivating at the same time.

::on the inside::
I am delightfully surprised at how much fits in such a compact wallet. There are 4 credit card slots, 2 pockets, 1 business card slot in the middle and 2 large compartments. In my case, I am able to fit 8 credit cards/id cards, a couple of folded bills, some coins, my car insurance paper and still have room for receipts and transit tokens.

::the question::
Is it worth the $700CAD price tag that it came with? Unfortunately, I cannot answer it honestly right now since I've only had this for about a week and I am still in my love-struck phase. As of now, I've really enjoyed this pop of colour in my purse and the smile it brings to my lips every time I see it. :)
