ode to my wallet
Apr. 6th, 2005 11:53 amI have had my Fossil wallet for at least 5 years now. It is black and soft and leather and I love it. It has one of those clasped coin purses, with a silver clasp. The shape is cute, and I like the snap-close, fold-over front flap. But, the ID window has gotten so loose that my ID falls out. The leather is wearing through where it touches the metal coin purse frame, and now the leather piece that serves as one wall of the coin pocket has disengaged itself in such a way that all the coins (and stitch markers, and other things I put in the coin section) fall out. Scanning it doesn't really do it justice, but that's what I have access to in my office:


Of course, the wallet was discontinued some time ago, which means I am on the hunt for a new wallet. I have not yet found anything on eBags that I love (I ordered one from there, but I think I'm going to send it back. The leather isn't soft enough, and it's a little too big). So I'm saving my wallet statistics here, so that I can keep surfing for a suitable replacement. It is 4.25" wide x 4" tall. Opened, it's about 7" long, plus the length of the fold-over flap. It has 6 credit card pockets, a bill compartment, a divided coin purse, and an ID window on the outside. If anyone else has suggestions for a suitable replacement, they are welcomed.
