So I've been carrying a regular Fendi men's billfold with 8 card slots for about 4 years now. The problem I am facing is that all my cards breaks into two even when I put it in my front pocket. The other problem is, it gets really dusty inside after a day or two from the lint or whatnots inside my jeans pocket. And the corner tips of the wallet gets folded in and the whole wallet gets bend all out of shape. The size is also another problem. Its not oversized or anything but I would prefer smaller due to insufficient pocket space where I have to share with big phones nowadays I'm thinking of getting a LV zippy coin purse as a replacement. I know it's a girl's purse but I think it can solve all my problems above. First, its small size and it has a zipper which keeps the wallet/purse from dust. Second, it doesnt have card slots but you practically put your whole stack of cards into it. Well it does have 3 separate compartments which you can separate all your cards nicely. The advantage is that cards stacked together will not bend or break easily. It fits more than 10 cards and some RM notes which is enough for my usage. No more bend wallets with donkey ears corners Your thoughts on this? This post has been edited by idoblu: Dec 30 2019, 08:16 AM |

Alternatively remove all cards into a card holder. And save you some money getting a new wallet. Btw sissy or not is not for us to judge. You know for yourself. Cheers.

honestly i never have any problems of card breaking in half even when im using the cheap ol' pasar malam short wallet.
even used LV short wallet with loads of card still ok till i lost it (still bitter till today) nowdays im using a long wallet and always at the back of my pocket and not a single one of my card breaks. unless ure shoving everything inside ur wallet i dont see the card will break easily. just do some cleaning once a while and throw away any of the receipt that u keep inside the wallet or keep some unused card some where else. |

Cards are in their respective slots. So far 4 of my cc cards are breaking into half. My one atm card is holding. And they all break right at the top or bottom of the numbers where the weakest links are This post has been edited by idoblu: Dec 6 2019, 09:47 AM |

if you love it = buy it
there is no right or wrong.. what matters most is you love it that's why you buy to me I feel that chanel design or even just the brand recognition is leaning more towards the feminine side therefore more suitable for female users but like you said "Fark it, I'm gonna carry a girl's purse instead" so why bother right? |

No more bend wallets with donkey ears corners Here is how it looks like - Dimensions - 7.5 x 10.5 x 2 cm [attachmentid=10369290] Sissy or not? Please comment your thoughts on this. Now I have a wallet that has 2 big pockets which can fit about 4 cards each. They are all stacked together and are aligned when the wallet is folded. Nothing else in the wallet like coins that can create a pressure point to break the cards. |

there are wallets where u can stack cards into 1 compartment...so no chance of them bending etc...of cos that also just makes the wallet thicker.
