So, I own NOTHING LV. I am eyeing the "zippy compact wallet", likely in EPI since I don't like logos on things like that. Does anyone carry this wallet?
I just downsized from a beast of a wallet from TUMI, that was absolutely amazingly well made and worth way more than they charge for the leather quality and craftsmanship. I love the wallet, it's just absolutely ridiculously huge. I am trying to downsize across the board and while I prefer long wallets, I think I just need something long enough for bills without folding them. I bought a few "wristlet" style wallets and all were returned.
Currently I am carrying a really beautifully made (gorgeous leather!) wallet from Roots of Canada. I think if it was like 1" shorter, it would probably be even better for space.

I came across the LV Zippy Compact Wallet while poking for more options, and while the price made me almost die at my desk, because it's double what I spent on even my most expensive bag at full price! But it looks like one I could use as long or longer than the Tumi (I would still be using that thing til I die if I wanted to carry something that huge still!) and would work in smaller bags much more easily than the Roots wallet which is almost 8" long closed. I value quality and will pay for quality. I have a birthday in a few weeks, and while I STILL haven't gone anywhere on the DBTY necklace or ring situation with my rubies (since I can't make a decision I have been paralyzed and haven't progressed!) that isn't for my Bday anyway. That's a "you're making cleaning progress (NO I AM NOT) and anniversary gift (10 years married, 12 not killing each other!)
Besides the pricetag, I also don't LOVE the colors LV offers it in, but I might not mind the fuschia if it leans purple. I prefer blue, green and purples/eggplant. I don't want their canvas, I honestly find it hideous.
Anyway--any input? Anyone know of anything similar, in a similar size? I don't want anything too small, I don't want anything longer than this LV one. But the amount of slots is a big thing for me. I don't carry a ton of CCs but I have my insurance cards and any spare odds and ends in slots.
