Not that I need another wallet (when is it about need anyway?) but I have been looking at this for a few days now and can not decide whether or not to get it. I just love the color and of course the woven karung leather wallet will last through all the beating my wallets go through but I am concerned about the length of the wallet. I have many wallets I never use because of the size; my Hermes H calf leather wallet is too long to fit in my smaller bags and my Hermes Dogon wallet in Blue jean is the size of an agenda so I only use it for travel. I have two other wallets from Chanel that I don't use because one is too big and one is too small. (I just realized I sound like Goldilocks!) I actually love my current Bottega leather wallet because it fits in to even the smallest pochettes but there are not enough currency pockets for me. I like several long pockets to stash checks, dollars and foreign currency. One for receipts is nice too, which this gray one has but then we go back to the question: is it too long for my smaller bags? I guess I could be totally anal and change wallets with each bag but seriously, who has time for that? What about the guilt I have for owning so many wallets and not using them- how can I possibly buy another wallet? So for now, I will just admire this gorgeous wallet from afar and hope that Santa solves my dilemma and puts it in my stocking for me because I don't have to feel guilty about a gift do I?

I love it! It also has tons of CC slots which is totally useful. I am slightly peeved that a lot of wallets don't have coin slots nowadays though... those of use who live in the city need coins for parking!
it's beautiful, but you should limit yourself to one french and one continental per season.
Limit myself? James- are you a spy sent by my husband? :)
The wallet is nice,but isn´t it a stress to keep changing the purse all the time according to what bag you will be wearing this day or tomorrow?
This is on my list as well, it's gorgeous!
omg i've been drooling over this wallet for the past month! i shouldn't be surprised that it's featured on bagsnob;)
i say get it! it's absolutely beautiful.
Bottega Veneta - perfect as always.
so subtly glamorous, and so beautifully luxurious
I love it
i would never buy that. do you drive bagsnob? cos if you do you should know that a clear plastic slot for ID is crucial in a wallet. $770? hello, you could get 2 anya clutches for that money plus a few bucks to spare.
