Cleobella bring us a taste of the south with this pretty hand-tooled Mexicana wallet.
This is the kind of purse I can imagine vendors selling in the streets of Tijuana. Of course, if you were buying one at the markets you could likely haggle the price down below the $160 Cleobella asks, but if you’re not lucky enough to visit Mexico this wallet is a relatively affordable substitute.
I also think it’s a great way to enjoy such a vibrant shade of pink. Even if you’re not confident enough to carry a large purse in such a lurid shade, you’ll likely warm to this. You can hide it away in your more sensible handbag most of the time after all!
Personally though I think I’d carry the Mexicana clutch style and show off that gorgeous hand-tooling. It really is beautiful, and the whip-stitching around the side only adds to its ethnic appeal.
It doesn’t have the space of a clutch, but if you only need to carry coins and cards it’ll do the job. Offering only five card slots is probably a bit stingy, but four full-length pockets, four receipt pockets, and three zippered pouches is very generous.
If this bright pink shade is too sugary for your tastes, you can also find this wallet in black and lime green.
