From the house of Comme des Garçons comes this gorgeous wallet, an accessory which combines understated elegance with individual style.
The first thing to catch your eye is that vibrant red color. There’s really no missing the scarlet shade! These days red is almost regarded as a neutral anyway, but if it’s a little lurid for you that’s no problem. It’s also available in white and an appropriate Irish green.
The leather is embossed with circles and Ireland’s symbol, the clover. Unlike Comme des Garçon’s butterfly wallet, this design is minimalistic and chic. It’s touted as a women’s wallet, but I can imagine it being just as popular amongst men.
The exterior is lovely, but the inside is a little disappointing for serious shoppers. The billfold compartment is convenient, and I like the coin compartment with its secure snap closure. But did Rei Kawakubo really think four credit card slots would satisfy any woman?
This purse is also available in a large size, with more credit slots and a handy pen holder to boot. Of course, that takes the retail value from $185 to $325! Ouch! If you can afford the extra cash, you’ll be happier later. But the rest of may have to cut back on the cards if we want that cool Comme des Garçons look!
