I can absolutely recommend buying this wallets. I like elongated great ladies purses not particularly: they are too big and bulky to me. This wallet has just the right size for me. I have always with you: a little loose change (outside the coin pocket), a few bills (s), 6 cards (inside) and my Card Ticket (outside the window), plus small items like a stamp, plectrum and Einkaufschip (inside). So the wallet fits in any purse (except in a small clutch). I also think it's great that they can be closed by a zipper: it falls nothing out and does not go on. And the brown leather I find very chic!
