Carmine Bottega Veneta Wallet

The smell of a brand new leather good is so divine.

What makes me love this wallet even more? It’s painted a glorious blood-red shade.

I have no idea when this fatal fascination with red started. But I have 2 wallets and 2 coin pouches in red. My moleskin is red. And my first Iphone casing is red.

I purchased this item from the infamous Reebonz.  Remember one of my earlier post on the company? Do just follow the link to sign up to be a member!

It looks way much better in person than in the online photos.

Although, I do have to say that this wallet is definitely extremely delicate. I have to baby it by putting it in a pouch, for fear of it being scratched - a far cry from my hardy LV french wallet.

The wallet comes with 8 card slots - cards have to be slotted in and taken out gingerly, and a tiny zip pouch. It has only one slot for bills.

I was really surprised that this item was not snapped up within the first hour of its listing. It was only after 30 minutes of pondering that I decided to get it - but I need to count my lucky stars, because it was the last piece!
