Melbourne Croc Embossed Leather Card Wallet

I love Brahmin bags but had been waiting to get a wallet. I've always like this style or similar but had been putting off actually purchasing this one. I did and I'm satisfied with it but not overjoyed. A tend to fall in the middle of wallet side - I carry a lot of cards but not a lot of paper. This one is nice because unlike some others, there are two sides to put cards in and two straps. The downside is that the snaps stick out a little if you use all of the card slots. Also, I am keeping an eye on the ID-side strap as it attaches to the plastic and looks like it might pull. Also, on the other side the strap is actually sewn to the leather rather than into the seam. I am hoping it will not pull as bad when the leather softens up, I've been using it for about a week so far and haven't seen much of a change. My only complaint would be...why have so many card slots if the straps pull when you use all of them? Still a great wallet, but could be better. Not quite up to the same standards of their handbags.

This credit card wallet is just the right size for your id and a couple of essential cards. It's true that you have to fold dollars to place in the zipper compartment. Every time I pull this out someone sees it and tells me how cute it looks. I really think it has a unique look and quality about it and it fits nicely in my smallest Brahmin bag. Color is very rich and it seems to be pretty well made as it has retained its original shape and I have used it daily. Nice buy!

I was anticipating using my new Brahmin credit card wallet since I have a couple of Brahmin purses. I've used a Lodis credit card wallet for years. It was time to replace it. I'm disappointed in this design even though I'm a great Brahmin fan. When both sides are full, the wallet is bulky. Can't fold a dollar bill in half. Found the problem. The Brahmin wallet is 1/2" shorter than the Lodis. Also, the tab and snap on the ID card side almost hides your ID picture. Think they might rethink this design. I'lll be watching since I love a credit card wallet.
