I knew that while I was in New York, I was going to look for a new wallet. My old Marc by Marc Jacobs one is now about five-years-old, and while it's in relatively good shape, it's just getting a little tired and perhaps a bit scuffed up. Now, because I don't often buy wallets, I decided it was something worth splurging on, and I had allotted a certain amount of money in my budget for such a purchase. (Not for, say, a Balenciaga Town bag or a Miu Miu Vitello Lux bag like I wanted.) My mom and I were walking around Soho, so I had stopped by many designer boutiques to look at their wallets, and ended up deciding between the Mulberry Cookie Long Locked Wallet, the Marc Jacobs Hudson Wallet, and the Miu Miu Matelassé Lock Wallet. As you will have guessed by now, the Miu Miu ultimately won out.

They had several colour options, but I ended up deciding on black shiny calfskin leather with brass hardware. Classic with an edge, and in a colour that I won't regret. The price tag sort of totally made me cringe as I had never bought any designer items that were not on sale before, but I figure I will use it for years to come, so the cost per use will be low...
I'm totally in love with it.
