I like how you said that these things are to be used since you paid so much for it. it is true! But gosh...i would definitely baby it during the first month too. LOVE IT!
it's so gorgeous!! i was lucky enough to acquire this wallet recently and i'm in love, the camellia is beautiful and the lambskin is so lovely. great review - your videos are so enjoyable. thanks so much!!
i've only had it for about 2 weeks, so i'm in that - omg, it's sooo gorgeous stage, but i usually just pop it in the zip part of my gst, or if i use the classic flap just popped right in, i mostly carry an evelyn bag for day to day and b/c the interior is almost suede, i don't want little bits of leather on the wallet so i put it in a zip-lock plastic then in the purse - i know, a little bit CRAY...
OMG, I just found we have a lot in common. I have the same wallet as yours but mine is the Bifold Flap with SHW. I have been using it for like 6 months and I put my wallet in a dust bag all the time (I requested the dust bag, as the small leather goods don't come with dust bags, which doesn't make sense, even the shoes come with 2 dust bags!) This is my first ever lambskin wallet I just want it to have a clean/ scratch free surface since I am very picky. And for that price, I want it to last for decades! I don't use the coin slot at the back (instead, all my loyalty cards go there ) because the coins will smell so bad over the years and the interior fabric will become dirty very easily and quickly, so I put all my coins in my key pouch. Lambskin is just too hard to deal with, so I baby mine very often, so my wallet is still in a perfect condition!
LOL I know! I'm still really careful with mine as well. Each time i try to tell myself to be casual with it, I fail miserably. Sigh. I guess only after the first few scratches (god forbid) will I give up babying it.
I have the camellia in the zip around, and also am still being really careful. The first thing I did was line the coin compartment with the cellophane from a birthday card, so at least no worries about that part getting dirty !
Love the wallet and a great review. The inside colour is beautiful. My only concern is that is doesn't have a popper closure which I prefer. I can't get away with thinking the wallet could come open in my bag if it's not packed tightly against something. I have a vintage caviar bi fold wallet which is perfect but will eventually need a new one and I just wish Chanel would do this style with a popper tab.
hey there! yes i can see your concern, esp if you pack the wallet up. They do have this style in the french wallet (it has a button snap strip) or the zip around. I did see those in stores back then!
Thanks for your reply. I do keep looking at the web site and checking the different styles. I may have to go with one of then as I just love Chanel. I do fancy a new one instead of another vintage, which I could get but I just so want the pale interior this time.x
I have this exact wallet too! I don't baby it at all. It's perfection! I also bought it after retiring my other wallet after five years! What a funny coincident!
lol! I guess this means a wallet has about a 5 year life span? My sister was just telling me how she wants to change her burberry wallet and we realised she has used it for 5 years too!
I think the life of a wallet depends on the materials. My coach wallet (also lambskin) is in great condition. I just wanted the Chanel wallet more since I was bored of my Coach. :P
Hi again. So I purchased this wallet in the silver mainly as thats all the boutique had but I still love it. I do have another question if you don't mind. How have your credit card slots held up. I have noticed that as the leather is really soft and the lining is a slim material. as you try to put cards back into the card slots. it seems to be pulling the lining away from the leather!!! Do you find that? I would love to see another updated review after you have used it for a longer time. x
Hello Susannah, I've been using my Chanel card case as my wallet for now. With 2 kids, i'm finding it hard to use such a large wallet so its sitting pretty in the closet for now! Thank you for watching!
Can i ask if the sliver hardware camelia wallet interior is black or sliver in colour or is there two colours actually? I saw online (seems authentic as the serial code and authenticity card is the same) that the interior is black in colour. Pls help!
sorry, 1 more thing... i always have used a separate coin purse, i found that my bastia coin purse actually slips right in behind the zipper part of this wallet, if i want to be carrying only 1 item - i'm sure any small flat one would also work that way and it left no indent of any kind.
Hello Sherin Ng, thank you for showing us your chanel collection! I love the camilia print;-) have the woc and a smaler wallet...thank you for Show your experience, greetings from europe! a new subscriber ;-)
Hi there! Yes it does, and it fits nicely, but it will take up half your mini flap! (I think i can only squeeze in my phone, a lipstick and powder compact)
hello minghui, hope you can see the reply here as your comment cannot be replied to. The one i saw had a silver interior. However i'm not sure if they ever came out with a black interior version. Please ask the experts at Purseforum for authentication!
Hello Dear! I am a new subscriber! I just want to say that you're doing such a wonderful job with your reviews and videos! keep up the good work and I really look forward to your next video!!! :)
Great review! I particularly liked how you added in the part of how you'd carry the wallet in different bags.
I like how you said that these things are to be used since you paid so much for it. it is true! But gosh...i would definitely baby it during the first month too. LOVE IT!
hahaha yes, usually I give up babying the item after the first year :) thank you!
it's so gorgeous!! i was lucky enough to acquire this wallet recently and i'm in love, the camellia is beautiful and the lambskin is so lovely. great review - your videos are so enjoyable. thanks so much!!
yay! wallet twins then! How do you keep it in your bag?? I'm curious!
i've only had it for about 2 weeks, so i'm in that - omg, it's sooo gorgeous stage, but i usually just pop it in the zip part of my gst, or if i use the classic flap just popped right in, i mostly carry an evelyn bag for day to day and b/c the interior is almost suede, i don't want little bits of leather on the wallet so i put it in a zip-lock plastic then in the purse - i know, a little bit CRAY...
Do they still sell these I store? I can’t see them online. It’s so beautiful 😍

Great review & I love the design on the purse!

Hi Sherin, do you think this wallet will fit my Celine Nano Luggage?
I like your Chanel reviews. Will you be making more?
This is just the most beautiful wallet - love the camellia design. Great review x0x0x0x
Love your review! Your wallets are stunning! Wishing you a wonderful day xoxo
Thank you! I'm such a fan of your channel :) heh thanks for commenting!

Can you make a review of the Silver one please!
Great review huni and such a pretty wallet.
Thank you! :) heh
does your camellia wallet fit inside a mini rectangular w ease??
Great review! I love the Camellia wallet. Are you still loving it? It is beautiful - wish they still did the soft gold colour - only silver now.

michelle haywood wow! thanks for the recommendation, definitely need to look into that :) lol about the zip-lock. but I totally understand !!!
I wonder if they make that wallet in an electric blue color. The black is such a classic.
They did in patent! Not sure about lambskin though, I saw a red lambskin option back then as well.
How much was the camellia wallet and what's is the code?
Hello Sherin Ng, thank you for showing us your chanel collection! I love the camilia print;-) have the woc and a smaler wallet...thank you for Show your experience, greetings from europe! a new subscriber ;-)
