Such a pretty wallet! I do not believe that I have ever heard anybody review one before, so it's a huge bonus for me. I have never been able to justify luxury wallet purchases, I feel they are so expensive, however I have been looking at the Hermes key holder, have you seen it? If so what are your thoughts?!
It is a gorgeous wallet! And pretty functional. I'm with you on justifying the expensive purchase, which is why I probably will not be adding any luxury wallets to my collection any time soon. I have seen the key holder that looks like the Bearn card wallet. It is soooo cute! But if you have a lot of keys, or if you have a bulky car key, I don't think they will all fit inside, you'd have to keep your keys outside of the pouch. If you're ok with dangly keys, then I think it's a useful piece to carry a couple of cards and your keys together :)
I really enjoyed your indepth review of this wallet. I am trying to decide between this one, the Hermes Clic 12 wallet, and the Hermes Silk' In compact wallet to go with my new Picotin 18. I do carry cash, coins, and about 8 cards all the time. Which do you recommend? By the way, I'm a new subscriber! Thanks!
Cindy Lai I don’t have the H Clic 12 wallet nor the Silk’in compact wallet, but based on photos these are my thoughts: the clic 12 looks gorgeous and with that clasp? So classy 😍 however given the amount of items you tend to fit in your wallet, I fear the trifold style might not be best for you - if the wallet gets too bulky with the amount of cash or cards, what if it doesn’t clasp shut? Now looking at the compact bearn vs silk’in, I think that depends on whether you prefer a full zip style or not. I personally find it cumbersome to have to open the zip all the way around, but it could provide some additional security. I couldn’t see a dedicated cash slot in the silk’in, so you may have to reduce how much cash you carry. I personally love the compact bearn and think it would suite your needs! It has a lot of compartments and fits a lot 😉💕 thank you for joining the community! 🙏🏻
Cindy Lai I have the Silk'In Compact wallet, and I think it's really pretty; I think you could double up the cards (which in general I'm not a fan of) or you could use the six card slots and put two cards in one of the two bigger compartments, in the other one you could put your cash (you would have to fold it once, maybe with very large notes twice). It has a dedicated coin section in the middle; you for sure can put some coins inside of this compartment, but it could become bulky (I always use a Bastia for coins and put a separate key in this compartment). The Béarn... I fell in love with it at the latest after this review, ordered it online in the beautiful Rose Confetti colour - and was afraid to use it, since Rose Confetti is even a brighter pink than Rose Lipstick (funny side note: I'm pretty much the "Queen of Ivory/ Craie / Vanilla / whatever you want to call it handbags", never got one stain on them - and yet I was afraid to get the leather tab of the Béarn wallet dirty 😂!). So I sent it back (the hardest return I ever made) and am considering this in Black with Rose Gold Hardware (I actually think it's kind of a waste buying black with the colour range Hermès offers, but I think with this leather tab, it maybe is the best option 🤔...); but concerning your needs, I agree with @myclosettravels , it would very probably offer you enough space for your items. The Clic 12. Oh boy. There is not one single review of this on UA-cam (well, at least not in English), and you can find, I don't know, maybe six pictures on Instagram? I wish someone would review this one, because I find it really beautiful as well 🤷🏻♀️...
Hi Thalia! Thank you so much for your input. I really appreciate it! The rebel in me decided to go for the less common wallet which is the Clic 12 mainly because I like the front clasp. It reminds me of the front of the Hermes padlock. This wallet comfortably holds 5 cards in the slots and then there is an additional slit pocket right behind the coin zip pocket which can hold more cards. I actually wanted the Silk In Compact wallet, but was unable to find a medium or dark blue one. I got impatient and went for the more expensive Clic 12. I could have bought almost 3 Silk In Compact wallets for 1 Clic wallet! Enjoy your black Bearn wallet! It is pretty in all the colors!
@@cindyl3842 Thank you so much for more information about the Clic 12, Cindy! I'm very glad it works out for you 😊! Yes, the price point of the Clic 12 and the Béarn wallet is definitely higher than that of a Silk'In; I suppose because it's all leather (so a little bit more sturdy) and more hardware is used with these wallets. I haven't actually decided (the Béarn, I would have to order from the Parisian website, we practically have none on the European website (and the amount of certain products is limited on the Parisian website, so you can only buy a certain amount of SLGs, for example), whereas the Clic 12 is available in many colours on the European website (and Yes, I would bravely skip the Rose Sakura AND the Rose Azalée and would go for Gris Étain with Rose Gold Hardware 😉 😂!) The Clasp is really amazing, I like the closure on the Clic 12 and the Béarn wallet 😍! I actually wanted to look for an SA, probably in Munich, this year (quite frankly, I didn't expect to like so many items from Hermès, it all started with a Bastia 😂); but because of this stupid pandemic, I haven't been to Munich (where my apartment is 😞) once, so online shopping is the only way right now 🤷🏻♀️... Cindy, would you mind to send me some pictures of your wallet, maybe if you have Instagram? Would love to see it filled before I buy it, that way I could compare it with the Béarn I returned... Ok, heading to bed now, in Germany, it's 3.49 a.m. 😉! Have a lovely evening, you two, hope to "meet" you soon 😘💕!
Hello. I just found your video and absolutely love it. I just want to ask if you think Bearn compact would be a good use for a guy who tends to not carry bags with him?
I recently purchased a #mirbags luxury wallet and I have to say, it's one of the best investments I've ever made. The quality and attention to detail are truly outstanding.
Wow you covered everything, thanks so much!!❤
Glad it was helpful!
Gorgeous wallet! Amazing color! Love your green dress😍
Thanks for sharing and thumbs up

Thanks for the review. I want one but maybe in gold or étoupe. My store doesn’t have any colours that I want in stock.
Amanda Au-Yeung thanks for watching 💕 it is a gorgeous wallet - keep checking and they may have one come in soon 🙏🏻

Beautiful wallet. Thanks for the review.
Sherry Cohen thank you for watching! 💕
Hello. I just found your video and absolutely love it. I just want to ask if you think Bearn compact would be a good use for a guy who tends to not carry bags with him?
Personally I think it is a bit thick to fit comfortably in your pants or jacket pocket. If you are used to it, then it would be fine! ✨
Lovely wallet! Great review!
Pearl B thank you for your kind words💕
Great wallet, Perfect for smaller bags. Great review
Monique Sinha yes it is! It does not make me want another wallet 💕

@ *Niceshopx* Every time I see this bag I can't help but stop here.
