My First Chanel Item

I purchased my first Chanel item, at the end of the summer as a birthday gift to myself. I own a Chanel mirror, which I absolutely adore. I wanted a new wallet, and had my eye on the Chanel Quilted Boy Zip All Around Coin Purse wallet, for almost a year! The wallet was purchased from Fashionphile, an online consignment website. The wallet was described as new, which means the item was in excellent condition and rarely used. My wallet came in a small Chanel box, that is just adorable as a décor for a dresser or vanity.

Inside the box, the item was accompanied with the authentication card by Chanel, the  store tags, and a Fashionphile dust bag for the wallet. This is my third time shopping for pre-loved luxury items on Fashionphile. Their descriptions of items are always on point, which is a level of customer service, I really appreciate. Fashionphile has a 90-day layaway program, which allows the shopper to pay for their item in 3 payment installments. The layaway program is not sponsored by a third-party program, and it's strictly Fashionphile. At Fashionphile, you do not have to worry about fake items being sold. Fake items are destroyed at the facility and each bag goes though an intense authentication process by certificated authenticators.

What I love about this wallet, is that it's in the Chanel Boy style with silver hardware. The Caviar leather is smooth with a bit of texture to it. The day I'm ready to purchase my first Chanel handbag, I would like a similar style and hardware, like my wallet.  I'm not sure of the dimensions however, this wallet is small, and it suits my lifestyle just fine. I am able to fit multiple credit cards in this wallet, and each card is easy to slip in and out. I can also store cash in my wallet however, I do have to fold it over to fit. The only negative issue I have with this wallet, is that the zipper is made of plastic. I'm usually very careful with my items however, I do get scared the zip may break one day. Never the less, this is a great introductory piece for someone who wants to start a luxury handbag collection.
