I’ve always favoured the Zippy Coin Purse as my wallet of choice whenever I need something small and compact, and there’s no denying how small it is. Measuring around 11 cm by 8 cm, there are only 4 slots inside, along with another in the middle, as well as two slightly roomier compartments.

It’s also not the type of wallet you’ll want to stuff everything else in, receipts, redemption/discount cards, the guy’s number you got at the club three months ago. Keeping it slim and tight will almost require military precision (and loads of discipline), which also probably means it will only appeal to those with minor OCD.

I would know, I have a trio of them myself. Available in almost every permutation you can find, there are purses in Damier Azur, Epi, Monogram Canvas, Vernis, the list just goes on and on.

And now these, in Monogram Idylle, available in Fusain (shown above), Encre and Sepia. Retailing for SGD495, I think they are also the cheapest of all the ZCPs you’ll find at Louis Vuitton, which technically makes it a great entry-level piece if budget is an issue.
