Wristlet Bliss

[babyengineer]

Finding the perfect wristlet can be difficult especially when "wristlet" sizes are so deceptively different (regardless of the manufacturer's stated dimensions)!

May my perfect wristlet quest (picture) lead you onto the path of wristlet bliss! :)

TOP ROW
Coach in Off-White Suede: 7" x 3.5"
Fleurville in Pink Stripe: 6.25? x 4?

MIDDLE ROW
Coach in Black Leather: 7.5" x 4.25"
Loom Watermelon in Red & Turquoise Canvas: 8" x 5"

BOTTOM ROW
Fleurville Escape Pod in Red Canvas: 11" x 6" x 2.25"
Timi & Leslie in Mia: 9" x 5.25"

Best regards,
Lynn

Lynn, that white suede Coach one is SO cute!

I think my fave all-purpose clutch is the Loom Watermelon. I use a lot of cosmetic bags to organize my bags. Some of my fave cosmetic bags are Chester cosmetics, Haiku cosmetic/clutch, and my Dobre Goods Clutch. The Chester ones in particular are cool because they have pockets inside, not to mention they're super cute. :)

Mariana,

Once again, your vast knowledge and experience regarding all things baby--diaper bags, strollers, and now wristlets--is becoming a financial burden to me! LOL ;)

Best regards,
Lynn...who must now own a Chester cosmetic bag AND Haiku clutch in order to feel complete....

Just do what I do, sell off some bags you're not using right now to fund your new ones! If memory serves, most of my "old" (read: 2 weeks old and I got bored with the color) bags end up at your house. :)

The Haiku one is really super cute and nice!!! I do love my new Posh by Tori one also....really good size for me!

[babyengineer]

Ack! Oh the horror you dare suggest!!! Sell my babies...OUR babies?!!

Well, actually I've sold quite a few; however, I have Priscilla's "Costco Syndrome: buy in bulk". One goes, another two colors takes its place.

You should be so proud to know that I only bought TWO Sling Totes. See? I'm making progress! Now as long as you don't go listing another ST for sale then I'll be okay....

At least you have a legitimate excuse: your HappyDayBaby.com business. Boy, you're a GENIUS! ;)

I can't see the attachment now...says the file is missing! So sad Lynn!

I need a new wristlet...right now I love my Fleurville (pink stripe) and if it were just a little bigger it would be perfect!

Best,
Mary

I dont own any wristelets (just yet!!)

But just wanted to say thanks to Lynn for her pics and info and to Mariana for as always, her vast knowledge of the baby product world!!

Lynn you are too funny, your posts crack me up!

[lmariana]

I think some of the linked files may have been "lost" in the server move/upgrade last night. Maybe Lynn can repost it?

A picture is worth a thousand words or at least in my case lots of new wristlets.

HTH,
Lynn...who has decided "Wristlet Bliss" is simply not enough--must research "Wristlet Nirvana" now: Chester, Haiku, Dobre???

Mariana,could you describe the Chester ones more? Which size are you talking about and what are the pockets like? TIA

I just got the ellington catalina wristlet and it has an exterior zip pocket and in the main compartment a little pocket for id or credit cards. It seems to be a very nice size, and with the Ellington 30% discount, you can't go wrong on the price (I got mine on ebags when they had 20% sale + free shipping).

I received the 2-pack cosmetic bag set from their website. They are zippered top close, black interior and two different sizes. The larger one has 3 pockets inside, and the smaller one has one pocket. They are the same laminated vinyl as their bags. Very cute and practical. :)

Mariana- the Chester ones don't have a carry strap, though, right? I also use various sized cosmetic bags to organize my diaper bags . . .

Has anyone used the 2RedHens Peep bag as a wristlet?
