I am obsessed with the chain print so am very happy to see it back in a different but equally gorgeous colour and in a new small leather goods shape.

Word of caution though that generally "the special colours" and the dark colours depicted in the pictures on Saben website is not true to colour as the studio lighting makes them lighter than real life - I knew that from previous experience and was happy to take the risk ordering it online. The real product is 1-2 shades darker blue than the colour I see in the pictures on the website, but what I see in real life is the exact duck egg colour I would imagine.

It is advertised as an alternative to wallet.

It can hold passport and paper notes when travelling.

Its usefulness is limited for me at the moment as I already used the cardholder instead of a wallet for everyday life. As it is a top zip pouch, you need to take 1.5-2cm off the length measurement to fit your phone. My samsung z flip phone with slim case wouldn't even though the listed length is longer than my phone. If the zip comes to near all the way down the perpendicular edge then I would be able to get my phone in but would limit its use as a secure wallet for content/money.

Will be useful for a small non bulky lipstick and small items you keep in handbag if you don't already have the mini gaia pouch but too flat to fit my compact powder case.

So it is designed for its purpose as a wallet like item but just that I didn't fit my needs right now -but still, no…
