PPC29: Cleo in Black

So…

in our last post I showed you our new slim-profile wallet all dressed up in some gorgeous “cat fabric” from Chong-A Hwang… and today I’m featuring a perfect coordinate.

I’m not quite sure what these floating things are… jelly fish? champagne bubbles? Who knows, but it sure looks good with the Cleo “Cat” fabric!

I’ll tell you more about this fabric at the end of this post and I may even have one more coordinate from this collection to show you in the coming days… time will tell!

But for now…
let’s talk about this sample!

So here’s two interior shots (with the wristlet attached). This time, I chose to picture this wallet with reading glasses inside the wallet (and NOT a cell phone) since carrying both reading glasses and a cellphone is a bit much for this slim wallet. But if you look closely, there’s also room for a pen, eight credit cards (stored on their short edge) a clear vinyl ID holder, and a zippered coin purse.

And actually there’s TWO separate slot pockets for paper money. This may seem like overkill but I carried this Wallet on a recent trip overseas and found that the extra slot pocket was extremely helpful to have for two reasons:

Firstly: a US passport fits perfectly & securely in this slot…
and Secondly: it was so convenient to be able to keep my American Dollars separated from my European Euros.

And here’s two side views because it’s important for you to see how truly THIN this wallet is. It fits easily into almost any standard-sized everyday bag. Even with a pair of reading glasses or a cell phone in the interior (but not both) the Easy Go Wallet is thin and so easy to carry!

And this may be my favorite feature… we’ve included pattern pieces and instructions to make a wrist strap AND /OR a shoulder strap so at a moment’s notice you can take your Easy Go Wallet out of your bag (and leave it home or in the car) and carry it as either a Wristlet Bag or as a Shoulder/Cross Body Bag!

And here’s some additional info you might be interested in….

• Wallet size= 7 3/4″ wide X 5″ tall X 1″
• the projected release date- August 2023

So here’s the two fabrics in the “Cleo” line that we currently carry on our website. The fabric we’ve featured on this post, “Cleo in Black Coordinate” is at left… and we featured the fabric at right, “Cleo”, in this post. As you can see… they coordinate perfectly & beautifully and you can see more details about both of them by going HERE!

And now, it’s YOUR turn!
