Alright, let me walk you through how I ended up with this red Coach wallet. It wasn’t exactly planned, you know?
My old wallet, man, it was beat up. Stitches coming undone, leather looking sad. Had it for years. Finally decided it was time. Didn’t want just any old thing from a department store rack this time. Thought maybe I’d get something a little…nicer? Something that felt solid.
So, I started looking around. Mostly online, scrolling through pages during my downtime. Saw the usual stuff – black, brown, maybe a dark blue. Lots of brands. Some looked okay, some felt overpriced for what they were.
Then I landed on the Coach site. I’ve had a bag from them before, held up pretty well, so I figured, why not check their wallets? Browsed through the men’s section. Again, mostly standard colors. But then this red one popped up. Like, really red.
Making the Call
My first thought was, “Whoa, that’s bright for a guy’s wallet.” Usually, I stick to safer colors. Black, brown, you know the drill. But it kinda stuck in my head. It looked different. Bold, maybe?
I clicked on it, looked at the pictures. Leather looked good, classic bifold design, enough slots for my cards without being bulky. Coach usually has decent quality leather, feels good in the hand. But that color… red. I debated it for a day or two. Showed my wife, she just shrugged and said, “If you like it, get it.” Not much help there, haha.
In the end, I just went for it. Figured life’s too short for boring wallets all the time. Hit the ‘add to cart’ button, went through the checkout. Pretty standard online buying process, nothing tricky.
Getting It and First Use
Package arrived a few days later. Typical Coach box, nice packaging. Pulled it out. Yep, it’s definitely red. Brighter than I even thought, but in a good way. The leather felt smooth, smelled like real leather, which is always a good sign.
Here’s what I did next:
- Emptied out my old busted wallet. Found some old receipts I didn’t need.
- Started putting my cards in the slots. Fit snugly, not too tight, not too loose.
- Put my cash in the bill compartment. Folded nice and flat.
- Slid it into my pocket. Felt about the same size as my old one, maybe a bit slimmer because the leather wasn’t all stretched out yet.
Been using it for a bit now. It’s… noticeable. Pull it out to pay for coffee, and yeah, it’s a red wallet. But I kinda like it. Feels sturdy, does the job, and it’s easy to find if I toss it on the counter. Quality seems solid so far. Holds everything I need without being a brick. So yeah, that’s the story. Went from needing a basic replacement to rocking a bright red Coach wallet. Turned out alright.
