Vera Bradley Turn Lock Wallet Review

So I finally decided it was time to upgrade to a larger wallet, after having my kisslock all summer.  I looked at every possible wallet for days and finally landed on the turn lock wallet.  I've glanced at this wallet before, but always written it off as too big for me.  Lately, my little kiss lock was busting at the seams and carrying around all of my little loyalty rewards cards in my zip ID was becoming a pain when I would have to dig around just to find what I was looking for.  I figured the turn lock would still be a little too big for me, but at least everything would be more organized.  To my surprise, I completely filled up the turn lock wallet, and actually had to double up in a few card slots.  This wallet seems way too big at first, but once you put your entire life into it, it actually fits just right.  I've been using this wallet for a few days now and I cannot imagine living my life without it.  I'm still going to use my kisslock wallet for when I carry a smaller bag, but I think the majority of my wallet time will be spent with my beautiful turn lock wallet.

 

My beautiful turn lock wallet in Canyon

I actually really love this new color and I see myself picking up a few other things in it.

 

The turn lock

The turn lock makes this wallet easy to get in and out of and you don't have to fight with a magnet or worry about the magnet ripping the fabric.

 

 

 

The front compartment opens up to 6 credit card slots, and 2 ID windows.  The numerous slots make finding whatever card you need a breeze.

 

 

These little windows are so easy to slide your ID in and out of.  Most wallets put a fight anytime you need your ID, but not this one. 

 

 

 

This wallet also has several areas for your cash, one being behind the window slots.  I think this could also be used for your checkbook if you really wanted to, but

1. I do not carry checks and

2. I think the checkbook would bulk up the wallet a little bit and while this wallet is large, it's very flat and easy to fit inside of almost any bag.  I carried this inside of my Hipster today and I didn't experience any problems.



 

There's another expandable area behind the credit card slots, same exact size as this one.

 

The turn lock wallet also has a large zipper compartment that houses 6 more card slots and yet another expandable "cash slot." (I call it cash slot because the length is the perfect size for money, but you could really put anything in here) I can even fit my iPhone inside of this wallet, and zip it up and it's not bulky at all.  This comes in handy if you just need to run in and out really fast and not necessarily want to grab your entire bag.

 



 

 Where I keep my cash

I decided to put my cash here because it was in the zipper compartment and I just felt it was more secure for me.

 

 

Back View

The change pocket for this wallet is found on the back and this is a pretty large change pocket compared to others I've seen.

 

 

I also like that the interior fabric is dark since change sometimes tends to be dirty :-(

 

While there are several other wallets in this size range, I just felt this wallet appealed to my needs the most, and I was so right! I love this wallet and I'm already planing to get it in Go Wild, come spring time.
