Louis Vuitton Wapity Case


I have always loved the Vuitton Wapity Case. I believe one year, I even bought one for my mother, allowing her to carry a few essentials while she wanders through the mall, while leaving her handbag in the car.

Something about this little case feels very 1970s Chic European Tourist, no? Is that a good thing?

I suppose I could use this as a camera case or just another "Small Leather Good", tucked into the bag that I carry every day. But, what I am wondering is if I would dare to use it on its own. Because I drive a Vespa, I carry quite a few keys and in my slim jeans and slim jackets, the keys + money clip + iphone + Burt's Bees Lip Balm get a bit cumbersome. Why are Vespa keys so HUGE? When I go out at night, I don't carry any other bag, so the awkward and uncomfortable keys keep bothering me.

So, I know that I am a huge proponent of Manbags. But, I have never considered a Man Clutch. Can I pull it off? Should I even try? On the French version of www.vuitton.com, this item is included in the Men's Small Leather Goods section, while being relegated to the Women's department of the US version. Does that mean that only a European man can pull it off?

I have read that Kanye West carries one attached to his belt in the Murakami Multi Color design. Is Kanye a style icon for me? Well, once in a while.

I promise not to place it on the table when I am out for dinner. Polite opinions please.
