Tory Burch Robinson Chain Wallet Review: 4 items in 1!

When you are a busy professional, you need and want many items in your wardrobe to function multiple ways and be highly versatile. Today, I’m discussing one of my absolute favorite accessories: the Tory Burch Robinson Chain Wallet. The name of this product is misleading because it is more than just a wallet, it is actually 4 items in 1. It acts as a wallet, clutch, shoulder bag, and evening bag!

I’ll highlight 4 reasons why I love this product. Keep reading for my short video to demonstrate all the compartments & how to remove/style the chain!

As I state in my other posts, I have NO sponsorship with Tory Burch. I simply love this product. This post may contain affiliate links; full disclosures HERE.

Why the Tory Burch Robinson Chain Wallet is perfect for busy Professionals

1. 4 in 1: This “wallet” acts as a wallet, clutch, shoulder bag and evening bag!

   1. Wallet: Without the chain, simply place in your larger (work) handbag. I use it as my everyday wallet.
   2. Clutch: Without the chain, carry under your arm for a night out. It is also perfect to finish off a wedding guest outfit!
   3. Shoulder bag: Attach the chain, use the long chain on one shoulder or use the long chain as a crossbody bag. Perfect for running errands without the weight of a large tote or handbag.
   4. Evening bag: Attach the chain, cross the chain into an “X” and place the fabric/leather portion inside the wallet, now snap close. Now you have the chains doubled. Perfect for a nice dress or night out without the fear of leaving it behind (compared to a clutch). See video for how to cross the chain.

2. Capacity: Large capacity to hold your necessities

   1. Recommend: Please watch the video to visually see all the compartments (I forgot to tell you a few items I place into each section, so read here!)
   2. 1 Large Zipper Compartment: Coins, Cash (for security I like zipping it up), Gum
   3. 16 Card Slots: 4 card slots x4 locations. Plenty of room to hold your ID(s), Credit card(s), Reward cards(s), Business card(s), etc.
   4. 2 Large Compartments: Perfect for receipts, tissue/Kleenex or other paper items
   5. 2 Middle Large Compartments: Here is where you’ll place your phone (my iPhone 6 fits with my thin case), car key, house key, and lipstick or lip gloss.
   6. Back Pocket: Tissue/Kleenex or other paper items
   7. Magnetic Snap Closure: Secure your items. Living in a city like Los Angeles (especially after growing up in a suburban Midwest city), I do worry about security with my wallet at times. Having both the zippered pocket & this snap closure on this Tory Burch Robinson Chain Wallet eases my concerns.

3. Quality/Classic Style: Leather & Gold chain

   1. Leather: Patent or Saffiano Leather. I chose the patent version of this wallet but the Saffiano leather is also excellent because it is high-quality and scratch-resistant. The patent version is more “wipeable” I believe so water or other liquid spills are no concern. With the newer Saffiano leather, the product can be treated with Leather Protectant Spray (I recommend this one from Nordstrom) whereas patent leather cannot be treated with this spray.
   2. Gold Chain: I love the gold chain because I believe this gold chain is more classic than a silver colored chain. The gold is further accented on the Tory Burch logo and front cover.
   3. Classic: I think “classic” when a designer continually has a product in stock/available year after year. Tory Burch has had this chain wallet available for years and continues their classic neutral colors while adding in pops of color depending on the season. If you want a bold color that is no longer available, consider purchasing this wallet slightly used via a trusted seller OR visit a Tory Burch Outlet Store! (I have one ~45 minutes from me & that is where I purchased my classic Tory Burch Reversible Belts that you see scattered in my work/casual outfits or via social media)

4. Moderate Price Point: Retails for $298

   1. I am all for a designer item but also never purchase items >$500. So when I saw other bloggers posting about the YSL or Chanel clutches/shoulder bags ~1.5-2 years ago, I was definitely not going to splurge on those designers. I found this Tory Burch Robinson Chain Wallet as a great alternative to YSL or Chanel. 
   2. It is still high-quality & designer – just hundreds to thousands of dollars less expensive.
   3. This Tory Burch wallet retails for $298 but I purchased both of mine at $180-200 price points directly from the Tory Burch website. Tory Burch does have sales throughout the year or will discount products—think this wallet in a seasonal color.
   4. Also consider large retailer sales such as Nordstrom or Bloomingdale’s. Sometimes Tory Burch products are included in their sales and you can pick up this versatile wallet/clutch.
   5. Shop here, here or newer version of this chain wallet here.
