Lee Bo-young’s Bottega Veneta Card Wallet: The Story Behind a Decade of Use
Lee Bo-young says she used a green Bottega Veneta card wallet for about a decade. In Vogue Korea’s MY VOGUE episode, she explains why it was difficult to replace and why she still keeps the old one at home. The story is about the attachment built around an everyday object.
A compact wallet for the cards she carries
At approximately 6:44 in the August 14, 2025 video, Lee says she does not carry much cash these days and shows a simple card wallet. She opens it to reveal the flap and storage compartment, giving viewers a clear look at the item she was carrying at the time of filming.
The wallet shown in the photograph should be distinguished from the older green wallet she discusses immediately afterward. Her account of roughly ten years of use concerns the previous wallet, rather than establishing the age of the item in the close-up.
Why replacing it took so long
From around 6:50, Lee explains that she had used the green Bottega Veneta wallet for a long time. She associated that period with things going well and felt reluctant to change it, even when people around her suggested doing so.
Her comments describe a personal feeling about a familiar possession. They are best understood as an account of sentimental attachment. A practical object can become linked to a period of life, making replacement feel less straightforward than simply finding another wallet.
The old wallet still has a place at home
At around 7:06, Lee says she eventually did change wallets. She also explains that she likes green and that the old wallet’s color had faded with use. Even after replacing it, she continued to keep it at home.
The story distinguishes the wallet she once used from the one in her bag during the interview. It is not a durability test for every Bottega Veneta card holder, but it does reveal how strongly her own preferences influenced what she kept.
Compare the structure with your routine
When considering a card wallet, start with how many cards you carry and whether you also need space for coins or folded notes. A flat card case and a flap wallet differ in bulk and the way they open. The shape that works best depends partly on the bag or pocket where it will live.
The exact model number and official color name of the wallet shown are not confirmed here, so no specific product code or price is assigned to it. Bottega Veneta’s current wallet collection includes several structures; check the dimensions and compartments of the individual item you are comparing.
