Introducing my current key pouch:
Gross, right? While browsing for designer handbags, invariably I came across small leather goods or SLGs and one of those was the Louis Vuitton Key Pouch. I saw it and thought that while I’m not the most avid fan of their signature monogrammed canvas, the idea of it seemed appealing to me, so I decided an upgrade to the vessel that carries my keys would be good. I then found the Louis Vuitton 6 Key Holder and despite the versatility a key pouch offers over a key case, the extra organisation that it provides won me over, except the price tag discouraged me right away. A small little thing that would cost me almost as much as a base Nintendo Switch console at 420 Australian dollars? No thanks!
So my quest for cheaper alternatives that weren’t from fast fashion began and here are 5 that I’ve encountered during my browsing that were generally below 150 Australian dollars or 100 US dollars:

In the end I bought the Il Bisonte one because I was curious about an under-the-radar brand that Tanner Leatherstein had praised on his YouTube channel (see his review here) and hence I wanted to see for myself. As of posting, I’ve received the key case, so I plan to do a post on my first impressions and another after using it for some time so please stay tuned!
How about you? Are you interested in any of these or do you own these? Do you prefer a key pouch or a key case?
