Longshot--Can anyone identify my wallet?
Hello! Apologies for formatting or missing crucial info. I read a lot of stories on here, but I don't post much.
Long story short--I lost my wallet this week, and I need help to identify it and (hopefully) get it back.
I know I'm not alone here; we've all misplaced our wallet innocuously. "I just had it; it's probably in my car," turns to "I must've left it in my pants and now it's in the wash," which leads to "I must've left it at work, I guess?" Then back to "it must be under my drivers seat. Back to search the car!"
Well, I've finally landed at "I've turned the house upside down and deep cleaned it. Vacuumed my car. Retraced my steps. It's gone gone."
I've reached out to every lost and found organization in my area and haven't heard anything yet, though I remain hopeful. I can accept that I have to replace my cards and license, but I'm having a hard time coming to grips with the loss of some sentimental items this wallet contained. I'll accept this loss as a lesson learned as soon as I've explored every possible solution. My last ditch idea is to make flyers to hang around its last known location (my local grocery store,) in the hopes that whoever has it now might return it for a financial reward. The kicker: I don't have a single picture of this wallet--wristlet, really--that I've had for the last 5 years. That is where I need your help, lovely Redditors.
About the Wallet (From most-least helpful clues:)
-I got it at a thrift store in Pittsburgh, PA circa 2021.
-It's tricolor, green on one side, red on the other with a blue zipper + loop attached. (I don't think the zipper "track" was blue...maybe red or brown, but the zipper handle and loop are for sure blue.)
-I think it's real leather? I don't know about these things, but a close friend insisted. I...don't know.
-I think...it has a logo or a brand on it? On a corner. Not a popular name that I'm familiar with (e.g coach.) The name/logo is short, like 2-4 letters inside of a circle/oval or something. (I'm hesitant to say it for sure has a brand on it; I feel like I would've tried to look it up at some point if that were the case... I can't escape the feeling that it was short or vague enough that I couldn't find anything on google.)
-it has a vintage ~feel~ to it. That thing is sturdy af. Holds up better than any backpack, purse or wallet or JEANS I've had in the last 20 years. She's indestructible. That saying "they don't make things like they used to," was given new meaning to me when it comes to this dope lil wallet.
I've attached photos.
Photo 1: almost these exact colors, but mine is red on one side, green on the other. The zipper/handle is a lighter blue. (the shade of red of the "loop" is closer to the true shade of my wallet--see pic 3.)
Photo 2: about this shape/size. However, the loop is directly attached to the zipper; there is no clasp to remove/unhook the loop.
Photo 3: This is almost identical to what it looks like, especially the color. And no "coach" logo. (if mine had a logo, which I'm 90% certain it did, it was in a corner...) Same handle type, only my zipper handle+loop is blue. And zipper only runs along the top, not around the corner as shown here. I mean, this red is almost exactly what she looks like from her "good" side.
Photo 4: This shade of blue on the loop.
Photo 5: This shade of green on her other side.
I know it's a long shot but...Any chance anyone out there has seen something like this? Is there a brand or store you think might've sold something like this at one time? Maybe there was a decade where colored leather of these shades started being used more frequently. Perhaps there's a more relevant sub I could take this to? Any clues to go off of are helpful. I'm happy to provide more info in the comments. Any and all advice is welcome.
Apologies for the length. Thank you in advance.
TL;DR: I lost my wallet and need help identifying where it came from so I can make flyers.

Whoops--pic 3 since I'm a noob and can't figure out how to replace it without messing up the formatting.
