  -> Thank you! I won't argue about taste. Both are possible.
agree  Kitty Brussaard: Spot on! For Richard's information, 'knip' is colloquial Dutch for 'portemonnee' :-)

agree  Guillemette Koning: For every purse and taste

  -> Thank you! I agree ' purse' sounds prettier, but in a restaurant context I would use a ' budget' rather than a purse. You cannot say "purse for dinner", but you can say "budget for dinner".
agree  Tina Vonhof (X): Budget sounds better than purse in English.
