where can i get the apple leather care and Cadiliac leather cleaner?

i will not choose the kiwi leather cleaner, especially the neutral as i got bad experience with it. once you used the neutral colour one, i'm not sure how and why the leather becomes mouldy after some time if left untouched. the kiwi black or brown still not that bad.

Just bought my black coated belt from Gucci this evening. DFS doesn't have it, Paragon only have size 28 and the last piece (Size 32) was bought by me in Takashimaya. I believe they still have last piece of Size 34.

FYI, the black coated belt is not at SGD$420. It's selling at SGD$460. As for the black coated wallet coin pouch (SGD$420)/6-cards holder (SGD$430)

Went to see your wallet at Gucci Paragon. The cover of the wallet is not leather, it's still canvas albeit of a special type. Never seen it before. Feels harder and more rigid than the usual canvas. Pictures look better than the real thing to me, although it's still uniquely beautiful. I like the black better than the gunmetal version. No wonder it's so cheap, couldn't believe that new season leather wallet could go for $350. Lost my taste for it after discovering it was non-leather.

For those interested, there's a classic men's wallet going for $315 after discount, 6 slots 2 billfolds. The leather is soft leather and the logo is at the bottom right of the wallet face. The SA I spoke to at Gucci Takashimaya said they could be discontinuing this range.

haha well its still ish considered leather mah, the inner lining are made of calf-leather, only the exterior isnt. their other staple products like GG monogram jaquard fabric and GG-plus canvas wallets are all also the same, exterior ish fabric or canvas while interior ish leather and they all cost more den the new black coated material 6CC one. so i think ish welly a goot buy imho.

Fair enough, I have to concede your point. When i was at both outlets yesterday not many males were looking for that model leh. Someone did enquire about the messenger though, but I thought it didn't look good unlike in the pictures. My gf said it looked very ah beng.

Looks like I wouldn't be joining this committee soon. Eyeing a Prada and Salvatore Ferragamo wallet instead.

Same issue with mine. And i thought BB was supposed to last.

No pics, but i can describe and hopefully someone can put the pics.

It's the black leather wallet (all leather) with the logo in gold at the bottom right corner of the face. The leather is calf and smooth skin, easily creased. I know because the display set looked quite bad already considering it was a display set.

I'm not sure how many slots but it should follow the standard Gucci range. Used to retail ard $450.

Are you asking from the perspective of someone who has seen and held the actual thing or someone who has only heard about it?

If it's the latter, I strongly advise actually going to the retail stores to have a good look at it. Holding it in your hands might give you a better idea of its worth.

Personally I think all canvas products are expensive especially for Gucci. $350 versus a Burberry $300 classic wallet, also 6 slots but full leather, I think the Burberry makes alot more sense. Even if you discount the Gucci wallet to $300, it's still a tad overprice to me.

I happen to know it's selling for alot less overseas and I'm not talking about Milan. My friend got it from Auckland at S$233 after tax. That's the kind of price I would pay for too. $300? Not a chance.

However, I'm someone who believes in keeping money in the wallet rather than spending on one. If not for the sorry state my Braun Buffel is in, I wouldn't even consider buying another wallet in the first place.

Just my RM 2 sen. Hopefully i come across as honest and answered your question rather than obnoxious and naive about such matters.

I think i might be those few that actually likes the fall/winter items & bought this.

 

[Carnage]

Unfortunately the phots are a tad dark and lurry. Is that a female tote bag?

The autumn/fall designs are rather unique and nice.
