My wallet collections, all handmade by myself.

Rotating the use them them, ranging from long wallet, mid wallet to card holder.

Long Wallet, using Veg Tan leather with Levi's 501 Selvage denim scraps for inlay. internally showing selvage.

Mid wallet, using black burnished cowhide leather, with berry concho.

Cardholder, using 8oz Veg Tan leather. I use this most often, evolving into nice golden brown colour now.

Just made a short wallet for yesterday, Veg Tan leather with concho snap. Will start using it

Can, most of my items sold are custom-made. We can correspond via mail for discussion, show me pics of what u desired for design.
Price depends on the complexity and hardware used for the project, so it varies. U can check my blog for a price guide if u are interested

the black one looks nice.

Btw bro. Do u have any recommendations more for work purpose? This black one definitely looks nice, but may not slot into my work pants, and scali scare my colleagues sia lol
I am looking at something probably 5-6 card slots, coin compartment and note slots. Black, but will be nice if can have ABIT of wild look on it so that its not yet another boring black wallet.

May be getting a Mont Blanc or Dunhill under $500, maybe 8CC and not soft leather w/o coin, had enough of my credit cards bending out of shape because of my fat ass.

I am thinking of Mont Blanc Westside or Selection series or Dunhill carbon fibre leather billfold series. Any recommendations.

bro if ur max budget ish $500, i wuld suggest you go for Prada Saffiano Leather wallets, they have 8CC ones without Coin pouch going for 470-500 range. Its def more durable then MB or Dunhill for that matter coze imho i tink their wallets not worth the value.

Just my 2cents worth!

 

[sprouts]

dunhill wallets are quite nice but i associate the brand with older en even after they have tried to reach out to younger man.

nonetheless, i think they're nice!

Hm...wallets style definitely depends alot on your lifestyle. Most of my wallets are design for denimheads, japanese culture, Redmoon inspired.
Also your daily dressing counts whether the wallet suits you or not.

Of cos I can make a wallet base on your preferences. Just send me an email when you are ready

My personal view is that some brands are overlooked e.g. Zegna, Mulberry, Burberry. Their wallets aren't half bad as well and they are alot less common.

haha i agree wib chiu bro! their px suld be arnd the same as dunhill or MB ones. another rather gd quality brand would be Bally oso, famous for their leathers and shoes too. px wise isnt as sexpensive as compared to Prata or Zucci, just slightly cheaper.

but for me, my personal view ish, if my budget allows, i will go for the best (in terms of quality, branding, design) based on my budget and not settle for something inbetween? if notch will just go buy a wallet from Goldlion, Picard or mayb at most Renoma or Braun Buffel.

Cheers!

Oh yea, I forgot about Bally.

Is there really a difference in quality amongst brands? People tell me Prada is better, especailly their Saffiano leather but I think how the user uses his wallet plays a part as well.

I don't really take care of my wallet, since it's something I use everyday. I like fuss free items. People use to tell me Braun Buffel leather was good but I beg to differ. Looking at the state of my wallet always makes me want to laugh at that statement.

actually i believe it does, coze of the way they treated the leathers and made it more durable. but of course like you said its more like 50/50 where the user plays a part too. if you like to thrash ur wallet around, Prada might be able to last longer then Braun Buffel but its still subjected to wear and tears indef.

if you do take care of the wallets, it will def go a long way. my Guccissima already 1yr+ but i regularly use leather conditioners to maintain it, still looks as good as new.

I like a fuss free walllet; I have never in my life conditioned a wallet and don't intent to. For the past 3 wallets I have, it has been BB. On my current wallet (12cc + 1 photo ID design), my cards have been bending and breaking; I sometimes forget taking out my wallet when I sit, most of the time in the car.

In the time I have written my last post on this topic, my DBS card just cracked. I am truly frustrated.

I conclude that I need a wallet with a premium hard leather with a simple design while holding nearly as much cards(8cc at least). while this may not solve my problem entirely, it would certainly help in the long run (for those long car trips)

Reading the long thread posted by the community here, it seems my orginal first choice MB wouldn't help. my bet will be on Dunhill or Prada. Never though I would think of Prada since I usually go for masculine dominated brands. But MeRfMeRf kinda sold me on Saffiano leather pitch.

 

[xrisoneil]

I bought a bulgari wallet, well, what I can comment is one cent one quality.
Overall, do not want to get something which you can see many on the street by paying that kind of price.
