The Wallet/Purse thread

[es0teric]

I was wondering if there's any brand of wallet below $200. Just now went to look at BV, OMG, the first touch was so appealing! and only $610. BUt currently want to get a wallet below $200. If cannot find, then I will go for BV

you can probably try the brand TUMI or the good ole braun & buffel.

yes i would agree the 610 wallet is very good. i bought it just last week. unfortunately theres limited colours, paragon only has dark brown or black. its worth the 610 imo.

Ifrdtoh, what colors you looking for?

 

[lfrdtoh]

i wanted to see the grey, green and blue before making my decision, but dark brown was not too bad either, heard from the people at TPF that its the easiest to manage too, ie keep clean.

any idea where to get nice money clamps, those with card holder compartment

 

[es0teric]

I'm confused to get the brown or black. Both attracts me. Grey? Is there really a grey?

 

[lfrdtoh]

your preference really, both are its classic colours. grey i saw online, its a different type of leather i think. maybe dfs or changi airport have.

 

[madone]

niceeeeee....where you got it? damage?

hw much does this cost in sg? and where to get?

 

[es0teric]

I went to DFS galleria today. They only have black and brown. You bought with 8 card slot, 4 card slot with a coin pouch or 4 card slot with a "window"? I'm very confuse which to get. Btw, you have any pic or url for that grey wallet?

 

[lfrdtoh]

i had the 8 slots. IMO, coin pouch spoils the wallet in the long run if too many coins, etc. just get a seperate coin pouch. got mine from longchamp, 59 only. the "window" kind of spoils the whole wallet look too i think, if u have to show your id, just take it out and show lor, no need "window" mah. thats my take, maybe more inconvenient though.

I see. Hmmm...BV feeling is really good. Very tempting.

 

[lfrdtoh]

i like the design and the leather. what i like most is the understatedness of BV, not flashy at all. if u like these, i suggest u get BV, or like hermes, if u have the budget.

 

[es0teric]

Yeah, I like those without any brand on the wallet. Hermes, is way to ex.Over $1.2k

 

[lfrdtoh]

haha if too out of your budget then i suggest u get BV, unless u have other things on your mind?

 

[es0teric]

Went to look for ferragamo, not bad but after touch BV, I forgotton ferragamo. Unless I get a $250 wallet

 

[lfrdtoh]

doesnt mean 250 means less nice than BV, all up to u actually. but if it was me, doesnt hurt to have 2 wallets?

 

[es0teric]

haha. I got lobang for the grey version somemore have 20% off

 

[lfrdtoh]

oh really how?

 

[zyappu]

I wanted the grey version in the first place too, but the girl over the counter told me it was last season, so they're not bringing it in anymore. Guess their staple color is brown and black, and any other colors they will clear at each season.

In the end i got the dark brown, coz my friend got the black, and seriously, you can really see the wear and tear on blacks. Coz the leather trimmings will fray.
