Depends on your wallet collection bro...from your rather powerful collection..I guess the seasonal colours would be gd.

Well my basics with collecting stuffs, if you are starting off...go for classics. If you hav already established your base or your classics...then head for the funky ones!

erm... alot of brands have canvas wallets much lower then 700. if im not mistaken, LV monogram/damier canvas wallets are 1 of the most exp canvas ones around.

Bally, Gucci, Burberry do have canvas wallets with this px range $3xx - $4xx.

Cheaper alternatives prolly Coach at around high $2xx to $3xx.

Cheers!

well if you do get BV, remb to buy those protecting care pdts for your wallet so that it won't get damaged or scratched easily. canvas although more durable but is still susceptible to wear and tear. just go with your heart and get the wallet you want.

if not, op for the more durable type leathers around like Prada' saffiano range which is quite good n slightly more resistant to scratches. bro fabian oso mentioned that initally his wallet got a scratch due to usage but the scratch "disappeared" by itself

heres my most recent purchase which i posted in the prada thread.

this wallet ish retailing in SG Prata Boutique at $560 and comes in Grey n Green.

hmm well i wuld say go with ur heart, if u fancy multiple, den go for it. even if u buy billfold, u might nw like it in the end thou. n if u pref damier graphite, its oni avail in multiple, marco or florin n nt in billfold.

 

[Darkangle]

The shape of the billfold is odd

haha well coze guys nw trying to emulate the ladies lor. its really true that it can be quite troublesome. but then it gives the owner more flexibility to bring out an accessory that suits his dressing etc. just like PAM owners, owning and changing straps is part of the ownership process. although of course its not so cumblesome as it just the strap n buckle but theory is the same.

Heylooooo!

Any recommendations for a wallet (with no coins compartments) <$500?

Subtle designs and relatively uncommon brands.

No LV/MB/BB/Gucci.

By the way, is it fine for a guy to carry a strapless purse. Ones that you hold with your hand. Small but big enough to put in a novel, wallet, hp, pen. Saw one that I wanted, something like a traveller's purse at Fossil ($120?) but because it is Fossil..... I walked away.

 

[Dmaul77]

Any idea if the BV seasonal sale is anytime soon?

Cheers

 

[KeKeLaRz]

eh buttie me keen gettin the bv leh, how much the bv care products?

u bought from prata boutique in sg?

for subtle designs, you can try DH or Bally? Not as loud interms of the branding pasted all over the wallet but still can tell its branding. def cost below 500.

i tink guys carry those "clutch" type bags suld be alrite bah? nowadays guys carry totes on their shoulder already quite accepted thou it was originally a ladies style of bags & carrying method.

Any idea if the BV seasonal sale is anytime soon?

Cheers

not yet bah? theirs will be arnd same time as Gucci coze both owned by PPR. Gucci's seasonal sales suld be arnd end nov/early dec start.

eh buttie me keen gettin the bv leh, how much the bv care products?

dun tink u need to buy especially their pdts to maintain your wallet, just some leather care pdts such as Apple Leather Care (google for it) and locally its avail for sales thou not found anywhere, prolly costing below 100 for a set of pdts ranging from leather cleaners, conditioners and protectors sprays.

i bought moi recent prata stuffs thru DA korkor.

LOL my sentiments exactly!!! Change bag liao the forget this and that... really is

Having said that, there are times when I just use my cardholder as a "wallet"... only put 2-3 cards inside and off I go... but that's only when I go somewhere nearby like a swim or something. Hehe

BALLY is nice leh... I went to the outlet in ION Orchard yesterday and I saw this classic brown wallet. But the stripes ain't fabric now; it's leather... coloured. Very bright, very nice!

The interior is grey in colour and I got poisoned The leather feels quite good to touch too... OMG.
