yeah, low light mah. haha.. and HP camera not v good in pew pew pew. yes, dark brown.. their classic colour. got it cuz i already got the black prata..

and yes.. my prata is really in pretty good shape after 4 years.. haha the ketupat was an "impulse buy" when i went to Europe 2 years ago.. but ok lah, nv regretted anw!

but i think i do make an effort to maintain my wallet... the prata is the saffiano leather lor. think it's calfskin. haha.. bought it cuz it's pretty low profile..

Yah boy. The prata is good stuff and the leather holds up really well lol. Hmmm prata wallets looks sleek and solid hor.
Prata & Bottega, you've solid taste my man, sleek wallets.

 

[hwaa]

Hwa, yours is calfskin or nappa leather?
Fabian's one is calfskin right?
Saw a previous post, calfskin vs lamb skin/nappa, can see the difference siol. Calfskin seems glossy and hell ass tougher to me.

mine calfskin as well, dun really like the nappa. the lv canvas wallet can hold pretty long as well, mine about >6yrs already still look like 80-85% condition.

but one thing abt ketupat is the side in the long run will come out abit hairy hairy, that part i wonder how u guys take care? once a while pull out or trimming?

Hehe yeah, I agree that the classic prata wallets look sleek.

Thanks.. just a sucker for quality (though might not necessarily be branded).

Love watches as well, but that's another issue altogether. Haha..

You wanna hoot new wallet?

Fabian... before i bought my bv...i almost bought a prada wallet similar to yours...

That time i join MO for my BV wallet, the buyer took the bv in low light and i thought was black... but when i collect it...turn out to be dark brown.
Still took it cuz few months back, i rarely see guys taking two tone wallets...

Not too sure abt the hairy part... but the side of my bv wallet, the lambskin starting to crack a bit liao. And netzach, i agree with you that i will avoid BV nappa wallet completely, cuz its WAY TOO SOFT, even though i love how the dark brown is aging...

I thought BV nappa wallet is shinier??? While calf skin has that matt look to it...

that loewe wallet and that mulberry wallet... both are quite low profile designs.

Hehe I like how the leather feels to the touch. But I've seen one of the forumers here with a cui ketupat wallet after 5 years. The woven leather all come out..

I see! Yeah, quite like the Loewe wallet too. Hmmm can consider Tod's / Dunhill too.. not bad, IMO. Haha..

maybe one day will pop in loewe to take a look at their mens wallet. they are quite a 冷门 brand so far but like BV, maybe will slowly pick up. brands like loewe, ferragamo, BV usually the average peeps wont wanna head in, they see the boutique so empty they go in also abit scared. so usually they will head in to those stores where its more crowded and mainstream, eg the big 2... gucci and lv.

but maybe for those who buys luxury items for quite long already usually they might wanna venture out into those not so mainstream brands which is more ex then thats when all these comes in.

young people usually wants more mainstream brands, BV is heading that way soon cos the kepupat is slowly gaining popularity i feel.

Yap yap. I saw that dude's Bottega too.
Abit hesitant on getting the Bottega after seeing that piece, but end day, I know jolly well I wouldn't be using the same wallet for five years lol so it's fine.

Soft feel/touch like touching a neh neh shiok shiok feeling?

hehe I guess it's like a shifting of "phase" lor... starting out buy the mainstream brands... then slowly upgrade to the non-mainstream ones... the same goes for watches...

waiting to have enough spare $$ to hoot an AP panda... haha
