Ahhhhhh I've that too lol. Went field camp with me, sat on it, thrashed it and all. One of my longest lasting wallets, using it now for clubbing activities, can sit on it, put it in the back pocket etc. Lol. That **** is built like a tank lol.

hard to say... I think I might continue using my prata lor... been so long liao, and the condition is still quite good.

not to mention, the ketupat also still in good condition... maybe I don't need to buy new wallet for the next 2-3 years... haha.

what happened to that wallet?!?!

Are BV wallets really that not long-lasting?!?! only 2-3yrs cui liao ah? I read in purseforum, some can use for 10 over years

how i wish I can get AP too can get a rolex (datejust or Sub Black SS) I jin happy liao

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.

I nv fancy classic designs from mainstream brands like LV, Gucci, Burberry, Coach etc.
for me, I always like "quiet" or "sleeper" brands or designs. That's why I prefer brands like Bonia, Hugo Boss, Ferragamo, Braun Buffel...

it will take a while for BV to gain popularity among young people unless they start splashing big money on marketing like what LV, Gucci, Chanel, Burberry, Coach and Kate Spade are doing.
but its a good start for them, since they started introducing interrocimarge (sp?!) series, which is using thinner calf/nappa leather, therefore reducing the pricing by almost 40%

and I never thought Loewe has mens wallet until you shared...

Steel looks damn solid the LB wallet. Built like a tank.

 

[Henabi]

just wanna check with you guys... for BV nappa leather wallets, is it common for the edges to start cracking up after a few months?

 

[netzach]

BV nappa usually two tones hor? Exterior and interior two different colors. Looks good. Dayum lah bang!

I don't have that issue.

Just don't sit on it or cram all your cards.

I don't even use leather cleaner. Looks as good as new for more than 2 years.

Can't decide between a LV Taiga or a BV.. Any suggestions?

 

[netzach]

Can't decide between a LV Taiga or a BV.. Any suggestions?

both wallets are nice man imho. not too flashy & all. (simple man like me can't pull off monogram designs)

LV Taiga would prolly last longer, my LV Damier built like a fuggin' tank/built for battle lol. Can't really comment on the Taiga since I don't have one, but personally, I would feel that for a more solid, perhaps 'longer' lasting wallet with more milage and a sturdy feel go for the LV.

On the other hand, BV for the 'leathery' feel/touch. I've bought the BV Signature Intrecciato Weave Calfskin Leather with coins compartment (same as Mr. Fabian's but brack color lol, i'm a coins guy. MEH), so far so good, lovin' the touch & all, quite shiok. (2 days using the BV lol - thanks guys for the kind recommendations, comments & all, appreciate it). Pretty solid, sturdy wallet I would say, but personally, I don't think that the BV would give 'more milage' & handle wear & tear better than the Taiga, since the entire exterior is woven. I've seen this dude's BV entire exterior peeling off after 5 years of usage, but then again, you prolly wouldn't be using the same wallet for a good 5 year, so fug it, just hoot it. If fuggin' BV leather exterior peels off, and you like the BV, just hoot another 1.

Personally, I don't think that the BV could 'tahan/tank' damage better than the Taiga, but all in all, I would still say that it's a pretty solid & decent wallet. The nappa/lambskin BV though, would have a softer feel & most probably thinner & lighter than the calfskin BV.
