The Wallet Thread

[Henabi]

eh i ask you all. my wallet the slot to put cards, the cloth inside already broke off from the leather. i know its difficult to understand, but i do not have the picture now, wallet is in my car.

any place which repairs damaged wallet? its a montblanc, warranty already finish.

sounds like you have been using the wallet for a few years... the cost of the repair is not gonna worth it at all, unless the wallet has sentimental value.

otherwise better to get a new one

 

[Henabi]

haha. ya man. i do think my Prada is tougher then the BV too.
lol. i rotate between the Prada & BV, Prada for clubbing & drinking activities, as it holds up better lol.

in purseforum... BV wallets don't seem to be able to hold up to daily abuses very well. its a type of wallet which requires a bit more pampering...

will need to see hwaa's BV wallet in a few weeks/months time, whether it can survive daily "abuses" like taking in and out from pockets multiple times a day...

here's photos of a BV tri-fold wallet after 2 years...

2 years only in fact. i would say its properly maintained, except the part of the card slot with was torn apart due to whatever reasons

how much does the repair usually cost, and where? i think i should drop by and ask for a quote before deciding to keep it or not

You can try asking.... but high chance you may need to go to there leather repair shop...

Previously my friend asked PRADA about repair of a black hairline stain on her prada wallet... the SA also advise my friend go to a leather repair shop cuz prada dont do it

That's quite good condition for 3 years old. Female wallet generally better maintained than guys because they leave it in their bags most of the time.

For guys, especially if you place wallet in your back pocket and worse, sit down with wallet in your back pocket. guaranteed formula to get dog ears and banana shape wallets haha.

Can anyone recommend me a good wallet brand that is durable yet nice? Max I would go is probably $200. Been using a Fossil wallet for 2 years, didn't really last. Saw Bellroy hide n seek, kinda nice but is it durable? Anyone use before?

Tio man, tio tio. Don't think the BV can tahan much too lol. I usually hold the wallet or put it inside my bag lol. The BV is more for use when I'm in formal wear, Prata for jeans and casual wear lol.

any leather repair shop to recommend?

You can try the Colour Wash chain that specialises cleaning ladies' handbags. They may do the repair or have a shop recommendation if they are not able to do the repair themselves.

anyone can recommend good zip leather wallets?

Comme Des Garcons?

More important are two things:
- BUDGET $$$
- STYLE / DESIGN

and then, what type you looking at?
- Continental or non-continental?
- common leather like Lamb, Calf, Cowhide, Deer hide or Exotic skins like Lizard, Stingray, Gator, Croc, Ostrich?
- 3/4 zip or full zip?
- Zipper handle want metal or plastic?

Comme Des Garcons is in fact a japanese company with a French name. Just like Paris Baguette Cafe is actually under a korean company but do french bakery

the above brands I recommend are fairly durable to last 3-5 yrs, if we put them through the daily abuse like take in and out of our pockets several times a day...
Stuff it with many items, money, cards, receipts, etc

 

[hwaa]

if wan durable then consider getting canvas instead, dun really need to maintain.
