The Wallet Thread

[Henabi]

wah really a very good inside, thanks for your reply!

I have friends in germany so I might want to get the Ombre since its the latest one. The ombre and normad multiple cost the same, which one will you take?

I touched the Damier Infini leather yesterday and it was really soft and i wonder if it will last as well as my previous Damier canvas or not, whats your opinion?

I used my Damier canvas for around 4-5 years before i lost it and its still at an acceptable condition.

The slender style is new to me and it does not have the latest leather like Ombre and normad. It honestly feel wrong when i touch it, i wanted it when I see it online because of the amount of card slot it had. The not sew part of the card compartment was quite a killer..

I have a Taiga briefcase, should i get a Taiga multiple or Epi multiple if the Ombre is not available?

LV's canvas wallets are built to last. don't talk about 5 years. it can last 10, 20 years of abuse. that's because the material is Canvas, not leather.

Be it taiga or Epi, depends on you... the colour for both will age over the years. Epi will give a nicer Patina compared to Taiga.

for me... i prefer Epi.

So as a general guide, should I get bright color or dark color Taiga/Epi? Which one look better after aging? I have been using canvas wallet for the past years so I have no experience

Why don't you consider corterleather? A pity he added the anchor logo at the side while mine was a much earlier model and I preferred a cleaner look.

My grail cordovan wallet is actually from this guy John Faler, @falerleathers. His work is simply amazing if you follow him on Instagram and I have not seen any guy with more solid handstitching than him. If he ever gets his supply of Horween navy shell, I'll be getting him to create a custom for me immediately.

All the bros using BV intrecciato bi fold wallet can check with you guys at the bottom of the wallet where it often bends (eg open close wallet), does the lacquer/sealant crack easily?

Mine is showing signs after just a few days of usage, wonder if this is normal for a BV wallet.

Personally... The price of a Hermes wallet can be used to get a custom leather wallet from independent wallet makers...

Like John...
