Natural Shell Cordovan Wallet or Horween shell cordovan wallets?

My 2nd uncle started using their Natural Shell Cordovan Wallet about 1 yr ago.
something like this....

The leather is very thick tbh and very sturdy as well... If you don't go for luxury branded wallet, this is a good buy=)

IMO, once you've tried horween shell cordovan wallets, you won't go back to any luxury brands. Mine's a horween and their supply is not easy to come by. Well those who know their leather will know the quality. Doesn't matter if people can't tell that my wallet is actually more superior than their LV, gucci etc. Whichever rocks your boat works.

Yes. It adds character each time there's new scruffs. A few times there were some pretty deep scratches but over time, they were buffed out with daily use. Go back take pic ba

Elite spotted :o

with so many MOs for luxury brands like BV, PRADA GUCCI, LV, CHANEL, CD... its quite possible to own a branded wallet which is 30-40% cheaper than local AD.

my wife PRADA intercontinental wallet cost only SGD$580. but in local stores, its easily $800-$900.

but of course, there are a few non-luxury brand wallets which are equally expensive

so far only brandfever at their gallery in intercon.

need to wait 4-8weeks before I can receive the item just doesn't justify that little saving. still prefer MO.

much higher savings and usually can collect from the MO person within a few days after they return
