The inner lining of the 2 billslot is a different color, a shade of brown soft leather.

 

[ahboy82]

i believe is those outlet malls. not the exact boutiques like wat we see in SG. more like IMM, Changi City point that kind of outlets in europe.

Same like the US Premium outlets. Over there the coach bags can be up to 50% off based on same model over at the actual boutiques. of cos not all models can find at the outlets. depend on yr luck de,

if thats the case... it might be F/W 2012/2013 LE collection.

anyway, its a great buy and please dont pamper it. just use.it like how you will usually use your previous wallets.
calfskin can withstand it... plus, the colour will age beautifully over time

I do know that certain designs in outlet are lelong one. Coach, Kat Spade dont say lah...its DIRT CHEAP!!! last year I bought one Kate spade 2012 S/S collection continental full zip wallet for my wife for only USD58. two week I happened to have a meeting at MM orchard, pop by the kate spade booth at taka, saw the same wallet selling at $188 >.<

and I agree... after shopping in HK, US n Europe... I really dont shop much in Singapore... unless bo bian, got special ocassion then LL shop in SG

my BV bought from Europe in 2011... i think after VAT rebate.. around $500 SGD... back then, I think the wallet selling for around $780 in SG. Got the 4cc slots + coin pouch with double bill compartments.

classic or seasonal colour?

 

[Henabi]

Got so many kinds of leather.
Dont knw which one u referring to
Card holder cant put much stuff anyway so i wont buy it

I am still using card holders from Braun Buffel. not bad.
mine are 2cc on both sides and a big center slot for small notes or receipts.

calf leather. black colour. I use it when I am just going downstairs to buy some stuffs or when I go chiong. use for 4 yrs liao. still good condition.

 

[hwaa]

their two tone is nice

black+red, red+black, brown+blue, brown+purple, emerald+red, emerald+gold I think
brown+blue always snap up fast.

just that their latest triple colour woven series I dont like...

 

[cybercom8]

anyone using hermes wallet? good or not?

 

[Wietse]

want executive look or casual look???

Either is fine, I like something slim and elegant. Thinking either Ferragamo or the BV "ketupat" discussed above.

hmmmm... if you're not a "card" person, and doesn't require a ID slot, then a 8CC bi-fold wallet with two cash slots would be good for you.

HUGO BOSS:

Hugo Boss Men's Bi Fold London 50248840 Navy Textured Leather Wallet | eBay

GUCCI: ( i personally doesn't like the canvas series, as it gets stained rather easily)

Gucci Blue Riviera GG Imprime Finish Leather ID Window Bifold Wallet Authent | eBay
The material is calf leather but Gucci gave it an embossed treatment with a layer of lacquer, so at certain angle, it reflects light.

Authentic Gucci Mens Brown Leather GG Logo Guccissima Bifold Wallet | eBay
this series is more modernised, and has a matt finish. It comes in several colours.

Good if you don't like your entire wallet to be imprinted with the brand's logo.

Ferragamo

imo, most classic and elegant of all their men's wallet design

Another classic if you like pebbled calf leather

Another design... embedded with SF logo all over the wallet

wah the ferragamo one with a logo one the right bottom is simple and nice, i dont see this on our side leh.. here have?

 

[Henabi]

BV

Single colour, bi-fold, calf leather

single colour, bi-fold, lambskin

notice the difference in the texture between calf skin and lambskin. And as I mentioned earlier, lambskin BV wallets are thinner and lighter. From the pictures, its quite obvious

Starting from 2011 or 2012, BV started to do partial Intrecciato men wallets
This is one of them.

F/W 2013 triple-tone wallet

Louis Vuitton

i personall like this series. Clean, Simple and with just a LV logo at the corner

don't think so been to MBS and DFS... i think this one must get from the outlets in Europe.
