tbh, between LV and BV, if you are a bo chap person and wants a wallet which can take abuse, then LV is better.

i took BV because of the weaving design, how the leather ages nicely over time and of cuz its a very low profile wallet.

I use Bally wallet. I like it cause it's understated, and the leather is really good.

yours is with the panel in the middle?

very easy dirty, no?

Nope. Not that bar design. I dislike it actually. Very loud, and there are quite a few fakes around.

My wallet is actually black in exterior, camel brown interior. Calf skin, with a embossed Bally logo at a corner. I love leather.

I like that series as well. Its more executive. The one with the canvas bar stripe in the middle give it a more casual look. And yeah, the stripe gets dirty easily.

What's the next level up from braun buffel?

depends tbh.

some people go for Mont Blanc, Gucci, LV, Prada, Burberry, BV. Then some go for underground brands.

 

[Henabi]

Cool, then not TOO bad lah

Where does Ball and Bottega stand in this "hierarchy"?

Just curious :s

base on Brand or durability?

If base on general brand, BV definitely higher level than Bally.
But if we look at durability, Bally definitely much durable than BV

Not just understated. I think its the most low profile and most ex =X

Bally > Hermes/BV > LV
