New wallet needed - suggestions?

Greebo · 24 Aug 2009 at 14:37

My old wallet is falling to bits so time to get a new one.

Current wallet is an animal. I don't like "traditional" style wallets. I have looked at the current animal tri fold range and nothing "wets my juices"

Whose others do I you think I should take a look at please?

Thanks

Go "shopping" and see what you like "the look of"

I get mine free from Lloyds TSB. Keeps my cards in.

Sorry but £110? I would rather not. Just have a look on River Island or something, some nice ones which are quite cheap too.

Yeah but that's exactly what I would call "traditional" which is the total opposite of what I want.

That's the kind of thing I mean. Something a bit different. How do you find it has stood the test of time?

Not too badly, it is getting a bit tatty now round the edges, but they also do lifetime replacements so I might just get another one when it does start to fall apart :cool:

My problem is that I carry too much stuff. About 10 cards plus £100 to £200 cash and then receipts until I turf them out at home.

I find a normal double leather wallet just not big enough.

Thanks for some of the suggestions lads, I quite like some of the billabong ones.

Ebay seller called exoticsilksandleathers or something. I got a wallet from there and it lasted for years till it got nicked recently. Theyre made in Thailand and you can get some pretty interesting leathers like ostrich, snake skin, crocodile skin, stingray skin etc.

There is no debate. Purses are for women, wallets are for men.

Advice on buying a wallet? Really?

How have you managed to live this long?

I should know better than posting on GD since I have been here long enough but already a few people have suggested brands which I had not looked at and now I have a few possibilities so why not ask on a forum? It's worked for me.
