She told meNo, your wife never mentioned?
You're on! I've set myself a reminder
And here we are, 18 months later.
The wallet I bought has 18 months of pocket patina which I'd expect. Certainly no need for replacement. I wanted one with a minimum of six card slots with possibly space for a couple more, the one I got has eight slots and I've filled them all.
To save anyone looking back, this is the one I bought.
Definitely no need to replace it.

mine is holding up well too.

It's looking a bit tatty to be fair, my Secrid I've had for 3 or 4 years now still looks as good as the day I bought it
lol, it's been in the back pocket of my jeans all day every day since I got it. Of course it's going to develop a patina.

My Vegan leather has too, but no patina, looks brand new, I guess you could probably make it less shabby by keeping it in a sandwich bag inside your pocket to protect it from erosion

Need a rugged but supple leather case to keep it in... Wait...
FWIW I got gifted my wallet at the Guinness storehouse in 2010 and it is very usable condition. It's only now developed a functional fault where coins can slip from the fabric pouch into the main wallet space. I'll likely repair that issue and get another couple of years out of it.
This must be one of the most successful marketing rebrands on such a large scale

Yeah it's a stupid name, just like vegan chicken nuggets, but it's cheaper and better than leather
Unless it was 5 years ago, then it's "cheap and nasty pvc leather"
It's remarkable how easily they've turned public opinion from it being a cheap plastic leather knock off, to a superior animal friendly 'vegan' product.

Had my Trove for a couple of years now and it still looks new. Someone from here recommended them.
I have the black one with carbon fibre panels:

Had this one for a while now and almost replaced it the other day with a nice soft leather one Osprey.
Tried a few places and they all seemed pretty dull.
