In the end I decided on the Comme des Garcons wallet in this vibrant blue colour. My original choice was the tri-coloured version but when it arrived I really wasn't happy with the quality of the leather, it was almost paper thin which wouldn't be durable at all. A Twitter convo with Phil Oh from Street Peeper swung my decision. That's not what I want from a wallet, I want to be able to toss it in my bag or pocket and not have to worry about it.
The real bonus behind the purchase is that I won a £50 gift voucher for End on their Facebook so I only had to put a couple of quid towards it, winner!
It's the big day on Friday, results day. I have mixed feelings about what's going to happen but wish me luck.
You're so right to question the quality of the leather and expect the utmost durability for your buck. Wasting money on poorly made clothes is bad enough but wasting money on substandard leather when you know the real deal should technically last you for life is just a sartorial crime :)
ReplyDeletefabulous choice of gift to yourself; especially as it cost so little!
