Diff card for the missus, mistress and parents to spend on, probably?

I have a passport holder cum wallet with 1 ATM card, IC, License and 2 cards only. My minimalistic version.

Because a longer wallet does not snaps your Credit Cards into 2 pieces.

Depends on the wallet’s design.

I’ve snapped plenty of cards with bifold wallets.

Irregardless of brands.

Coins kills your designer wallet x10 faster.

Get a coin pouch or something la if you want to keep coins

Nobody ask you to baby the wallet.

But using some common sense does help to extend the wallet’s lifespan.

You can fill it up with coins if you want. But most people will just carry a coin pouch for coins if they really need to put coins in.

Would be a waste if you keep spending 2k for a wallet when you can spend it elsewhere instead.

None of them are good, to be really honest.

It actually outlasted my daily LV wallet, if you are asking about quality.

Unsurprisingly thou.

I think their designs are average thou. Durability wise, quite good. I have a long wallet from my college days, still intact after I left it at some corner for almost 2 years. That's about a 6 years in total already.

Bifold goes around 1,8k onwards.

Longer wallets goes around 2k+ or so.

But if you're really into LV wallet, remember that you need to baby it a little.

Mine's over 2 years and it's been giving me signs that it's gonna die soon.

For that price, I'd top up for a Hermes Citizen Twill instead

Nope, physical store is the only way to go unless you trust resellers.

The wax holding the wallet together is falling apart. Gonna give it another 1 year or so before it completely dies.

I have switched to a Bottega Venetta for now while waiting for my next acquisition.

There's something like a passport holder that might fit your requirement.

My bottega is just about the size of my iPhone X, so about 5 inch-ish.

Bi-folds breaks your cards.

I never used a tri-fold before.

Seems very troublesome.

If you really want to load 12 cards, long wallet is the way to go

If you have yet to purchase, please consider Bottega in your list.

Or if you don’t mind the hassle of importing it in, a Goyard.

Yeap. I reached out to their CS before for remote purchase.

It came from singapore.

A quick google test yielded this :-

Located in: Ngee Ann City
Address: 391B, 01-11 Orchard Rd, Takashimaya S.C, Singapore 238872

Goyard has one of the more unique color choices and if you can wait, customization as well.

It's pretty much more worth it in my eyes compared to getting a LV or etc

I think it’s a bit unfair to compare prices because I bought mine like 2-3 years ago but as I recalled, the difference is rather small.

You don’t get to claim tax refund thou if I am not mistaken.

As for custom, see luck? Might or might not be taxed.

I don’t recalled getting taxed for my purchases

Prices are almost the same give or take currency conversion.

Mr. Porter does not have free shipping anymore, but taxes are prepaid in advance to avoid shock.

If you're not looking for something out of the ordinary, get it locally instead.

You get to see the items before committing.

And honestly, no Prada please. BV is much better in my personal opinion.

And it's only worth to get items online if during sales, coz you'd save up a significant amount compared to normal price season.

Try to check out the off season items, they are usually discounted.

Other than that, full price normally.
