Taiga , at least it full leather . Damier like monograms are just canvas/vinyl with a layer of leather on top . Are u the kind of person who puts his wallet in his pants even after a sports day OR sweat a lot ? I'm , and after a while with the sweat soaking into my wallet , the layers tend to peel off and u can see the leather layer and the canvas separated . Taiga , well , become " kiam chai " after a yr of using but at least it's still in 1 piece

Well , damier , monogram , are all canvas with a layer of leather on top so basically , cant consider leather but not much cheaper compared to taiga . Taiga is just nice , epi is 2 hard to my liking but that's just me
