Obviously, high end luxury brands don't think that their customers would bother carrying coins, no?

That's why most of their wallet comes with 6 / 8 / 12 / 16 cards compartments and so....

Never had my hand on Bellroy so not sure.. but it is thicker for sure because this is actually a card case..it has a gusseted compartment which can put like 5,6 cards and that is where i put my notes..



This particular model is RM360.. Tumi Alpha Gusseted Card Case.. but kinda good reviews also in Amazon

Thanks!

yea true, but I hate how Malaysia often requires coin to perform some daily public task in an event if it ever arises, such as parking fee and etc.. when the notes keep getting rejected. couldn't recall which particular encounter but just in general sometimes coin play a crucial role in Malaysia. sad thing is if you're in other country you basically do everything via cashless transaction. ..

thanks for sharing man ! would look up to it as the prices are similar to bellroy.

Try exploring Valextra.

Imo if you put any sort of thumb drive into any wallet you're going to spoil the shape. I used to use wallets with coin pouches all the time and they never lasted as long compared to those without, even for the same brands. If I were you I'd just keep a small zip lock bag or something.

Hi bro, do you still using this wallet? How's the durability? The gusseted pocket that you use for cash, does Malaysian RM50 & RM100 fit nicely when folded?

Base on RM500-1000 budget, I would suggest Bellroy products for luxury commercial standard. For good quality handmade well known wallet I would suggest Onestarleathergood CXL leather. STR handmade leather wallet and Kisetsu Kaizen Crazy Horse leather wallet.

Currently I am using Bellroy Note Sleeve Designer Edition. (Designer Edition is going to be very limited and rare because Bellroy announce Designer Edition will not be restock). It is really good quality but pricey due to Designers Edition.

I am selling Bellroy Slim Sleeve and Note Sleeve, Onestarleather CXL 6 Pocket Vertical Leather Wallet in Carousel if you interested.

Still waiting for Kisestsu Kaizen shipping.
Still waiting for STR handmade from Lithuania.

And I would like to bring rare wallet to Malaysia if there are collectors and fans here in Malaysia.

Maybe Kamino wallet from Japan, Stirk wallet from Canada and Lejiled wallet from France will coming in.

I am a walletopian, collector and fans of functional wallet.
Please follow up Walletopia Review by Mark if you can.
Rarest and functional wallet is reviewed.

After all this year using wallets, I have come to a conclusion that good wallets is not necessarily come from well known brands. And I am more favor to handmade wallets this days. Following walletopia is one way to know wallets all over the world.

For me consistent and good handmade product is a luxury item. It is thoughtful products by the designer themselves from material selection and functions.

my craft&lore portwallet is on the way

Nice!!

Im currently using a marbled shell cordovan wallet from Ashland Leather. Quality is great and it comes with a lifetime warranty. It gets better with age. The video shows the condition of the wallet after 8 years of use. I doubt any mainstream luxury brand can last that long

wanted to get shell cordovan for my port wallet as well but looking at the price, I might as well buy 2 of the natural chromexcel that probably last me for a lifetime as well besides having a LV cardholder for special occasion. Maybe someday I'll pull the trigger on the shell cordovan leather wallet.

Ashland leather also is as good as Craft & Leather + Onestar leather good brand.
I also prefer natural chromexcel due to Shell Cordovan price really high.
Nomad did some promotion for their nomad wallet shell cordovan due to its anniversary few months back.
The price is affordable, but I let it pass for onestar leather good 6 pocket vertical wallet

I have used Kisetsu Kaizen previously and satisfied with it.
