I want a nice wallet to house my new prime cards. :)

Kendro — Sun, 10 Jun 2012 20:14:48 GMT

I've added an AMEX BCE and Discover More to my prime collection and was thinking of buying a name brand wallet to store them. It would be my first name brand wallet because in the past ten years, I've only owned two cheap $40 wallets from Macy's. That's right, I averaged one wallet every 5 years so I don't mind spending a good amount for something that will last me a long time. Is it worth spending $300 for a Gucci or Prada wallet? Louis Vuitton seems a little too much at $500. What kind of walllets do you guys use? Doesn't matter if you are male or female. :)

A nice Louis Vuitton wallet will last you a long time. I've had mine for about 10 years, so worked out about $35 per year... and it still smells (almost) new! Definitely shop around though, some places are way too expensive.

I have a Tommy Hilfigure wallet that I've had since 2007. I don't carry my wallet with me too often. Most of the time I keep it in my backpack which I carry all the time. My backpack is like an office on wheels. I certainly would not spend over $50 on a wallet. Now if you were talking about designer sunglasses, I would spend up to $300. Protecting the eyes is priceless. Everything in your wallet can be replaced.

I love Fossil but I'm a simple guy. Working the nerve to drop a bunch of money on the LV. Maybe for my bday next month...it's a thought :)

I don't know the brand of my wallet since the name has worn off long ago.

I tend to loose nice wallets.

LOL my dad asked about the gator wallet be gave me 5 years after it went to wallet heaven. I should have told him I left it at the beagle farm in VA where he and my mom told us Georgy Girl went when we were kids.

Stewart Stand Wallets:

http://www.amazon.com/Stewart-Stand-Driving-Wallet-Silver/dp/B002IEW9UU/ref=sr_1_25?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1339359866&sr=1-25&keywords=stewart+stand+wallet

I have one - there is no area to place cash - but holds 6 cards and you can put small pieces of paper on the inside. It's super slim. Can put in front jeans pocket.

It blocks RFID readers. And it's metal - it feels really weird (in a good way) to brush your finger along the outside!

About $60-70. High recommend - they have other types just search on amazon!

Broccoli rubber~band around wad of cash with cards tucked in. It's more or less free and ensures street cred anywhere.

Those wallets look too homely for the asking price.

The material seems very tough but at the same time looks like it will get warped easily when you sit on it. Does it wear easily?

Hate to say it 'cause it sounds cheap, but I got the Aluma Wallet after getting all my new cards and wanting to keep them in good condition. Leather & fabric wallets eventually destroy everything once they break in.

The Aluma Wallet's actually working out pretty well. All my cards are in pristine condition.

Anyone I've come across w/, that has the aluma-wallet, raves about them.

I personally spent $20 on a new leather Geoffrey Bean (sp?) wallet, and though it houses everything quite nicely, I'm still having buyers remorse - nevermind $350

I have always used a Coach wallet. They are decently priced and the leather is durable and last a long time.

You'll never catch me with a rubberband around my cards, kinda tacky in my book.

I still use (daily) the Coach leather wallet I bought back in 1999. If I could find that style again, I'd buy a new one. Still, this one probably has another 5 years on it.
