Paul Smith does a lovely clutch bag, my missus has got one and says it goes with all her shoes. She keeps notes and coins in it!

surely only women do keep coins in something like that? men put coins in their pockets don't they?

i have fabric wallets from the likes of animal that have zipped bits on them

I dont like carrying 5 quids worth of change in my pockets, number 1 its annoying, 2. it could fall out and 3 if you have a mobile phone in one pocket and forget which pocket you put your change in then your going to get a nice scratched screen.
I was just after a nice wallet except with a zip part so i can stuff some change in there, i didnt think i was asking for that much but it appears i was

I've no idea if ive just always used cheap and nasty wallets in my life but the Ducti is really cool and hard wearing compared to all other wallets Ive had, its also light and really comfortable when in your back pocket... I can't fault it
I admit i brought it for a gimmick but its actually a really good hard wearing wallet

sorry but they look f*cking dreadful

imagine taking your wallet out to pay for dinner and them seeing what looks like 'one you made earlier' from a roll of rape tape

its really strange how much interest people have in them when you pull them out, the amount of times ive been at a bar with a drunk stranger buying the rounds as he does not want to miss out a blue peter lesson on how to make a wallet

Im also sad enough to have brought a roll of tape and attempted to copy it, its not easy, they are really well thought out

I personally brought it for a bit of fun,but they are actually very good wallets imho

It sits in your pocket most of the time so i aint too fussed, i just wanted a half decent looking wallet with a coin compartment, this one is "different" from the rest so why not

Well worth the £19. It's not as easy as it looks.



Although there's no chance of losing money. It's fucking stuck to the inside now.

They are not as thin as they look and wear really well, Ive never ripped mine even after falling off my bike (although the wallet now has road rash) ... if you damage it and send it back they actually send you another... but they are a little rubbery, perhaps thats why I like them so much

Next do lovely leather wallets with change sections

Really good quality

Nothing looks as nice as a slim sharp black leather wallet

I've just bought this but not used it yet. I'm still waiting for my Next one to die a death...it doesn't want to and gets opened up to many times for my liking





I think they usually sell for £90 or something like that. I didnt pay that much

i dont do wallets. i have loose change in one pocket, cards in my other pocket (in a 'kind' of small holder for bank cards) and my notes in my back pocket.

that way theres not a chance of me losing everything in one hit when some kunt swipes it.

or...if you drop it by accident.

£90? sod that for a wallet, you'd have no money to put in it after getting that
