The two choices are between Gucci and Mont Blanc.

Now, I obviously gravitate towards Gucci because of the brand BUT they don't disclose the type of leather. With Mont Blanc, I know it's calfskin full grain leather so I know it's the best quality available. Gucci says only "marmont" or "smooth black" which are made up bullshit Gucci uses to advertise their stuff. I don't know if it's good quality like Mont Blanc or Wal-Mart grade bullshit with GG smacked on it.

Walmart has some nice leather ones for $20, last one I bought lasted nearly 10 years.

Spending $450 on a wallet seems ironically asinine, but if that's your thing, I like the Mont Blanc one more.

I have a Gucci wallet and I absolutely love it but I dont care for that one you linked. I generally prefer leather with some sort of texture to it, not smooth like that.

Can say the quality on mine is excellent

I can't answer for him specifically but they just look like regular old wallets. Generally I feel like expensive purchases should either be hella stylish/creative or superb functionality or both. That just looks like any other wallet you can get with branding on it to make it artificially worth more. Especially the Gucci one; it's just meant to tell other people "Hey, I have something by Gucci". It would be way cooler if the wallet actually looked super nice too, instead of like every other wallet.

It's one of those things where I don't think I'd buy it even if I was super rich.

I mean yeah, it's what one would call a purchase purely for "status". I understand it's purely because of the brand.

The Gucci GG Tiger Bifold. Its canvas and leather with a big tiger head on it. Love it. I would post the link but its too big and I cant tinyurl it rn

Also some people dont understand that sometimes you just want luxury.

Okay hold on, they make wallets out of ostrich skin. You're lucky I found this before you spent money on that Gucci one TC. You need one of these in your life instead.

i agree with this, not because i give a fuck about leather wallets but because ostrich are soulless monsters and i support killing them and turning them into frivolous bullshit.

They're both luxury brands although Gucci is more recognizable by the average person while Mont Blanc isnt.
