Anyone know any decent shops to buy wallets from?

I am looking for something very specific.

I need a wallet that is very soft and lightweight.

It need to have a clear bit for my ID card and on the other side I just need 2 or 3 slots for credit cards

Something like that but cheaper! - preferably with a slot to hold 3 cards though.

Any clues?

the problem with that one is that it doesnt seem to have a lot at the top for notes either! (even if you would have to bend them

Launer wallets aren't cheap but my OH has had his about 10 years now and it's still going strong. If it's good enough for Queenie......

This is what I have:

IMO the smaller the wallet the better - doesn't result in unsightly bulges, no rips in back pocket, and ca be moved to a front pocket when in a busy place to avoid pick pockets.

Cheaper than £29????
I cannot actually think of a figure that is lower than that , it is so tiny.

I think you had better just put them in your pocket.

Christ-I didnt know you could get those for less than £29 nowadays!!!
That is an absolute bargain.
Either that or you aren't actually trying to help- merely exclaiming "Look at me everyone-I have a mont blanc wallet. I am great"

I got one of these delivered last week:



They're made by a small Canadian firm but was impressed by

a) it has somewhere for plectra to go (if you're a guitarist

b) the general quality and finish.

They also do a gayer, non-guitar one if that's your bag...I think they were around $100 so a bit over your budget but feels like it will last for ever...

ETA - the firm are http://www.braithwaitewallets.com
