I'm looking for a Louis Vuitton wallet that will last a while. I don't know much about their wallets (and they have many to choose from) and was wondering what TRF recommends.

Edit: Looking for cards and cash. No slot for coins. I'm particularly interested in what type of leather people recommend.

LV's taiga leather holds up pretty well. However I don't really find their normal vinyl canvas to hold up well. I'm personally a big fan of Bottega Veneta but I have many brands of wallets.

Jazzey · 15 February 2020, 07:15 AM

Really depends what you are looking for.

Cards only? Slot for coins? Cards + cash?

Blansky · 15 February 2020, 07:16 AM

I have this small one I like a lot.

The Mrs. got it in Paree.

andyxxx · 15 February 2020, 07:25 AM

I have that same wallet and wish I'd gone the larger size.
Very hard wearing

Good point. I just updated my main post to reflect that I want cards + cash and no slot for coins.

Blansky · 15 February 2020, 07:28 AM

The one in my picture is not a billfold, just cards.

I also do a moneyclip so don't have cash in the wallet and I don't carry coins.

What’s this one called? What are the measurements? Thanks!

Blansky · 15 February 2020, 07:36 AM

4 3/8 x 3ish. I only want a front pocket wallet.

That's a gift card on top.

andyxxx · 15 February 2020, 07:37 AM

Mines called Debbie. They are only slightly larger than a credit card 110x80mm

Thanks. I’m considering going back to a card holder. I’ve been using a sterling silver Tiffany money clip (4 cards wrapped in some bills). I really enjoy this super minimalist carry.

Nikrnic · 15 February 2020, 07:47 AM

I was at an LV store 3 weeks ago and wasn't impressed for that kind of money, luxury item or not. Check out >Walletera< Many designs too choose from minimalist card holders to folding wallets, just got one, good and tough made leather..

The LV Epi leather holds up the best but I've had much better luck with the the durability of Goyard wallets and bags.

Patton250 · 15 February 2020, 09:00 AM

Try Berluti. Much higher quality. ;-)

locutus49 · 15 February 2020, 09:01 AM

I found Epi leather to be extremely durable. And attractive.

locutus49 · 15 February 2020, 09:03 AM

I have owned both and they both look new after years of use. Surprisingly since the goyard is treated canvas, but it is really durable.

Bellroy has very nice wallets that last. Have had mine for a few years now.

Travelair007 · 15 February 2020, 01:13 PM

I have this one and it’s perfect. I’m amazed. It looks brand new and I’ve had it for 2 years. Mainly kept in my jean pocket.

I totally agree, Epi letter or Goyard.

al3ks · 15 February 2020, 10:09 PM

I have a card holder in EPI-leather that I'm satisfied with. Don't like the edges tho, they tend to look bad after some time

Headshrinker · 16 February 2020, 12:19 AM

I received a LV wallet about thirty years ago, and it still looks new.

Generation · 16 February 2020, 12:46 AM

In terms of durability, how does LV's leather and canvas compare?

Blansky · 16 February 2020, 01:46 AM

The one in my picture is 7 years old. Still flawless.

I really don't care what other people buy and have no dog in this quest. Personally I wouldn't want a canvas one or the one made out of duct tape either.

Mine was a gift and when it wear out in 20 years I won't need a wallet. Maybe make that 10 years.

They are comparable. (In my experience).

wear4l · 16 February 2020, 03:18 AM

LV wallets are known to be very durable, I have had mine for 4years and it still serving it's purpose.

JasoninDenver · 16 February 2020, 03:28 AM

My LV Pocket Organizer (as Blansky posted) is awesome. A few folded bills fit inside yet dont fall out.

After two years, it still looks new. I have epi leather.

arinsd · 16 February 2020, 08:27 AM

Another vote for the LV pocket orangizer. I have 3 and they are a very nice size.
