Since you don't want to go as high as an LV (super, super durable), my rec would be Aspinaloflondon.com. I recently bought their "classic" wallet for all of $206 (delivery, duty and box included), and that's less than many I've seen at Coach. It's made in England, too, instead of China.
I really couldn't have been happier with a purchase.
i just bought a hobo international Lauren wallet and its amazing it holds a LOT and is about $100
It is big enough for my money CC's and even my blackberry, a lip gloss it is a small clutch but it also is a large wallet
and it would certainly hold your check book i love love love it
Exterior dimensions: 8 ½’’ x 5 ¼’’ x 2 ½’’
Ooh.. Slush your wallet looks fabulous. Where did you find it?
I love the one at anthropologie Audball67..so cute, but i think I'd like to stay away from brown. However, at that price I may just have to get it anyway!
The one I'm using right now is like a clutch style that you slip your checkbook into. Its a Rafe, and I really like it. I was thinking along the lines of a trifold type but now that I see the Hobo style I'm thinking I might want to try that one! Oh and for those that asked... I really don't want to go over $100. I don't like my wallets to cost more than my bags, and so far I haven't been willing to break the $300 mark for a bag!!!!
