Are wallets and accessories too expensive?

[LV Rawks]

I just carry no name brand wallets...well, Fossil, which has really nice and soft leather. I would much rather spend the money on a new bag!

Good to know i'm not the only one.

Yes, they are. I'd rather put my money toward more bags! I'll buy a Kate Spade or Coach wallet on sale for <$100 and carry the same wallet everyday until it falls apart!

If they were just $100.00 less - then it would be worth it. sigh.

The French Purse is the wallet I had been eyeing! I think you may have just convinced me to go for the gusto and get it!

Go for it! You won't regret it, it will provide you with many, many years of use!

I got a couple of MJ wallets at Century 21 last time I was in NY, and have been happy with them. Cause they're so cheap, I don't care about throwing them around! I'm going back NY soon, so I'm hoping to pick up a few more!

Personally, I love to match my bags with wallets... but I've only been able to do it with two. My Dooney and Bourke Bee Barrel has a wallet in its print... but it's $165!!!! That's $10 more than the bag itself! D: I could never afford to get a wallet for that much money... nor would I really want to!

I throw my wallet around, and it still looks great and hasn't cracked a stitch. Plus it was cheap, about $20, from J.Crew. I've had it for two years, and I can't really understand why that would be a long time for a wallet? Haven't had much experience wallet-buying, but anything that breaks under a year imo is bad quality.

On another note, my dad has a Pierre Cardin wallet that he's used religiously for about twenty years. It's starting to fray, but is still holding up admirably.

Yes wallets are way to expensive. It is a good thing I am picky about my wallet or I would have a lot more. I have to have a spot for my ID. The wallet I have now is a Coach and I love it. It has the ID slot on the very back. So when I am asked for ID I do not have to look for it and pull it out. It is right there. I wish more wallets were like that.

I agree brand name wallets are quite expensive, you can buy a bag with it! I have a LV lilac epi wallet which gets dirty very easily so I didn't think it was worth the money. I also have an old black patent Cartier wallet which I pretty much tortured =P I really like the LV vernis wallet but I much rather buy a bag. Why don't you try Coach, Luella, MJ wallets? They're pretty cute too but they won't burn a hole in your wallet =)
