Is it even leather? Just seemed like pleather to me....awful awful. I have been spoiled by florentine. I purchased two at great prices on ILD. Returned them both immediately. Just seemed very cheap feeling and not well made at all.
I have several ") handbags in City Leather and love them. The leather
is smooth and luxe and does soften over time.
I recently purchased a City wallet that I have wanted for a long time.
Because of the structure, it didn't feel as soft as the handbags.
But it still felt like leather to me. I'm sure that since the wallet gets
handled so much (or would if I went anywhere these days),
the leather will soften over time.
I've had a few Florentine wallets that didn't feel that great when I got them.
But with a little use, the leather looked and felt so much better.
I think that since wallets are very structured, stitched, and stacked with layers
of pockets, etc, that they tend to keep the leather stiffer at first.
Just an opinion.
Functionally, my favorite Dooney wallet is the pebble leather
Continental clutch. But, these days I reach for a smaller wallet
more often. I prefer the snap closure to the zip around. But I've gotten
a few Flo small zip around wallets because of their size. The bigger Flo
wallets are just too heavy to carry. But I love looking at them.
