MY LV coated canvas wallet, which I have had almost 3 years, looks like new. I used it every day, and at least 3-5 times a week it gets shoved in the pocket of my tennis bag. It should be showing wear...but is not. For Christmas, I recieved a small Gucci Blooms card case/wallet, which now I am using every day, with small bags. I still is somewhat stiff, and ony being 3 months old, is brand new. I have yet to see how it wears, but EVERY time I pull it out of my handbag, I am in love with it. That counts for something!
