When do you replace your wallet and other SLGs?

[grietje]

My last wallet was a LV Porte Ettui and I used it for years and it never seemed to show wear. Th on,y reason I changed it was because I was bitten by the Bottega Veneta bug. I have two wallets now and change them at a season's change.

Great wallet, Doreen. What is that mark from? That's kind of odd. I'm not a perfectionist, but I would want to know what was up with that mark. Well, maybe I am? I recently changed from a Coach signature canvas (great purple) because it was looking dirty. Some wear didn't bug me but dirty did.

It's from wear, where the metallic finish has rubbed off.

That's the reason I don't buy any fragile leather wallets and slg.

Mine is LV canvas. It's unbeatable! Looks like new.

Ill change it bcs I'm too tired of using it for many many years.

I will not replace my wallet until it is literally falling apart.

Bummer. Can it be repaired?

I keep 5-6 wallets and rotate them. If and when they start cracking, then I will give away one by one. I don't think that I have to worry about it for awhile

Doreenjoy, I think your Ferragamo wallet has plenty of life left in it.
In the past I replaced my wallets when I got tired of them. I'm not hard on wallets so I never wore them out.
When I got my prada wallet a couple of years ago, it was so much more expensive, and so special to me that I promised myself I'd use it forever (or for a long time anyway). It's soft deerskin leather and it is showing a bit of wear but nothing major and I'm not planning to replace it in the foreseeable future.

I do the same...

^ Me too. Or until the pockets get so stretched out that the cards fall out the top of the wallet (happened on a Coach wallet back in the day).

It depends, If I love it and it's the best wallet I have ever had then I will wait until it's falling apart but if It's just a okay wallet that I never loved I would look for reasons to replace it and the OP reasons would be one of them

The one thing I can't live with is when the slots go gooey and it gets all over your cards (I think it's glue that breaks down after while).

Usually I stick to one wallet until it wears out (broken zipper where the wallet didn't cost enough to justify repairing, 'gooiness' or seams coming apart).

Right now my wallet is a two year old LV ZCP that still looks brand new so I can't think of any reason to change.

When it falls apart like completely, or has gotten a hole.
