Not for me . I bought a Taiga credit card holder from LT for my SO. But I am having 2nd thoughts that it may not be as durable as the Epi stuff since my SO is quite rough on his wallet (I buy him a new one almost every year)
I think the taiga will hold up better than epi. My husband bought a taiga desk agenda and the texture on it was amazingly tough. It would take a lot for it to show wear. I also think it's more masculine looking than the epi.
I think the Taiga is tougher but I don't own any pieces from either line. I just think it is based ont he few times I've seen stuff from the two lines.
