I have the purple gathered wallet and I still love it. I bought it during the last PCE and haven't switched out yet. The pleats in the leather look as good as the day I bought it. The pleats are pretty close to the wallet, so it would take a lot, I think, to damage them. I love mine. I was worried about spending that much on just a wallet but I love it and it's something I use every day.
I completely agree! I cannot get over how absolutely wonderful this wallet is. The quality is just amazing, I've used it every day since I bought it during PCE and it still looks as good as the day I bought it.Same here! It looks as good as the day I bought it last September. The pleats never distort or shift. This wallet is not delicate at all. I highly recommend it!
