RJnomore1 · 29/12/2017 20:25

He's going to be 40; im taking him on holiday but he needs a present to open and he needs a new wallet.

I want to get him a really nice one, don't mind how much it costs within reason but hoping I can get something in the sales because I'm like that 😬

Any ideas please?

Aspinals?

Pirandello24 · 29/12/2017 20:26

Check out the beautiful ones in Shinola 😍

Ted baker ?

ilovewinterpansies · 29/12/2017 20:33

Mulberry wallets are gorgeous and last and last.

naichick · 29/12/2017 20:33

Montblanc or dunhill whats your budget op?

Got a lovely Ted Baker wallet in John Lewis sale. £55 now £33. Real leather, two toned inside and silky inner bits. Has a metal corner to keep its shape.

I was just looking at the mulberry site but got panicked.

His existing wallet is a bi fold one if that helps and he seems happy with it for cards and notes and his change rattling round in pockets 😳

It's personal and if you get it right he will always use it. Does he like the one he uses? Probably, so I'd go for an almost identical one but a luxury brand one.

RJnomore1 · 29/12/2017 20:41

Budget probably about £200 though could go a bit more. Alternative would be budget about £50 from the kids and something else nice at about £200 from me if anyone has ideas.

As it's his 40th I'd like something special.

Paul Smith?

Tusting. Beautifully made, longstanding British firm.

My first tusting bag is more than 30 years old. They replaced the zip free of charge a couple of years ago.

Oops forgot to say that DH’s wallet is the Harrold classic, he tends to get five years out of them before I buy him a new one which isn’t bad considering.

What do you think of this? www.mulberry.com/gb/shop/men/mens-small-leather-goods/mens-wallets/8-card-wallet-with-tree-plaque-midnight-smooth-calf

I'll look at the other recommendations thankyou

Smythson may be worth a look too (ignore the horrible camo ones)

I agree with MyKingdomForBrie, try Aspinal

ilovewinterpansies · 29/12/2017 21:02

Op the mulberry one is lovely, I love the logo bit! My hubby has a similar styled one and it's still going strong (had it for about 7 years).

BubblesBuddy · 30/12/2017 01:24

Louis Vuitton. Absolutely the best. DH has two. It says something about a man when he gets out a LV wallet!

BarchesterFlowers · 30/12/2017 07:27

What do you think it says Bubbles?

OP I like the mulberry one, bit ‘City formal’ for my tastes but you will know what he will like.

Luckingfovely · 30/12/2017 07:35

Mulberry, Aspinal, Smythsons stand out from the rest.

tailspin · 30/12/2017 07:50

I got a Mulberry one for my DH which is beautiful and has lasted really well for years now

Salene · 30/12/2017 07:53

Fairfax and Favor

They will personalise it too

Smythson. Understated.

I've had couple of things handmade to my specifications by this lovely woman in Devon: www.hilaryjohnsonhandmade.co.uk/shop/accessories.html
She will make things bespoke to commission, the leather she uses is beautiful and her customer service is great and fast, she made a custom satchel bag for me in less than a fortnight. A piece by her would easily fall into the budget you've set for the kids and would be unique. I used to be a mulberry fan but won't go back there now.

feckoffpeppapig · 30/12/2017 09:48

Aspinals of London... My Hubby has one and i have a bag, the leather is the best quality I've ever seen and has lasted him a good few years without damage
