    Male Wallet
    I'm looking for a male wallet for my boyfriend for around £100 can anyone recommend any good brands? Just found some good ones by a brand called Launer but I've never heard of it :/ what's it like?

    Also what does Billfold mean? Presumedly that there's a slot for notes?

    Thanks

    If you can stretch to £150, the Mulberry Tri-fold is nice.

    If I was spending that sort of money on a wallet I'd want it to come with £80 already in it :eek:

    Just have a browse around the usual high street clothes shops, they all sell wallets. Next is my favourite shop for them but I don't know if they do ones for that sort of price.

    Mulberry is a very classy brand. High quality too. A Mulberry bag might cost three times as much as another but it will last four times as long in terms of both durability and fashion.

    isn't it a bit of a gay brand? I always associate Mulberry with girl stuff?

    these are lovely, leather, simple design, different colours, last forever, really well made. I have a crocodile one in blue and it never leaves my side, gets all my cards and junk in it. One of the best presents I have ever received

    Well, they obviously make most of their turnover from handbags and purses - but I don't think there's anything particularly gay about the men's lines. They're just expensive and well made. It's not a gay brand like Aussiebum or anything.

    http://www.selfridges.com/en/Menswea...0-ABXA1032W83/ I quite like this one as an alternative to the mulberry one, but idk if the pocket bits make it a bit cheap?

    Aspinal is a good shout - I think it would kind of have to be mail order unless you're in London, though.

    Radley is like poor girl's Mulberry - they have a limited men's collection now. A warning - I bought a Radley purse for someone and it broke after a short time - and there is no guarantee period at all.

    Not sure if they still do the cheaper ones but Dunhill and Montblanc both make excellent wallets, i remember picking up a nice 8cc billfold by Dunhill for £120 5 years or so ago... gave it to my dad when i upgraded to a montblanc one but hes still using it in perfect condition, resiliant little ****ers

    Also Aspinall and Mulberry make some quite nice ones

    I like Next wallets and I love their signature collection of pretty much every thing, but their wallets tend not to have so many places available for cards or enough space for change
