New store, new brand, new wallet. I wanted to find a replacement for my years-old Coach outlet card case, and I thought Italy would be the perfect opportunity to find something nice.
After wandering in and out of Prada, Hermes, LV, etc. I found out that their selection was better than it is at home, but everything was just as expensive...not that I expected anything different.
Mandarina Duck had a cool storefront that lured me in with a large selection of bags, wallets, and all other things leather. I stumbled on a really cool looking two tone leather card case that was about the same size as mine, but constructed in a way where it is able to hold a lot more without getting overly huge.
I loved it, and at only €60, I was sold. I'm a wallet/bag guy, and it usually takes me an abnormally long time to look through the options and make a final decision. I made this decision in 3 minutes, which may as well be a world record, and is definitely indicative of the quality and style.
I'll look online when I get home to see what else they have, but I'm definitely impressed with the quality (and the price) of what I got so far. read more
