░░░░░░░░░░ The Sleekest Wallet ░░░░░░░░░░

[Made in California]

I was in the Gucci store the other day looking for baby monogram shoes when I happened across the following wallet:

I absolutely love this wallet because it is SO stream-lined. It is literally exactly what I need as I carry some cash, less than 6 cards total and no change (why would I?). I have never seen a wallet like this that is basically a standard bi-fold with the top chopped off and slightly narrower.

There are only a couple of issues, however they're big issues:

1. It has the interlocking 'G' on the front. I'd feel like an a-hole busting it out, especially considering I'd be using it all the time and I can think of plenty of scenarios where having an obnoxious logo like that can backfire.

2. It's $170, which is more than I'd like to pay for a black bi-fold.



So my questions are as follows:

A) Can I or a leather expert remove the 'G' from the front of this wallet? I can't imagine they could because you would have the glue residue underneath still.

B) Where can I find an alternative to this super-sleek, minimalistic bi-fold?

Dont know about B, but A - cant be done. Im sure there will be an imprint in the leather if you take it off, and probably a hole too.

But how the hell did you get the title of this thread to do that?

I have seen literally hundreds of wallets like this in my life, ranging from $10-$1000. This cannot possibly be hard to find.

I got the same exact style wallet, except that it also had a nice compartment for my ID card, at TJ Maxx for about $12.

Just bought a Bosca wallet from the Rack for $20 and it's even sleeker, and black, with no logo. Thin and wonderful. No need to pay Gucci's outrageous price.

I have a Tod's wallet that's exactly what you want. Same design without the gaudy metal logo.

It was a gift.

In the 80's, eelskin wallets were all the rage because they were supposed to be thin, and light.

At Dollarama. Price $1.00 (It may have gone up to $1.50) Buttery soft leather too. No joke.

I am realizing based on the some of the responses that it would have been good if I had been more specific. After having a very compact black wallet with 3 cards slots and display (purchased at a Coach outlet), I have since decided that I do not want a wallet with a display slot. It ends up being more of an inconvenience than a convenience in the long run. To be more exact, the wallet would have - 4 horizontal card slots - No display - Barely wide enough for dollar bills - Good quality leather - The color is not extremely important. Black is okay, but I would also like (or even prefer) espresso or blue or an exotic like alligator. The primary concern is the shape. I mention the quality of the leather as a factor because I am currently using what I consider to be a pretty nice Boregart wallet, and I'd feel odd paying for a large downgrade in quality.

I'm on the Bosca website right now in the bi-fold section, but I can't find what you're talking about. Is the one you have on their website?

You still never said how you do that with the title string.
