woodcock11 Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Well ive cruised the net for inspiration,and can still none the wiser ,im looking for a nice leather wallet for my sons birthday.The only one that took my fancy was one by Aspinal's of London,it must have a coin pocket.Can anyone give me some recommendations? Well if you want real class and your budget is not stretched [Aspinal suggests that it is not] then have a look at the first few items here. http://www.smythson.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=WALLETS+FOR+MEN+WITH+COIN+PURSE I do not have a wallet from Smythson, but we do have a large Visitors Book bought about 12 years ago [£450.00] and we are as happy with it now as when we first bought it. The trouble is that it is getting close to full and we will need to save up for a new one..... As I am sure you are aware, what you pay for is what you get - I guess it must be a significant birthday for your son - I hope he has a really great one and the best of luck with the shopping!

keg Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 (edited) Good suggestion Jim, in the same vein, The Bridge are also excellent. We gave away Aspinal wallets and purses as gifts to our customers last year and they loved them. Edited April 4, 2014 by keg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
