Wallet This Wallet That
Color: Light Brown
I bought this wallet to replace my old wallet that was falling apart, and probably 10 years old and so I was due for one! This one looks great and is very functional with many compartments for credit cards and a special compartment for the my ID, and it also provides a protection thing that keeps people from stealing my credit card information and also has room for pictures and there are two large compartments for cash and other miscellaneous paper items. I love the light brown, real soft leather look of it and so far it is really durable and I love it. It was a good buy and priced really well!
