I rarely warm to metallic leathers, but Comme des Garcons shows the potential in the material with this eye-popping wallet.
This wallet is a real trip. The intriguing metallic leather throws different rainbow colors as you turn it this way and that. It’s almost holographic, and that effect is enhanced by the nubbly texture. I can’t quite work out whether it belongs in the 1960s or the future. Either way, I love the look.
Comme des Garcons seems to have all but forgotten the interior though. It’s very simple, and likely to turn off serious shoppers. However what’s done here is done well, as we’d expect from the brand. The cash slot and coin pouch make a good start, but the trio of card slots leaves me wanting more.
My rational side says that for $269, we should find functionality as well as form. But my hedonistic nature is swooning over that finish, and wanting to throw caution to the wind. Has this head-turning wallet won you?
