I second that. I was gifted one… more than 15 years ago and it’s still in perfect condition. Wouldn’t say like new but there’s no real sign of wear and tear on it and I’ve used it continually since then. Edit: just to add, mine’s fabric with a zipper. Zipper’s top shape still.

This is what I recommended as well. Brands like that make awesome quality leather goods. My Gucci card holder has held up better than anything I’ve tried before, and it gets a lot of use

Something from a luxury leather brand will last a long time. I’ve carried a Gucci card holder in my pocket everyday for 3 years and it still has the same elasticity when you take a card out as it did new. Still looks amazing.

I had multiple jansport but they didnt last long. They where both velours and i did put heavy books in them. I now have fjallraven and the quality is amazing. I use it now 4 years everyday and still is perfect. But if you want more basic, i think of kipling (great quality) or eastpack (cheaper)

If you ever start to feel bad about it, just remember the girl who thought the common expression for a kid having a growth spurt was “grower not a shower” and used that to describe her brother, for years, anytime someone mentioned how tall he was getting.

It’ll be a balmy day in hell before she lives that down.

I'd check out London brands Ettinger, Swaine Adeney, or (the now defunct) Papworth. New they may be over your budget, but I picked up an as new Swaine Adeney briefcase for £500 which is brilliant and will last many lifetimes

I was recently looking for the same. Check out Lo&Sons wallets! Thoughtful designs and their slim wallet can hold a passport too. They also use quality materials like leather link here
