There are really people who are like that, I was like that before, i just roll the money and put in on my pockets, but when I got older I realized its not so appropriate to do such so I bought wallet to organize money and a coin purse for my coins.

Hi there Zelmarq!
Wow! You're wallet is really old. Well, I understand that's because it has a sentimental value.
My oldest wallet is almost six years old and it was given to me as a gift by my sister-in-law when she went home from Japan.

Three years old is already soemthing, it means that you know how to care for your things, I remember I gave someone an expensive wallet for his birthday but he lost it.

Yes, whats beautiful is not always uniform for every body and it would largely depend on our own tastes. Thank you for sharing and have a nice day!

My oldest purse is more than twenty years old. When my youngest son was only six, he went to a garden fete and won it in a raffle, and then he gave it to me for a present. It is made of Donegal tweed and lined with suede. When it began to wear a bit, I decided to put it aside and keep it as a memento.

Wow thats good, i wish someone would give me a wallet, LOL. Thats also the common practice among me, they are not so particular when it comes to wallets, they also have their all time favorites.
Thank you for sharing and have a nice day.

I could not remember when I bought my oldest wallet. But it is indeed worn out. Maybe it is with me for almost three decades already. Older than me! lol

Sadly the oldest one i have is about a year and a half old. Its a purse i crocheted myself. I always stick with the same one til a tear it up so they never last long. I finally made myself one, because if it got a hole in it or anything i know how to fix it properly. But it hasn't torn up and i also have a few now that i switch between so they last longer.

I still have my first wallet given to me by my father way back 15 years ago but
I don't use it anymore I keep it on my cabinet.
I am using now a 3 year old wallet given to me by my partner.The
wallet also I am currently using now is my 2nd wallet,
after the wallet given to me by my late father.
I really treasure wallets and I do not usually change wallet every time
I want. I value it most
