Wallet and Belt

How is it, that all the good, decent looking stuff such as Notebook covers, Card Holders, Spinning things, to name but a few all come from the US!

I'm getting murdered in Shipping costs!:eek:

Yeah he's really great to deal with - as @Batch300 might be able to testify to

On the topic of North America vs UK goods there are a slew of amazing craftmen in the UK making similar products in the categories you mentioned :)

Spinners: rotablade.com - probably one of the top 5 high-end companies constantly recommended. Their stubby looks great.

Wallets: Kazakhsha makes some extremely nice high-end wallets in the UK. They are very elaborate - like pieces of art.

Trove does amazing looking modern looking wallets in the UK

Kingsleyleather in the UK is on the expensive side...but really nice...

Bond & Knight in the UK is bringing back an old 40's design in wallets

Now, do I still love Popov? You bet! I just wanted to remind that there might be options locally that are also appealing :)
 
I looked at Rotablade and wouldn't spend £100 on a Fidget toy, no way. Like you said there are other options available and like yourself I like quality and something that's different.

Bellroy are doing a similar line of card wallets at a price, but not as good looking, and probably mass produced somewhere. Whereas Popov is his own company that's handcrafted.

I've been using bi-sided wallets for years and just fancy something that's different and Popov ticks the boxes.

You won't be disappointed.
My bifold is about a year old now and I swear it still have that amazing leather scent and it looks even better now with some wear. The stitching is 100% intact as well

And yes, the GBP 100 price tag for the rotablades is a tad much to invest in a toy for me as well. Having said that I truly enjoy the approx $50 brass one I got :)

I saw those. Apparently a good one will last for years.

25 years with a half life around 12 years where the light is reduced with about 40%

I have a local artisan that whips up these really nice mini lanterns in brushed brass for $50 incl shipping and choice of trit color.

I'm just worrying if I'm going too Japanese school girl on my keychain if I put one on it :)

Maybe I should put one on my phone so I can find the damn thing these dark mornings :)
