I finally understand what the fuss is all about.
While some will regard them as just another wallet, having seen them for myself in Tokyo certainly changed my personal opinion of Comme des Garçons’ range of wallets and SLGs. Besides being extremely affordable in Japan (they start from around SGD60 or so), they come in a huge variety of finishes, from Colour Embossed to Luxury Group (shown above), to ones not even available online at DSM, including some I picked up that had embossed croc and python skins.
And that’s not even half the fun. The fun is tracking them down, because in Japan Comme des Garçons is huge, and almost everywhere you go, you will find them in little corners in departmental stores, stand-alone shops and even special collaboration counters. You hit one place, you see a couple of designs. You hit another place, you see a little more.
As for me, I’ve already amassed quite a haul, yet somehow I know I’m not nearly done. And because I’ve not seen collections like Manga or Tartan in person, yet, the quest continues so please wish me luck. Besides, if I get lucky, one of you may get lucky too if I decide to do a quick giveaway either on my Facebook fan page or on Twitter. So do keep your eyes peeled!

BB, may I know exactly where did u get this beauty from and how much you paid for it? I want to get it in Feb (hopefully they still have stock by then). Many thanks!
There are many CDG corners in leading department stores but to be safe, check out the flagship and 10 Corso Como, both located in Aoyama.
Thanks BB!
CdG Wallets are a god-send! I literally swear by mine! they are so versatile and good to use!
omg bb the more i look at this the more i like it! possible to help me bag one please????????
Sorry dear, but if I get one for you, I’ll need to get about 15 more for other readers who have emailed me as well.
Why not order it direct from DSM?
