Nice Wallet
Nice Wallet. Beautiful leather and stitching. Card holds are really tight but might loosen up in time.

Reply from Maxwell-Scott
We are happy to hear you like the wallet, in particular the leather and the stitching. The card holder pockets would become looser over time through use. We do not hold large amounts of stock for our items, therefore most will have just been made in Italy, therefore may seem a bit stiff to start with. Charlotte Forshaw - Customer Services Manager

Great product but you do have to pay for quality. Only lacking a star as advertised for two day delivery when not actually in stock! Still, worth waiting the week.
