So, D&G, as the cool kids say, was born in 1985. Like, way before my time, but still, legendary stuff. Domenico Dolce (born in Sicily, August 13, 1958, apparently!) and Stefano Gabbana, these two Italian dudes, basically built a fashion empire. And it’s all about that *unapologetically* Italian glamour. Think Sophia Loren, think red wine flowing, think… yeah, you get the picture.
Now, their wallets. Look, I’m not gonna lie, I’ve never *owned* a D&G wallet. They’re kinda… pricey, you know? Like, rent-is-due pricey. But I’ve seen ’em. Oh boy, have I seen ’em.
You’ve got the classic leather ones, obviously, all sleek and sophisticated. But then you got the *really* Dolce & Gabbana ones. The ones with the baroque patterns, the animal prints (leopard print, anyone?), maybe a bit of embroidery, ’cause why not? Honestly, sometimes I think they’re trying to cram every single Italian stereotype into one tiny wallet. And I kinda love them for it.
I saw one once that was covered in little roses. Seriously, *covered*. It was gorgeous and gaudy and utterly impractical. I’d be terrified to even touch it, let alone put it in my pocketbook. But that’s kinda the point, isn’t it? D&G isn’t about practicality. It’s about making a statement. It’s about saying, “Yeah, I’ve got a wallet that costs more than your car payment. What of it?”
And honestly, good for them.
But, like, back to the wallets themselves. I’ve heard some people complain about the quality. That the stitching comes undone after a while, or the leather scratches easily. I dunno, maybe they’re just being rough on their wallets? I mean, if I dropped that much cash on a wallet, I’d be treating it like a newborn baby.
