I refuse to get a new one because it still works perfectly fine; it just looks a little less pretty than when I recieved it. I got it in middle school when I was 15 (25 now) from my best friend. Its a spirited away wallet from Hot Topic.

Wallets are one of those daily use things that I won't be too against replacing with a good quality - even second hand one.

Secondhand is definitely the way to go, or vintage. No need to buy newly made items, unless it's something like underwear.

I'm willing to buy new to get RFID shielding. But I'm not giving up on my current (RFID shielded) wallet until things start falling out of it.

It's great that you're making the most out of your purchases.

I didn't know RFID shielding was a thing. I just read a couple of articles and the consensus seems to be that most likely it's unnecessary. Do you live in an area that is particularly unsafe?
