NIB = NEW IN BOX.
THIS IS BRAND NEW AND HAS NEVER BEEN USED NOR TAKEN OUT OF THE ORIGINAL BOX TILL THESE PICTURES TAKEN HERE.
A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, PORSCHE GERMANY (PAG) STOPPED PRODUCING THE "PORSCHE DESIGN DRIVER'S SELECTION CATALOG" WHICH WAS AN ANNUAL CATALOG OF FACTORY OFFERED, LICENSED AND AUTHORIZED PORSCHE GOODIES. IN LIEU OF THE DRIVER'S SELECTION CATALOG, THEY HAVE INTRODUCED THE "SELECT PORSCHE MAGAZINE" WHICH IS TO BE RELEASED/PUBLISHED ANNUALLY, THEN BI-YEARLY AND NOW IT APPEARS THAT THEY HAVE SETTLED ON A QUARTERLY PUBLICATION.
UNFORTUNATELY, THEY (AT "SELECT" MAGAZINE) HAVE GOTTEN AWAY FROM FEATURING AND PROMOTING THEIR COOL AND UNIQUE ACCESSORIES. THIS MAGAZINE IS MORE OF A SELF PROMOTIONAL "GO PORSCHE" HIT PIECE IN WHICH THEY FILL IT WITH HUGE IRRELEVANT PHOTOS OF NON-RELATED PEOPLE AND OBJECTS. YOU GET THE FEELING THAT IF DR. PORSCHE'S SENIOR HAD A DAUGHTER .... THIS "SELECT MAGAZINE" WOULD BE HER PET PROJECT!
CASE IN POINT, THIS NEW WALLET IS GIVEN A FULL 1.5 INCHES X 1.5 INCHES OF ADVERTISING SPACE AND THIS IS BURIED IN THE BACK OF THIS MAGAZINE ON PAGE 70 AND IT'S IN BLACK AND WHITE! HELL A POSTAGE STAMP IS LARGER AND CLEARER THEN THE PICTURE OF THIS WALLET. AND THEY ADD INSULT TO INJURY AS NO DESCRIPTION EXISTS ..... PERIOD! DAMN SHAME IF YOU ASK ME!!!
EVEN THOUGH THEY TOTALLY DIMINISHED THE IMPACT AND THE ORIGINAL CONCEPT OF THIS GOODIES MAGAZINE, THE ITEMS THEY "POORLY FEATURE" ARE VERY NICE QUALITY PIECES AND IT'S A SHAME THEY DO THEMSELVES NO JUSTICE HERE.
OK ENOUGH OF MY OPINION HERE..... BACK TO THE WALLET!
THIS WALLET OPENS UP LIKE A BOOK, IT'S A BILLFOLD BY DESIGN. AND ONCE YOU OPEN THIS WALLET, TO THE LEFT YOU HAVE A MESH PHOTO ID WINDOW TAB. I SAY TAB AS THIS SECTION LIFTS UP AND IS ATTACHED TO THE BALANCE OF THE WALLET. BELOW THIS TAB (ON IT'S UNDERSIDE), YOU HAVE THREE (3) "V" SHAPED CUT-OUTS FOR CREDIT CARDS. I WOULD SAY THAT EACH CUT HOLDS UP TO TWO (2) CREDIT CARDS COMFORTABLY. IN ADDITION, THE FIRST CUT OUT IS A FULL SIZED POCKET WHICH HOLDS MORE THEN JUST A SINGLE CREDIT CARD (OR SIMILAR SIZED ITEM). DIRECTLY BELOW THE LIFTED OR HINGED SECTION, YOU REPEAT THE "V" SHAPED CUT-OUTS AND HERE YOU HAVE FOUR (4) STEPPED SECTIONS FOR YOUR CREDIT CARDS. HERE YOU ALSO HAVE TWO (2) FULL SIZE POCKETS JUST BELOW THE CUT-OUTS FOR THE CREDIT CARDS.
TO THE RIGHT, OR ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE CREDIT CARDS/WALLET, YOU HAVE A SNAPPED GUSSETED CHANGE POUCH. THIS IS GREAT FOR YOUR DAILY STASH OF PILLS, OR FOR HOLDING A SINGLE KEY AND/OR OF COURSE CHANGE OR A TOKEN OF SORTS.
LASTLY YOU HAVE A DUAL FULL SIZE POCKET FOR PAPER CURRENCY WHICH CAN EASILY HOLD OTHER DOCUMENTATION AS WELL (IF SO DESIRED/NEEDED).
THIS WALLET IS TYPICAL OF "PORSCHE DESIGN". THEY USE SOME OF THE FINEST LEATHER AVAILABLE AND THE FINEST CRAFTSMANSHIP AVAILABLE! WITH THIS WALLET, THEY ADDED IN A NICE SMOOTH FINISH THROUGHOUT IT.
THIS WALLET IS A VERY CLEAN ITEM AND IS EASY TO ORGANIZE AS YOU QUICKLY SEE WHAT IT IS YOUR SEARCHING FOR. THE ADDED COMPARTMENTS ALLOW YOU GREAT FLEXIBILITY WHEN ONE NEEDS CONSTANT VIEWING OF A PHOTO ID.
THIS WALLET CLOSED MEASURES OUT AT 4 3/4 INCHES X 3 3/4 INCHES X 3/4 INCH (12 X 9.5 X 2CM). WHEN OPENED ONCE, THE LENGTH EXPANDS TO 9 1/2 INCHES (24CM).
AS YOU CAN SEE IN MY PICTURES, YOU HAVE THE PORSCHE LOGO (CREST) STAMPED ON THE CENTER OF THE OPENING SIDE OF THIS WALLET. IN ADDITION, THEY HAVE THEIR OTHER LOGO, PORSCHE IN SCRIPT JUST BELOW THE HINGED PHOTO ID SECTION.
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT MY PICTURES AS THESE DO A FAR BETTER JOB OF SHOWING YOU EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THAT YOU WILL BE RECEIVING FROM ME VS. MY WORDS. ALSO NOTE THAT THESE PICTURES DO BECOME AN IMPORTANT OF THE DESCRIPTION. IF YOU'D LIKE ANY ADDITIONAL PICTURES, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK.
ORIGINALLY "PORSCHE DESIGN" MADE ALL OF THE SMALL LEATHER GOODS IN GERMANY. THEN IN AN EFFORT TO SAVE MONEY, THEY CONTRACTED SOME OF THESE SMALL LEATHER GOODS TO MANUFACTURES IN ITALY, CHINA, THAILAND AND THEN BOSNIA. NOW IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE THEIR GOODS ALIGN WITH THE STANDARDS OF WHICH THE GERMAN CRAFTSMAN ARE KNOWN FOR (AND FOR NATIONALISM REASONS).... THEY HAVE BROUGHT BACK ALL OF THESE TYPES OF SMALL LEATHER GOODS AND NOW MAKE THEM EXCLUSIVELY IN GERMANY. THE WALLET HERE WAS/IS MADE IN BOSNIA TO "PORSCHE DESIGN" EXACTING HIGH STANDARDS. THROUGHOUT THIS ERA, "PORSCHE DESIGN" MAINTAINED ALL OF THE DESIGN AND LAY-OUT DESIGNS EXCLUSIVELY IN GERMANY..... SO MUCH FOR NATIONALISM!!
THIS NEW "PORSCHE DESIGN" WALLET WILL BE SENT TO THE WINNER VIA THE USPS PRIORITY MAIL WITH AND ATTACHED TRACKING NUMBER ATTACHED FOR BOTH OF OURS PROTECTION (ON DOMESTIC SHIPMENTS ONLY). I DO COMBINE MY ORDERS AND AUTOMATICALLY CREDIT ALL OF THE UN~USED POSTAGE FEES WITHOUT YOU HAVING TO ASK AS THIS IS MY SOP (STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE).
FOR MY INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS, THIS WILL BE PLACED INTO EBAY'S "GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM (GSP)". UNFORTUNATELY, IN THE PAST I HAVE HAD SOME RUN-IN'S WITH SOME UNSCRUPULOUS FOLKS WHO BY THEIR VERY NATURE "DO NOT PLAY WELL WITH OTHERS". SO IN AN ATTEMPT TO MAKE THIS WORK FOR ALL, WHILE AFFORDING ME, THE SHIPPER, SOME ADDITIONAL PROTECTION, I HAVE OPTED TO GIVE EBAY'S GSP A GO.
AS SUCH, PLEASE NOTE THAT I DO "NOT" CALCULATE NOR REQUEST ANY ADDITIONAL FUNDS FOR "IMPORT FEE'S OR DUTIES". THIS IS THE SOLE DOING OF EBAY WHO MAKES THIS REQUEST BASED ON YOUR GOVERNMENTS IMPORT REQUIREMENTS. SO PLEASE DO NOT FAULT ME WHEN IT'S TIME TO LEAVE YOUR FEEDBACK AS I HAVE NO MORE CONTROL OVER THIS THEN YOU DO!
THIS WILL BE OFFERED IN THE BUY-IT-NOW FORMAT, AS THIS IS A TWO-OF-A-KIND OFFERING BY ME AND I DO HAVE A FEW OTHER STYLES OF WALLETS FROM "PORSCHE DESIGN" WHICH ARE CURRENTLY LISTED AT THIS TIME.
