    Man the long sac and the big bag are some beautiiiiful pieces. I may have to take the plunge and order one as I need a new bookbag. Anyone have a price point on either/both?




    I'm going to check minorityrev right now.....

    L'E has a heavy canvas version of the accordion bag in a small and large size (has leather straps). I poked around for the leather one to get a better look but no luck. The canvas ones were 572E and 650E, respectively. I personally liked the smaller one, seemed more usable for everyday things. I was reminding myself to bring a camera but I forgot as I went out the door :(

        Haven't seen this version - funky chain.

          Nice. Love the chain, but it costs a pretty penny. The rising price of precious metals and the weak dollar aren't helping us U.S. consumers at all. Is the wallet and chain a set offering? Any idea how much that thing is fetching?

                  Yeah, it's a real shame because it's a beauuuutiful piece. Especially when paired with those side closure pants this coming season. That plus the hoodie and this moebius chain wallet is such a lovely look.




                  Damn this chain wallet for being $1200+. The chain itself is something like $700-800. Looks like I'm gonna be heading to home depot and buying myself some thick heavy gauge wire and a soldering iron! [74]

                    LOL! I like the way you think Albert! I agree that the $1200 asking price is too steep for consideration. Actually, I think the chain is priced at around $600 which is still high. If you are serious about producing a DIY version let me know. I might have to hit you up to make one for me as well.



                    Those side closure pants for the spring are beautiful aren't they? Definitely on my list of purchases for the upcoming season. You're a man of choice cuts Albert. Love it brother!

                      is the chain made out of silver?
                      Did you get and like the larger dick?

                        Yeah I'm pretty sure I'm gonna make me a couple of these chain wallets (one for my girlfriend for part of her xmas present and one for myself). If I get the chain technique down, I'll let you know Dave!




                        Joey, I'm pretty sure the chain is silver just based on what Amadei chooses to work with. I'm sure that amount of silver adds to the price a good deal.

                          After some digging, I found an online source for the right gauges of wire. I can kind of understand why the MA+ one is so expensive now... silver wire that is that thick is not cheap!




                          You'll need 3 gauges of wire (you can see it starts off thick and then slowly gets thinner) and probably something close to 4 feet in total of it.




                          I'm gonna order some later tonight and probably hit up home depot this week at some point and get on this this weekend.

                            Right on Albert. That's a cool gift for the gf too. It's always nice when you can add "I made it" to the mix.



                            Joey, the answer is yes. It is made of silver. I don't think he's using 925 silver anymore, but it's pretty close if he isn't.

                                Albert, please let me know where to find the silver wire in that thickness.




                                Thanks!
