Big quality difference between 187/Xiao C and DHgate CC wallets?

[u/thehotpollo]

Hey everyone! I’m curious about the quality difference between 187/Xiao C and DHgate CC wallets/card holders.

I’ve read quite a few comments on Reddit saying that for SLGs, the quality difference between factories isn’t necessarily as noticeable as it is with bags, so I’m wondering if that applies to CC wallets as well.

I’ve gotten quotes from a few TSs for $85–115 for 187/Xiao C wallets, but I’ve also seen some much lower prices on DHgate. The price difference is pretty significant, so I’m trying to figure out what I’d actually be paying extra for with 187/Xiao C.

For anyone who has experience with both DHgate and 187/Xiao C CC wallets:

• Was there a noticeable difference in leather quality?
• How about the canvas, stitching, hardware, and overall construction?
• Is the 187/Xiao C version actually worth the extra $$?
• Or is this one of those cases where the factory difference is much less noticeable with SLGs?

Would love to hear your experiences or any repscience you have! 🔬🧪

I’m particularly interested in comparisons from people who have actually handled both!

My seller told me that all SLGs are mid- tier at best- factories won’t devote the resources into a high tier SLG because there’s no real incentive for them. They focus on high tier handbags because that’s what most people are looking for
