It's common sense in Japan that the wallet which you got at the beginning of the year brings you good fortune. Lots of famous brand shops like Louis Vuitton, Gucci or Ferragamo display their products during this season.
My card case in which I put my name cards, credit cards, driver's license and membership cards is beginning to wear out. It fits comfortably in my hand and I'd like to use it from now too, but it looks bad and my wife told me that I should change my card case. So, I went out shopping to the biggest department store in my city.
I don't like to shop around for the best deal because it takes a lot of time. It was not the case today, though. It was not easy to find a replacement for my card case. I had to visit five shops to find it. The picture shows the old and new card case.
