I own a lot of Anuschka. My daughter fell in love with my wallet like this because it holds so much (mine is the Leopard in Paradise). I got it for her as a birthday gift and she loved it. I have never had a problem with the paint coming off. One thing...the description says there are two see-thru I.D./photo slots but there are actually three! I love Anuschka, I love these wallets and I will continue to buy. Everyone carries LV bags & M. Jacobs. These are a lovely departure from my usual bags, I get tons of compliments and not many women carry them! I highly recommend all Anuschka. They are simply gorgeous.
