If you love it, I say go for it! Wallets get a lot of use so I think that a $200 wallet can definitely be justified by the price to number of uses ratio.
I thought it was insane at the time, but it's held up spectactularly over several years of using it every day. And I still love it, so I'd probably do it again.
I don't think $200 is bad. I am coveting a KS wallet right now too actually. I think DH bought it for my birthday this week for me which one is it that you're looking at?

The Mikas Pond Lacey - I love everything about it. I may ask H to get it as a Christmas gift. That may make me feel better.
Most I've ever spent was $30. I've only had 2 wallets since I was 18. A Billabong one on super sale for like $10 and then the $30 Relic one I currently have.
I would, however, spend $200 if I was in love with one that much.
My Prada wallet (Saffiano leather) was not worth the price. It looked like crap after a year. My current LV wallet (purple Epi leather zip around) has held up great. Who knows.
I would spend that much. The most I've spent is $110 on a Hobo Lauren clutch/wallet. I've carried it for six years, and it still looks great. I'll buy another one soon, but only because I want another color for summer use.
I think I got my Cole Haan one for about $150ish on sale two or three years ago. I maybe could take it to a leather store and have it shined up, but thus far, looks almost like new. It was my first semi-pricey wallet and it was way worth it.

I still have pipe dreams to buy an LV wallet, so whatever the retail price is on that, is my limit. Right now all I got is a Coach that has been with me for YEARS. I don't think I spent more than $150 for it at the very best.
I say if you like it, and can afford it, just get it.

that's the one I wanted/ think I am getting! in pink. I can't wait!
My husband just bought me a Tory Burch wallet for my birthday. It was $180 during friends and family. I felt slightly guilty but then I rememebred how nice the leather feels and how crappy my existing Coach wallet is and it made all my worried melt away.
I don't think I have spent more than $50-75 on a wallet. My current one was about that at the Kate Spade outlet. For some reason I just can't stomach spending big money on wallets, though I have no issues spending several hundred on a handbag.
