What is it?
Skoda might not be a brand renowned for luxury, but it’s proved on several occasions now that it can take the fight to premium rivals with more abundant kit lists that enable unrivalled value for money.
With a starting price north of £37k, however, the Kodiaq Sportline 2.0 TDI 4x4 DSG takes efforts to new and unchartered levels for Skoda. This ‘posh’ Skoda not only faces alternatives with more desirable badges on their snouts, it goes grille-to-grille with esteemed SUVs such as the Land Rover Discovery Sport and BMW X3.
As is often (actually, probably always) the case, the Skoda arrives on the battlefield extensively prepared. These Czech models can’t wade in with high asking prices without bringing a long list of standard features into the equation, so skim down the near page-long specs list of the Kodiaq Sportline and you’ll see premium equipment such as a 9.2in touchscreen, 20in wheels and LED headlights all fitted as standard.
Our seven-seat car also comes equipped with extra driver assist features, bringing its total on the road price up to £39,110. Is this a step too far for the Skoda Kodiaq or an example of its growing reach?

Where to buy hermes dogon wallet?
A wallet is one of our most important accessories, I mean; we use it on daily basis. It’s kind-of an one-time purchase, then we want it to stick with us for a long time. Our personal items like credit card, bankcard, ID’s and money are inside; therefore we need one that’s protective and both stylish.
If you already own a designer bag like Chanel, Celine or Givenchy, you will want to choose a wallet that’s classic, so you can switch to different bags anytime you call for. And if there’s any luxury brand that makes classic things, we want to recommend no other than Hermes.
You see, you need to have at least one wallet that’s perfect, the price might be a little steep, but then we need to think long term. Five years from now, you can still sell your Hermes wallet, it holds value, if you don’t abuse it of course.
Presenting the Hermes Dogon Wallet, compact in different colors that we know, you will love. Its made from calfskin (material is durable and strong), closed by a leather flap and silver plated ‘Clou de Selle’ closure inside that reads: ‘Hermes Paris’. The interior is structured; you can find a zipped change purse, two credit card slots and two extra compartments.
The design looks quite easy and our eyes are pointing to the silver plated closure in the center. But easy should not fool us, because its ultimately the craftsmanship behind the wallet that we are hunting for. Measuring 9.5 x 13.8 cm, priced at € 1.320 or £980 GBP at Hermes e-store or boutique.

Wow just over £39k!!! Wonder if that price will go up more when VW start charging Skoda more for the rights of using the MQB platform...
