How do I stop the breakdown of my wallet
I suggest only using it when going out somewhere fancy or traveling. Don't sit on it if you keep it in your back pocket. Take the wallet to a good shoe repair shop (cordonerie?), most know how to take care of leather goods and purses. They'll be able to tell you what to do about the cracks.

Most dry leather goods respond well to a liberal coating of mink oil, which you can get in the shoe care aisle of any department store. Once it soaks in, it won't be greasy.
The wallet, while nice, may not be designed for everyday back pocket use. The leather might not hold up to that, but it might hold up very well to breast pocket use in a suit coat. I don't want to suggest that you not carry it, but if you do it may wear out faster than you would like. Just as a point of comparison, I have an ordinary leather wallet from Target, the target brand, no less, that I've had for at least eight years. There isn't a seam or corner that even looks like it might be thinking about splitting, and the leather itself looks wornin but not worn.

+1 OmieWise's answer. I've had the same $15 Dockers leather wallet for about 7 years now and it's still in great shape despite living in my back pocket. Sometimes these luxury goods aren't all they're cracked (ha!) up to be.

Don't sit on it and it will last longer. This sort of reduces the value of a wallet for a blue jean and tshirt guy though. Being sat upon in tight pants like jeans is probably even worse. Mink oil is great, but it will probably change the color.

I'm a tshirt and jeans guy, and I have never sat on my wallet. I keep it in my front pocket. I've never understood why people put wallets in back pockets, where (a) the contents get crushed and battered when sat upon (b) they're harder for the owner to reach (c) they're easier for pickpockets to get a good shot at (d) they're lumpy and uncomfortable while seated.
So my advice is switch it to your front pocket. Mink oil or snowseal (beeswax and eucalyptus oil mix) or dubbin (colorless boot polish) treatment won't hurt either. But I think if it's cracked now, it's on the slippery slope to destruction. Maybe try not to overstuff it, too.

a luxury brand wallet should not be cracking a year out of the gate. I bought my husband a coach wallet about 4 or 5 years ago, and it's practically brand new with no cracking or issues at alland that's a lower end lux brand and someone who is a freaking nightmare on his leather goods.
Can you take it to a LV store or contact them about it? I don't think cracking should be expected, no matter the climate you use it in, and they may be able to replace a faulty piece of merchandise if that's the case,[url=http://www.sport.fr/economie/airmax.html]air max femmes[/url], or at the very least can reccomend maintence methods specific to their leathers.
