Trends in Wallets
This year wallets are unique so you have many different ways to carry your money now.
The weirdest one is the gun holster wallet. This helps you look a little tougher. It is made of leather and costs about $450.00. Basically this is a leather wallet that hooks over your arm like a real holster and is shaped like a gun. Problem is that it really does look like you are packing heat when you wear this accessory. You actually could get hassled at an airport for wearing it!
Yet another innovation in wallets is the waterproof wallet. This is called the Dosh and was designed by Henri Spalle and Mark Armstrong. The wallet is a unique blend of flexible and semi-flexible polymers that make it flexible, durable and water proof. You can fill it with bills and hold it under a flowing tap of water. It won’t get wet. It is also a roomy wallet that has room for keys, condoms, coins, nots and credit cards. It is a moulded item made from environmentally correct recycled plastic and it comes in a vivid range of contemporary colors.
One of the coolest fashion offerings this year is the Duct Tape Wallet. This is a wallet made entirely out of duct tape and they are made by a company called FractalSpin. However you could also make them yourself at home and there are plenty of directions as to how to make your own version of the duct tape wallet as a craft online.
A recycled type of eco wallet is the cassette wallet. These are tiny zipper bound wallets made out of cassette player plastic. They are a work of art in their own right because the title and appearance of each cassette tape is different.
Of you have ever wanted a wallet that lights up in the dark it has been invented too. The Light Up LED Wallet by Walluminate is one that you can make yourself . All you need to do is insert the LEDs into the stitching of a leather wallet. You can find instructions for how to easily do this for yourself on the Walluminate website online. This means there is no more overtipping of bartenders in dark night clubs or fumbling around for the right bill in the dark in the back of a cab.
Funny yet fashionable are the wallets that are made to look like fake food. You can get vinyl wallets that are designed to look like toast with a pat of melting butter on it or like a shard of uncooked bacon. These types of wallets are a worthy gag gift for $9.95.
