DB Clay's eco-chic billfolds

Email thisPosted Jun 26th 2008 at 9:30PM by Josh Loposer

For most dudes, a wallet isn't a high priority fashion item. It's something we sit on all day and most of the time there's nothing in there but a receipt and a credit card. Well, next time you bust out your wallet to pay for something -- since you're not going to impress anyone with your amazing bankroll -- why not at least distract them with your awesome taste and sense of environmentally responsibility?

DB Clay's wallets are made from an eco-friendly, 100% vegan material and are decorated with a non-toxic, high resolution printing process. This nearly indestructible material is called Tope -- it has a similar feel to leather or vinyl canvas, only it's completely non-toxic and biodegradable. The designs are what set these babies apart though, we really like Time to Swim. Oh yeah, did we mention that tope is water-resistant? Carrying a wet wallet around sucks.

However, for something that's reasonably cute and helps the planet, I might have to reconsider.
