Description
This bifold wallet is handmade in Cambodia from recycled cement bags, so the sturdy woven plastic that once carried building supplies now carries your cards and cash. The outer is a cream woven plastic with a fine grid texture. It is printed with bold green lettering and a small red hexagon emblem from the sack's former life, and edged with a stripe of colour along the bottom. Each wallet is cut from a reused bag, so the lettering and the placement of its red or green panels differ from one wallet to the next, which is part of its charm. Opened out flat, it measures 23.5cm long and 10cm wide, and it is 1.5cm deep.
It folds neatly to slip into a jacket pocket, a back pocket or a handbag, and at just 42g it adds next to no weight to whatever you carry. Inside, a card pocket sits in front of a lined section for notes, which keeps everyday essentials together for the commute, the weekend market or a trip into town. It suits anyone who likes their accessories practical and a little different, and it makes a thoughtful choice for someone who cares about reusing materials rather than throwing them away.
The outer is recycled plastic and the inner linings are nylon, with stitched edges that hold the layers firmly together. The wallet is splash proof, so a little rain on the walk home is nothing to worry about. To keep it looking its best, wipe it clean with a damp cloth and let it dry naturally. We think it makes an easy, good-natured gift, wrapped on its own or slipped into a gift bag, and a cheerful reminder that a hard-working material can have a second life in your pocket.
