We wanted a slim wallet designed with a smart, minimalist aesthetic, produced with respect for our planet. A product that improves the lives and communities of those making it... we couldn't find it anywhere, so we went out and made it for ourselves, and now we're sharing it with you. Holstee's Recycled Wallet will be available July 2010. We have collaborated with a non-profit based in Delhi to create this vegan wallet made from collected plastic bags and newspapers. It stores the essentials- cash, credit cards and it, has a sliding window for your ID and Metro card and still so thin it will easily fit into your pocket.  It is essentially a collection of the best parts of both Michael and David's favorite past wallets. Production of this wallet helps bring new opportunities, healthcare and education to impoverished underclass of Delhi, India. To help fund our production, we are accepting pre-orders. During the pre-order period, the wallet will be available for $20 [$25 after].

We are big believers in paying it forward.  So much so that this philosophy is built into the core of our business model- 10% of whatever you purchase at Holstee is used to empower entrepreneurs in the developing world through micro-lending. February has already proved to be really really exciting for us, so we'd like to pay this good fortune forward. We'd like to give away 3 x $20 gift certificates to our shop. The code below will work for the first 3 people who checkout. Enjoy! Code =  payitfwdfeb Just remember to continue paying it forward :-)
