Of course the other alternative is buy one of these from Tanja Burgdorfer.

 

 

Each of these wallets has been made by hand and can be made to order if required. The idea behind this product is to introduce people to the idea that using waste and sustainable materials can be cool too.

 

Priced at $21

The hard part about going eco-friendly for most consumers is that you cannot expect them to look for these eco-friendly stuff like cosmetics, clothes and other eco-friendly products at separate stores. In fact, eco-friendly is still on the upswing and chances are you have to find out which stores do carry these eco-friendly goods to date.

Rare as these stores may be, there are stores like Eco Zen Boutique that offer you all your eco-fashion needs in one roof. You don’t have to worry about not being able to find the right eco-friendly clothing for you. You are going to find them all in one swift visit to this green-dedicated store.

Eco Zen Boutique, a socially conscious, Arizona based green fashion boutique owned and operated by eco-preneur Tandy Stepp, has recently opened a new online store at ecozenboutique.com.

When it comes to preserving and going eco-friendly, it can go as far as the item that carries our green money around. People have preference for genuine leather as far as what wallet to buy and use but apparently being creative and using plain recycled paper can produce great ideas.

So rather than spend on those expensive wallets, why not try a paper wallet instead? You can actually make your own without the trouble of additional expenses and saving more while you are at it.

The way that we carry our cash around is now going to take on a different a look and feel as we find that even here we can see that the use of non toxic materials that will completely decompose should it end up in the landfill for some reason.

The simple fact is these wallets from DB Clay have the appearance of leather or suede and have the feel of this type of materials which make it easier to use in a normal life. It saves having all of those comments thrown at you every now and then, not that there is anything wrong with being green. But the point is the more people that buy this sort of stuff the better off we will all be.

This cute wallet is made out of vintage 70’s era fabric.

The wallet is an Etsy product, which means it is a hand made item. As some of you know i love Etsy and showcase their handmade products regularly here at Keetsa.

from site: “works perfectly for business cards, a whole deck of playing cards, or other stuff, like gum, smokes, what-have-you…”

The seller is named Katesy and she has a bevy of funky and hip products all made with recycled materials. Check out Katesy and her recycled wallet at Etsy.
