With saturated images of haunting forests and vast fields, these "pocket art" wallets are a tribute to nature both through subject matter and material. The interesting wallets are made by transferring original photographs onto an eco-friendly textile called "tope." Tope is a vegan and animal-free material made from non-toxic raw materials that contains no PVC (but the sleek material feels like Vinyl). It will decompose if buried and is fabricated through a pollutant free process. Tope wallets are extremely durable, waterproof and can withstand extreme temperatures. Available in dark bark (left) or madras (right) styles. Sold individually. Handmade in China.

Comments aboutECO-FRIENDLY WALLETS:
i was excited about this product because i don't use leather wallets and it's hard to find ecologically-sound alternatives (and my old one is wearing out). the wallet is way too stiff to be practical--i've tried it for a week and have to yank out each credit card or ID every time i need it. and there's no coin change space. i'm sorry i spent so much money on something this un-user-friendly. i think i'll be testing the biodegradable promises soon...

Bought this as a gift. I worried about the quality of the wallet and the color looking as it appeared on my screen. I was pleased with both the look and quality of the materials upon arrival.

Comments aboutECO-FRIENDLY WALLETS:
I just started using the wallet, so I can't evaluate on wear, but I like that it's biodegradable and it's a good size, with lots of pockets for credit cards, etc. The design on the outside may take a little getting used to but I don't mind.

Comments aboutECO-FRIENDLY WALLETS:
I love that it's durable, non-leather, and the artwork intrigued me. But up close, I don't care for the artwork. Luckily, if you put enough money in a wallet, it is always an appreciated gift.
