This wallet was for my husband who complains that his other wallets were to hard to sit on. He was happy with my purchase. I didn't like that there weren't many pockets, but it's not my wallet!! great purchase.

Comments aboutRECYCLED NECKTIE & SUIT WALLET:
my husband wanted the red wallet, but it when it arrived, it was different than the picture. he likes it because it is light weight.... not big and bulky like his other wallet. it doesn't hold a lot of stuff.... not good to carry around pictures and other miscellaneous stuff.... just the basics-cash and a credit card or two.

Comments aboutRECYCLED NECKTIE & SUIT WALLET:
I purchased this wallet for my brother, he's a very trendy guy! As soon as I saw it I knew he would love it! The outside pattern is great but the material is not very sturdy... I realize its made out of old ties but it would seem they could have used another material to make this wallet slightly more sturdy. That said, I think it will be best used as a wallet for "going out" rather than an everyday wallet, I just don't think it will be able to stand up to the wear of everyday use.

Comments aboutRECYCLED NECKTIE & SUIT WALLET:
I was worried because you can't pick the design, only the color, but I really liked the tie design I received. The inside lining fabric is a little thin and flimsy. I bought this for my accountant fiance. Its not a everyday wallet, but good when you want something nice and less bulky for your pocket. I am pleased with the purchase, and he liked it!
Service & Delivery comments:
As always, delivery was quick. Packaging was a little excessive. Could have been mailed in a padded envelope rather than the over-sized box with paper wrapping inside.

Comments aboutRECYCLED NECKTIE & SUIT WALLET:
I found this wallet online a few weeks ago and I totally love it. Its rare to find something that is so beautiful while being 100% recycled. This wallet is perfect for all occasions. it is colorful and stylish, yet elegant and smart. I love that each one is totally unique. My only concern is that it may not prove to be durable enough for heavy use. I try to keep only a few cards in it, and just a few bills. I will note that there are only 2 pockets for cards, and that the cards kinda fall out of these pockets easily. Do not buy this for the person who needs to keep his entire life in his wallet. Again, I love this wallet. Just dont try to overstuff it.

I bought this for my husband for our anniversary, and he loved it! He's the kind of guy that's very picky about what he wears and the accessories he uses, and he was very excited when I gave it to him.

Comments aboutRECYCLED NECKTIE & SUIT WALLET:
There are certain items in a man's wardrobe that help define his character and personality. Typically those include shoes, watches, sometimes ties and money clips; the wallet is often overlooked. As a product designer, I'm fairly critical of products as a whole, noticing how they could have been made better. This wallet is an uncommonly awesome way to add some character to the mundane task of buying something. It's finely crafted, the tie and suit materials are high quality, and I'm quite happy with the purchase.

Cool wallet, it doesnt have many sleeves on the inside so dont expect to store 10 credit cards or biz cards. But for an ID, some cash its a great summer wallet.
