Very cool wallets; they're one-of-a-kind!

Last week Billy showed me his wallet; he desperately needs a new one, so I offered to get him one for his birthday. We both liked that gift idea since it's useful (Billy's utilitarian) and sort a cool gift that he'll keep and use almost every day for years to come.

We started looking online for hand-made wallets with some cool or interesting images. Billy is really into hiking deep in tree-filled nature. Well it didn't take long to find some really cool and unique wallets. The guys at Resist Today make these hand screen-printed wallets with cool artwork of trees and veins layered and kind of abstract. Their stuff is vegan since they print on fabric and use environmentally-friendly inks.

Check out this blue and black wallet that's got some weird sea creature with tentacles on it collaged with tree branches.

Resist Today has a give-a-way going on right now where you can register to win a unique wallet just by joining their Facebook fan page! Go sign-up and you might win a new wallet. Sweet.

Robot wallet; all hail this awesome wallet

black robot wallet (vegan and hand-made) by the artists at Resist TodayHow cool is this robot wallet?
You know how much I love robots. This is like the old tin toys I used to have as a kid. He's looking pretty cool with his arm raised up. Resist Today calls this "Hail to the Robots wallet". It's mostly a black wallet with red printing and text that says "Hail". I like the little details all over, the inside printing is really unique — I don't think I've ever seen that before on any other wallets except these guys.

Their wallets are reasonably priced; especially compared to a place like Urban Outfitters or Ed Hardy. Resist Today wallets have a similar look and feel (street art/grunge inspired/collage art) but they're independent artists, not a giant corporation.

Urban Art Looks Great on a Wallet

We've all gotten used to seeing urban art on t-shirts. Makes a great statement plus looks good too.

There's a couple of guys who like the tee's so much that they've put their urban art onto wallets. Now there's something you don't see very often.

Check out the 'Corporate Welfare' wallet design. That one stays sold out a lot but it's in stock now. All the products by these guys are made in the USA by regular people. No sweat shops or lead involved! (Hand-made and vegan; what a combo.)

I'm hoping they'll put the 'fish tank' design on a wallet soon. I love that one on the messenger bag.

Mens Wallets

Anyone can go to their local department store (or Wal-Mart) and pick up a nice wallet that's functional and does a good job storing their cash. Or more likely, their credit cards. You pull out that ho-hum wallet many times a day and probably never even notice its looks after the original purchase.

Dude - make a statement about who you are. Get yourself a unique wallet. Men don't get to do much accessorizing, so your wallet is one of the best places to start.

How about a one-of-a-kind handmade wallet with original art?

Now that's something that people will notice and remember. Instantly you'll be known as someone who creates their own style. You don't really want to walk in the same path as everyone else. That nice, practical, little brown wallet? Not your 'thing'.

Pulling out a wallet with original art designed by independent artists - well - that's just too much fun. Heck, you might even start to enjoy getting it out of your back pocket so much, you'll find yourself paying for every round of drinks. Oops, you don't want to start enjoying it THAT much...

Wanting to own a wallet like this easy. Being able to actually FIND one could be tricky.

Except, of course, you realize I'm going to point you to a website that has just the wallet for you.

These guys who design and make them pour their hearts and souls into creating fashion that makes a statement about today's world. They are independent artists themselves. You won't find wallets like these anywhere else. They are exclusive and always limited quantities. Many are one of a kind.

They're made in the USA - no child labor - no sweat shops. They're even organic!
