Makr Wallets: Simple, useful, artful

What is a wallet? Just some piece of fabric and Velcro overfilled with receipts and prophylactics? Sure, if it's 1987 and/or you're in high school.

The thing is, that wad of cash and debt in your pocket can be more, so much more. It can be useful and fashionable, no offense, Velcro.

Where, you may ask, would one acquire such a fine specimen of wallet? We thought you'd never ask. Take a gander at Makr.

Makr: Wallets

(click thumbnails to view gallery)


From the website: "Makr is an appreciation of the simple, the durable and the timelessness of thoughtful design. A vision of the useful as artful-and the opportunity to apply that principle to the everyday. All products blend the tradition of handcraft with the contemporary. Materials are carefully selected and every item is designed, patterned and cut in house. Pieces are produced in small quantities by an even smaller group of people, and all assembly is done by family-owned companies within the U.S."
