7 Reasons to upgrade your wallet. Preferably to one that I make.

7 Reasons to upgrade your wallet

Time for a wallet upgrade? Here’s seven reasons why I think you should look at upgrading your wallet.

Too big

We’ve all seen it. The bloke walking down the street with a huge bulge protruding from one of his butt cheeks. Guys, the ladies consider this a turn off, so stop putting that enormous wallet in your back pocket! Check out this wallet if you’re looking for something skinny.

Too old

It used to feel good and hold it’s shape. It even used to smell good. Now, it’s just a pasty, smelly and deformed thing that holds stuff that you occasionally use. Time to upgrade!

Too ugly

That old bifold wallet design you keep buying every couple of years has had it’s day. You don’t need a big ugly wallet that holds a ton of cash anymore. A sleek minimalist wallet is all you need these days. A few cards and  notes and you’re all set for the arduous journey ahead, at least for the next few hours.

Poor material

I’ll let you in on a secret: That leather wallet you bought last time from the department store is not the real deal. It’s either made from Pleather, a synthetic leather type material, or from genuine leather, made from the weak discarded bottom layers of leather. It’s either full grain or nothing. Full grain let’s the natural aesthetics of the animal who originally wore it, shine through. All my Hand Crafted Wallets are made with Kangaroo Leather

Poor design

Do you really need multiple layers of leather that fold over, and double the thickness of your wallet, for the purpose of holding something in your pocket. You can do better than that. A small and simple wallet is all that is needed by most people these days.

Poor craftsmanship

Check out your wallet. How does it feel? Is the leather falling apart? Poor leather selection. Is the stitching thread thin and weak? Probably not hand stitched.

Environmental Reasons

There are a few different methods of producing leather from the skin of an animal. Your wallet is probably made with Chrome Tanned leather which is made with lots of nasty chemicals. Find yourself a Veg Tanned leather wallet made with the bark from Trees, the natural and sustainable method that’s better for the environment.
