This is our newest wallet made of the exact same vintage material used to line the trunks of 1965 through 1968 Pontiac GTO's and late 60's (and early 70's) Pontiac Firebirds like these pictured below.
Weirdly, this stuff had just been sitting in an old warehouse gathering dust for years when we found it so we were stoked to put this beautiful limited edition vinyl to brilliant use!
To make these, we personally hand die-cut each piece for these wallets to ensure we get a perfect cut of this 35-plus year old vinyl each time. We then leave them un-lined to keep them slimmer, and then we hand-attach a slim "parallel spring" style snap for a secure but low-profile closure.
Notice the intense detail on these wallets. We stitch this blue wallet on the outside with black, and match it with a black inside panel. For a mild pop, we put in white back pockets, that you only see a little bit of once your credit cards and ID are in the wallet.
Also notice the "low-cut" front inside pockets?. These work great to securely hold your often-used cards like your ID, ATM and credit card for instance. We purposely left out the old clear plastic "I.D. Cover" a lot of wallets have, because we find almost everyone that needs to see your ID- cops, doormen, bartenders, security back stage, etc forces you to take your ID out anyway so what is the point?
These highly limited edition upcycled wallets are hand-sewn by us here at Couch.

Rock!
