Gaffer's Tape Wallets by Ami Kealoha
Dbclay replaces gooey duct tape with one continuous piece of durable, matte Gaffer's tape. Further upgrades include waterproof nylon lining and exteriors emblazoned with designs like spray-painted stencils, limited edition, hand-painted patterns, and photo imagery. The result is a grown-up version of its predecessor that looks good, adds functional design elements, and retains the novelty and surprise that comes from an inventive use of materials.
The line's available on their website and in select boutiques, ranging in price from $40 for the simplest to $85 artist-designed versions.
