MyWalit.com by Ami Kealoha
When a friend came back from Lucca, Italy recently with a gorgeously-colored leather wallet, we had to find out more. Thanks to unsubtle branding, it was easy enough to do. MyWalit.com is home to an extensive range of wallets in various colorways and styles, all with the impressive craftsmanship that we thought we had to go to Lucca to find.
With models including a medium tri-fold (€50), a zipped clutch (€65), a classic bi-fold (€40), there's something suited for every need. A design like the Matinee (€60) is a great example of the multiple slots and pockets that make the line particularly useful.

While working on ideas to make a belt without a buckle, "an exploration in removing the function from the function," Sruli was inspired by his fingers...
