the wallet itself could actually be the most obnoxious thing i own. it’s from DB Clay, and i bought it because:
(a) it’s pretty. this isn’t my wallet, but this is the idea…
and (b) i’m trying not to buy leather except for shoes (hypocrite? what?) — according to their web site, the wallet is made from a “synthetic material similar (in texture) to a vinyl canvas” that “does not contain certain hazardous chemicals typically found in most vinyl-based products.”
