Compact, Recycled Wallet

Do you hate carrying around a wallet? If so, check out this little guy. A water-resistant, colorful and extremely compact wallet made from 100% recycled material.
Jimi Wallet
For the extreme minimalist, this wallet (named the Jimi Wallet) is a perfect alternative to a bulky and often ratty wallet that’s bulging with wadded bills, receipts and cards you never use.
Jimi Wallet Open
On one side, it holds up to four cards, and on the other side it holds bills and another card (i.e. driver’s license, student ID or credit card) in the detachable money clip.

This little beaut, comes in six colors including: ruby (red), aqua, clear, safety orange, smoke (gray) and stealth (black). “Safety orange?” An awesome name for an awesome color.

This little guy is so thin (a little more than half an inch), it fits in your front pocket. There’s also a loop that’s attachable to a lanyard or key ring.

What’s best? This product is also completely recyclable. This way, you’re closing the loop by buying a recycled product and in turn, recycling it when you’re done using it. Also, when you buy one of these wallets

“…the manufacturer of the Jimi™ wallet invests 1% of this product’s sales revenue into environmental causes.”

Heck, order one in every color. You’d help do the environment some good, and you’d always have a wallet to go with whatever outfit you’re wearing…right, guys?

The Jimi Wallet is available from branchhome.com for $15.00.
