dbclay started out by making duct tape wallets, selling them at a street booth in Portland, Oregon, and they have morphed into a whole line of seriously cool-looking wallets with version 3. All the wallets are made from Tope, a material that’s similar to vinyl, but without all the horrible polluting side-effects:
Tope is a synthetic fabric similar (in texture) to a vinyl canvas. However, Tope does not contain certain hazardous chemicals typically found in most vinyl-based products. In particular, Tope contains NO PVC, Tope is non-toxic, Tope is chlorine chemicals free and Tope is fabricated through a pollutant free process. Additionally, we have engineered a tremendously technical printing process whereby we print high resolution and full photographic images using environmentally friendly inks. To top it off, Tope is also vegan and animal free.
I just think they’re absolutely gorgeous!

oooooh.. the designer in me wants one of these!
September 5th, 2007 at 12:09 pmI just saw these at the Las Vegas trade show and they ARE awesome. We ordered a gaggle of em’ for the store and I can’t wait to get them in. Just in time for the Holidays as I think they are a genius gift for just about anyone who uses money! Oh, and the guy (sorry, forgot your name) who created/designs these, was really nice and informative.
