New Item: Bi-fold Wallet!

I'm stoked to introduce this smaller companion to the popular Tri-fold wallet! Its compact profile is
more conducive to a compact and active lifestyle.

Black Ship Crafts: BI-Fold No Sew Wallet on Etsy.com

Some critiques of the tri-fold led me to make a more compact wallet that was more 'packable,' easy to tuck in your jersey or frame bag for short trips or commutes. It is also a rivet-only wallet, meaning no hand sewn seams.

Last year I made a prototype, and after using it for over 6 months, I decided that it is ready to launch.

Water resistant, made with the best quality upcycled bike inner tubes.
