This simple organic hemp wallet folds in half with a heavy-duty velcro closure. It features a zipper hemp pocket for change, and two hemp pockets for bills, credit cards, and ID cards. This vegan wallet is made with 13-ounce organic hemp wallet canvas, and is made by well-paid workers in a no-sweatshop environment. Of course, as this is a 100% organic hemp wallet containing no leather, it is also a cruelty-free vegan wallet. With a width of 4.25 inches, this hemp wallet will fit most back pockets on men's jeans, but may not fit some pockets on women's jeans, so make sure to measure!

Manufacturer:

This sweatshop-free product is designed and manufactured by Ecolution using locally grown organic hemp. Ecolution is based in the democratic country Romania, where it owns its own organic hemp fields and processing facility, which operate under fair trade no-sweatshop guidelines. The employees that made this product are paid more than the Romanian average, are given opportunities for advancement within the company, receive medical and pension coverage, and work in a facility that is safe, well-lit, heated, and free of toxic chemicals. Ecolution does not employ children. In addition to showing utmost concern for its workers, Ecolution products are 100% vegan, containing no products from animal exploitation such as leather or wool.

Ecolution's organic hemp crops are grown in accordance with the European Union's organic certification regulations. Unlike most hemp fabrics, the fabric in this product was processed using a series of fine mechanical combings rather than heavy caustic sodas and acid rinses. Non-chemical processing is environmentally friendly, and preserves the integrity of the hemp fiber, which contributes to a strong and durable fabric. Ecolution has manufactured this product with rigorous attention to quality, so that the environmental impact of production and distribution can be spread over as many years of product life as possible. Hemp fabric is very resistant to degradation from mold, bacteria, salt water, sunlight, abrasion, and chemicals. At the end of this product's life, the organic hemp fabric is 100% biodegradable, unlike synthetic fabrics or tanned leather.

Ecolution uses environmentally friendly fiber-reactive and plant-based dyes. Fiber-reactive dyes contain no heavy metals or known toxic substances, and meet all European Union criteria for being environmentally friendly. Fiber-reactive dye molecules bond permanently with fiber molecules, significantly reducing the amount of dye entering the water system through production and home washing. Plant-based dies, such as Oak, Bilberry, Pansy, and Oregano are sourced locally from Romania, and are fixed using only environmentally friendly mordants such as blue stone, alum, salt, and vinegar. All of Ecolution's buttons are made from natural biodegradable materials such as uninhabited sea shells or tagua nuts that are collected by indigenous peoples from the Amazon rainforest. Even Ecolution's threads are selected only from first world factories that hold Oeko-Tex 100 Standard certificates for environmentally friendly production practices.

My son is very happy with this wallet! February 10, 2008
Reviewer: Merrill Beatty from Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada  
My son is vegan and I always purchase some item or gift certificate for him at celebration times. He is very happy, not only with this wallet, but with the service. I will continue to shop here.

Nice wallet January 27, 2006
Reviewer: Sam from Los Angeles, CA United States  
As a recent convert, this wallet was my first real vegan, eco-concious substitution purchase.  I couldn't wait to get rid of my leather wallet.  

That being said, just having it for what it isn't makes it a product I am glad I purchased.  It did take a little getting used to, as bills must be folded in half, but when I realized that was a ridiculous thing to be concerned about (a couple seconds later), I let it be.  

Actually... this wallet is the ONLY wallet I've ever been given a compliment for.  I realize you've probably never thought about this, but a guy's wallet doesn't receive too many compliments.  I am sure, however, that some guy some where has a well-crafted alligator wallet that, I am sure, cost him over a thousand dollars that, I am sure, has received - at least - one compliment, probably from some guy who has a $5.95 imitation alligator wallet.  

That guy didn't get nearly as nice and genuine a compliment as I did with this simple hemp wallet.  Enjoy.
