Personally Speaking:

- Ashley Watson - for the ladies; made from reclaimed leather, with a knot or button closure ($120).
- Dean Accessories - vintage leather jackets-turned-wallets ($40).
- Vy & Elle Vyfold Wallet - recycled-billboard wallet with plenty of pockets for coins, biz cards, and more ($28).
- Jimi - recycled, hard-plastic case (kinda like a money clip) that goes in your front pocket, purse, or on your key chain ($15).
- Keen Marshall - constructed from surprisingly durable recycled rice bags ($10).
