Hold that money right

I happen to love wallets. I also happen to love one-of-kind-pieces, so you can imagine my instant delight at these amazing cassette and paper wallets. Not only are the super-cool retro cassette wallets, by Italian designer Marcella Foschi, handmade, but they're also available in a range of colours and colour-combinations, from (amongt others) olive green, to black/yellow, and black/white/blue.

My favourite is this pink/lightblue wallet

This Greg Gossel's multi-layered design paper wallet is another one of my favourites.

These innovative paper wallets by young Argentinian brand, Confitte, are just as incredible. Each wallet, which is tearproof and water-resistant, is mediated by an artist, so each one really is like a little portable piece of art.

In his design of this wallet, French designer Maxime Francout was inspired by his love of hand-drawn fonts and illustrations.

This wallet's design is by independent visual artist Federico Lamas.

If you are a South African reader, you will very be happy to know that you can easily get your hands one of these babies by placing your order with Masego 'Maps' Maponyane by emailing him at spam_map@hotmail.com, or you could tweet him @S_Maps. Yes, there is nowhere else you can get these wallets in the country, and at just R200 for each of the cassette wallets, you've got no excuse not to own one of these!
