This unique envelope shaped wallet made from old newspapers combines great product design with years of weaving experience. If you are wondering how a newspaper product can be so strong, it's not made from one large piece of paper. Instead, It is made by weaving very thin strips of newspaper on the loom (almost like yarn) with a strong cotton thread. The newspaper strips are soaked in a plant based glue before weaving them to further strengthen them. Besides, the cotton lining inside the bag is a double lining and enforced with expert stitching. Use it as a casual wallet to put your money or cards. Could be great for tweens and teens to take some money for their casual trips with friends. This reusable envelope can also elevate your gift while giving someone a gift card or a handwritten note.
