Having lost my wallet and everything in it, I am on the hunt for a new one and decided it should be eco-friendly without question. I am actually amazed at how many eco-friendly wallets there are out there. Many more than I had expected.

Of course there are hippie-friendly hemp wallets, if you are into that sort of thing. Not in my bag, at least not in beige. Vy and Elle (play on words for vinyl, get it?) make wallets from recycled billboards. Apparently billboards are made of PVC vinyl and usually get dumped into landfills. Feh! According to their documentation so far, Vy and Elle have recycled over 100 tons of billboards into wallets and bags, which are durable and waterproof. I say that’s eco-fabulous.

I also just found out about (color me eco-stupid) a new material called Tope, which at first read I thought was a color, a different spelling for taupe, but it is in fact a new, animal-free material made from raw substances that are nontoxic; water, heat and cold resistant; chlorine free; non-plastic; and very durable.

Dbclay of Portland uses this tope material on their cool eco-friendly wallet, whose designs cool photos and prints of bugs, razors, underwater life, lace, and more. Their prints are made with nontoxic ink too. They work with a bunch of different designers on their wallets and they also have a kit for you to DIY out of duct tape. It's wittily called myDuctbills, in black, pink, silver, or camouflage.

Sleek and chic and perhaps my favorite, the eco-friendly wallet I want (pictured) is by Matt & Nat, of Montréal. Leave it to the Canadians to do it right. Vegan-leather wallets and bags, me likey very much. They are straightforward and sassy designs and the company did a drive for the Sun Youth organization in Canada where they hook you up with a gift if you recycle a cell phone with them. They also have a bag recycling program; if you want to give a “gently used" Matt & Nat bag back, they will donate it to the fabulous Dress for Success or Residence Project Chance. DFS’s mission is to promote the economic independence of disadvantaged women by providing professional attire, a network of support, and career development tools to help women thrive in work and in life. Residence Project Chance helps get young mothers a place to live while they attend university. How awesome is that? There are fun names for the M&N pieces, like Andre 3000 and Atari, Chi. They have "mod" and "metal" collections. It just makes me smile.

If I had a credit card I would order one now. But I will have to wait till I get my replacement cards in the mail. You with the other kind of green in your wallets can order now.
