$3500 AUD
Tax included, shipping calculated at checkout.


Description

A one-of-a-kind wallet handcrafted from the pages of a 1981 vintage gardening book.

This slimline wallet is made from carefully selected original pages of Introduction to Basic Gardening by Sunset Books (first printed 1963). The chosen page features beautiful botanical illustrations and descriptions of perennial flowers — Daisies, Geranium, and Delphinium.

What makes it special:

  • Lined with vintage floral and striped wallpaper in greens, blue, and taupe
  • Pages covered with clear PVC to protect the paper
  • Folded and stitched by hand — a true limited edition collectable
  • Closes with a magnetic clasp
  • Approximately 18.5 cm wide × 9 cm high

Perfect for carrying:

  • Cash and cards
  • Blister pack medications
  • Plant care tags or florist bouquet cards
  • Anything you'd like to keep protected in your bag

The perfect gift for: garden lovers, retro collectors, florists, horticulture students, or anyone who appreciates something truly handmade and eco-conscious.

With wear, the paper may crease a little — adding beautifully to its life story.

Designed and sewn in Queensland, Australia.

Creative Process

No two designs are the same!

I love to collect vintage and retro books, magazines and other special documents such as sheet music and street directories to create a unique collection of wallets.

When designing a wallet, I select and cut out the pages (one for the outside and one for the lining) and cover them with clear PVC to have a waterproof protection.

From there I carefully stitch together the pages and fold them over to create your wallet, adding a Lyssy May label in the process to ensure its handmade story is shared.

I love these wallets as a unique and creative gift. It's recycling while still keeping the nostalgia going of the the old refidex. Alyssa was happy to do a custom order and turn around was quick. I like supporting handmade and people's creativity.
