Vintage Garden Book Wallet - Illustrated Succulents

The Vintage Garden Book Wallet - Illustrated Succulents is a handcrafted slimline accessory made from original pages of a 1981 printing of 'Introduction to Basic Gardening' by Sunset Books, originally published in 1963.

The design features detailed illustrations and descriptions of succulents such as aloe, yucca, and agave, offering a vintage botanical aesthetic. 

The wallet measures approximately 19 cm wide by 9.5 cm high and closes securely with a magnetic clasp, making it suitable for carrying cash, credit cards, identification, or small personal items.

It has been lined with vintage floral and striped wallpaper in shades of green, blue, and taupe, and the pages are protected with clear PVC to ensure durability. The wallet's construction involves folding, stitching, and covering the pages to create a limited-edition collectible item.

Its slim profile is ideal for everyday use or as a unique gift for gardening enthusiasts, vintage collectors, or those who appreciate retro design. The paper may develop creases over time, adding to its character and storytelling.

Designed and sewn in Queensland, Australia, this Vintage Garden Book Wallet combines functionality with vintage botanical charm, making it a distinctive accessory for everyday or special occasions.

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.
