Recycled Street Map Wallet - Melbourne City Streets Swanston, Bourke, Paris End Collins, Carlton Gardens

Know every laneway by heart? Now carry the city with you. This one-of-a-kind wallet is handcrafted from the original pages of a Melbourne street directory from the 2000s — a pre-GPS navigational staple that guided locals and visitors through the city grid. Each page has been carefully covered in clear PVC and stitched together to preserve the paper, creating a wallet that's as durable as it is distinctive.

What's on this wallet?
This edition features the iconic Melbourne City Centre grid — bounded by Elizabeth, Flinders, Spring and La Trobe Streets. You'll spot Flinders Street Station, the City Circle tram route, Swanston Street, Bourke Street Mall, Chinatown, the State Library of Victoria, RMIT, and a corner of the beautiful Carlton Gardens. The interior is lined with an index page from the same directory (note: advertisements and index pages may vary from those shown, depending on the edition available).

Perfect for:

• Travel documents, cards, and cash
• Smartphones, glasses, or face masks
• A truly unique gift for Melbourne lovers, map enthusiasts, or anyone who appreciates handmade Australian design

Details:

• Size: approximately 20 cm wide × 10 cm high (folded)
• Closes with a magnetic snap
• One-of-a-kind — no two wallets are identical
• A true limited edition collectable
• Designed and sewn in Queensland, Australia

Like all well-loved maps, the paper will develop gentle creases with use — each one a mark of the journey.

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.
