Retro Recipe Wallet - Pineapple Souffle

A one-of-a-kind wallet handcrafted from the original pages of a 1960s Golden Circle Tropical Cook Book.

"It's easy to set a glamour stage for a tropical party. Indoor palms… leis… flowers for guests' hair… shells doubling for dishes… reed lace mats — and party dishes with the true flavour of the tropics."

This slimline wallet features two showstopping desserts — an upside-down dessert and a Pineapple Rice Cream Soufflé, beautifully presented in a Royal Worcester Evesham soufflé dish. The height of 1960s sophistication! Lined with a vintage-inspired blue, grey, and orange geometric patterned paper.

What makes it special:

• Original pages from a 1960s Golden Circle Tropical Cook Book
• Features a Pineapple Rice Cream Soufflé in a Royal Worcester Evesham dish
• Includes the iconic tropical party entertaining quote
• Lined with vintage-inspired blue, grey, and orange geometric patterned paper
• Pages covered with clear PVC to protect the paper
• Folded and machine stitched with care - a true limited edition collectable
• Closes with a magnetic clasp
• Approximately 16 cm wide × 8.5 cm high (just a little wider than an Australian note)

Perfect for carrying:

• Cash and cards
• Blister pack medications
• Recipe cuttings or loyalty cards
• Anything you'd like to keep protected in your bag

The perfect gift for: retro entertaining enthusiasts, pineapple lovers, Queensland nostalgia collectors, or anyone who appreciates something truly handmade and eco-conscious. Would even look great displayed on the kitchen bench!

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

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.
