Leather, vinyl, cotton–these are the usual suspects.

The weirdest material most of us think of when it comes to wallets might be duct tape (and yes, we have one of those below!). But these wallets prove that almost anything can be crafted into or repurposed as a wallet.

Unique Wallets – Our Favorites

The wallets below all have that special something that made them jump out to us. Whether it be recycled plastic, a wallet that floats(!), or just a cool design – here are our favorite unique wallets!


Recycled Firefighter, The Fire Hose Sergeant

Slim Minimalist Wallet Money Clip - Sergeant - Thin Wallet Front Pocket Wallet

This unique front pocket wallet is made from real decommissioned fire hose so it is tough!

As if that wasn’t enough, they’ve sewn it together with T-90 nylon thread, which has a 15lb breaking point, and edged it with 1 inch of Mil-Spec nylon binding. And while this wallet is super strong, it’s also super slim, making it an easy front pocket carry.

It holds between 4 and 8 cards (depending on the tightness of the hose from which it’s made) and includes a money clip for trifolded bills. Because fire hoses come in so many different shades, there’s nine color options to choose from, edged in either black or camo print.

SlimFold Minimalist Wallet

SlimFold™ Minimalist RFID Wallet - Thin, Durable, and Waterproof Guaranteed - Made in USA - Original Size Black with Black Stitching

SlimFold wasn’t satisfied with the materials already on the market, and certainly didn’t want to use bulky leather for a slim everyday carry.

So they just developed their own material: Soft Shell. Combining the properties of Kevlar® and GORE-TEX®, this wallet feels a bit like a ski jacket. More scratch resistant and 2-3 times thinner than a traditional leather wallet, the Minimalist holds up to 20 cards in its quad-fold design. It’s also waterproof and machine washable!

Flowfold Vanguard Limited Slim Front Pocket Wallet

Flowfold Vanguard Minimalist Bifold Wallet - Ultralight, Slim Wallet, Front Pocket Wallet & Made in USA Wallet (Black)

Like SlimFold, Flowfold took a lesson from outdoor gear when designing this wallet, which is made from sailcloth.

Water-resistant and durable, sailcloth is exceedingly slim and lightweight. This wallet is roughly the thickness of two credit cards and weighs about as much as three sheets of paper! That’s when it’s empty, of course. But don’t be fooled; this wallet holds a ton: between 10 and 16 cards in its four card slots (two with ID windows) and a nice wad of cash in its bill sleeve.

This wallet from Kinzd is made of cork fabric, sometimes produced in a style known as vegan leather.

Developed from red wine corks, the material is light but durable, and the wallet sports six card slots, one ID window, and a sleeve for trifolded bills. Not a huge fan of cork? Never fear: Kinzd makes this sleek model in standard leather, too.

Mountain Voyage Wooden Wallet With Money Clip

Mountain Voyage Slim Minimalist RFID Blocking Men Wallet - Men Wooden Credit Card Holder with Money Clip - Wallet Mens Slim - Wallets Mens Easily Removable Money & Card - Wallets Men Metal

Just when you thought you’d seen everything in the world of slim wallets, this model from Mountain Voyage (out of Colorado) catches your eye.

Made from a single piece of walnut on each side, this wallet is designed to hold up to 15 cards, held together with strong elastic so it holds the cards firmly in the style made popular by the Ridge wallet.

A feature we really liked about this design (apart from simply looking cool!) was that the rugged cash clip can be removed without having to unscrew it if you don’t feel like using it. The wood is very tough and, while obviously not as durable as a metal wallet, it should be sturdy enough to cope with what life throws at it.
