From supercycled Balian accessories to manifesto-driven fashion, this SocialBusiness.org top list of ethical wallets counters the idea that billfolds, change purses and pocket books are all about the dough. Whether it's a vegan material or a socially aware manufacturing chain that is the most important for the brand, this is more than fashion.
One of the standouts of ethical wallets -- when it comes to both look and business idea -- is certainly Bombastic Plastix, a social business based in Bali, Indonesia that values braveness over all else. That includes fighting the system through a radical recycling program, as well as the bright and vibrant designs that will undoubtedly have others doing a double take. Some of these social businesses only offer ethical wallets and some offer a wide array of accessories like technology cases and footwear.
