When it comes to classy and geeky fashion accessories, not much can touch the R2-D2 leather wallet. This wallet was created by Etsy merchant Popov Leather and is handmade. It's made using three types of materials: cowhide (exterior,) calfskin (interior) and pigskin (pockets.) On the outside is a hand-tooled image of R2-D2.
There are many Star Wars wallets floating around, but none of them have an air of adult sophistication surrounding them like the R2-D2 leather wallet does. Popove Leather claims that the high-quality materials used to make the wallet give it a lifespan of many years and will give it a vintage look as time goes buy. The R2-D2 leather wallet is sold for $60 and is available now.
