Old School Tech Wallets

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Retro Pocket Wear Likes Like An Old Cassette Tape

— January 21, 2009 — Art & Design
If you never really got over the technical revolution and are still clinging on to those old-school tapes in some hidden drawer in your house, why not make them into a retro wallet for your cash? That way you can carry it with you in your back pocket every day.

That is just what Italian product designer, Marcella Foshi did. She loves DIY so much she makes these rather brilliant and quirky cassette wallets by hand. Each design is a one-off which can be bought them via designboom.

If they create one with the Michael Jackson ‘BAD’ album, I would love to get my hands on it.
