Paperwallet features creative design in every way one could think of: They're completely functional with an inventive paper-thin design, eco-friendly with creative use of recycled material and they showcase artists from around the world. The wallets come in limited edition collections that feature talented artists whose work may not be affordable for everyone under normal circumstances -- each one contains an authenticity artist's card.
The artists featured on each piece are not only from around the world, but approach art from all sorts of angles: graphic design, art direction, street art and gallery work. The company itself supports design in one additional way: you can turn in your current wallet for a 15% discount on a new design so it can recycle the old one. The company encourages you to discover and represent new artists.
