RECLAIMWorkshop Makes iPhone Wallets from Recycled Baseball Gloves
Megan Facciuolo — May 28, 2014 — Fashion
An Etsy shop called RECLAIMWorkshop makes amazing dual-purpose wallets out of recycled baseball gloves. The gloves, provide a high-quality, unique-looking aesthetic and are a game changer -- literally -- to the wallet and phone case market.
Wallets tend to all look the same, but baseball enthusiasts can show off these wallets proudly -- no matter what their finances appear to be on the interior. These wallets will be a home-run hit when you go for beers with your teammates after a game because they are one of a kind, hand cut, and hand sewn. The company claims "you'll never meet another person who has the same one -- even if they got it from [them]."
The wallets fit your cards, money, change and will snugly fit around all iPhone 4 and iPhone 5 models.
