Tyvek Wallets
You're not still keeping your cash in a leather wallet, are you? How incredibly dull! That's the 21st century equivalent of dressing your Benjamins in flares and putting gold medallions on your credit cards. And you wouldn't want that, would you?

No, what you want is a Tyvek Wallet. And we should know, because as self-appointed arbiters of cool we know a thing or two about how best to hold ones folding - and that thing you've got stuffed down the back of your pants most definitely ain't it.

As you can see, these cool and quirky wallets resemble bits of folded paper. But not just any old paper; there's a newspaper, a computer printout and an airmail envelope. Clever, eh!

Available in three versions

Newsprint

Dot Matrix

Airmail

Opened Dot Matrix Wallet

Plenty of space for your cards!

Needless to say, pulling a Tyvek out of your pocket will immediately mark you out as an international man/woman of mystery: the airmail version is a snail mail classic but it also looks quite glam in a retro kind of way; the computer printout features that classic dot matrix font favoured by Vietnam spies and genius mathematicians; finally the newspaper is covered in French, German and Italian text - great for fooling onlookers into thinking you're some sort of cunning linguist.

But Tyvek wallets aren't just about highly original looks. Tyvek® is actually the brand name of a unique material that's like a cross between paper, film and fabric. Lightweight yet amazingly strong, this miraculous stuff is breathable (so your beloved banknotes won't get all hot and bothered), yet it is water / chemical / tear / abrasion resistant. This means, unlike paper, a Tyvek Wallet won't start falling to bits after a bit of rough and tumble.

Bii-fold for bills and credit cards, Tyvek Wallets are ideal for storing scannable ID cards since the material is so thin you won't need to remove them. Best of all, these supremely innovative wallets are unlike anything else on the market. And that's what matters because Confucius* say: "Empty wallet that looks good is better than full one that looks stupid." (*Bert Confucius, restroom attendant, Firebox Ltd).

visitor avatar These wallets are a great idea. The only issue I had when I bought the newspaper version was that when my partner was emptying my pockets to do the washing, he threw away my wallet, thinking it was an old newspaper. Hehe. Thankfully the wallet had no money in it. Phew.

visitor avatar First time user of Firebox and I ordered the newspaper version on the Friday. It arrived on the Tuesday in a well packed brown envelope with a little bag of sweets thrown in for good measure. Nice little wallet that's much tougher than it looks. It's true that it has little room for coins but that'd probably ruin the effect anyway. Great service.

visitor avatar Bought the Newspaper version. It looks amazing, and I'm intrigued to find out what the text says. Not much space for coins, but apart from that the wallet seems to be worth every penny. Also, the free sweets were much appreciated! Thanks Firebox!

visitor avatar What a cool wallet! I got it as a gift, but decided to keep it. Everyone at school thinks it's very cool and wanted to know where they got it from, and I was happy to reconmend Firebox, after such great service! Free sweets appreciated too!

visitor avatar These wallets look great, however don't be expecting anything thick, this wallet is a compact lightweight wallet. the only criticisms I have are that there is no room for coinage apart from the front flap which is quite flimsy and probably could rip with overuse also there is only 3 card slots so I only feel comfortable putting about 5-6 cards in it as the wallet appears fragile. Although I would suggest that people buy this product as it is very cool and a very good discreet wallet i have the newspaper version and it is lovely ! :D 3.5/5

visitor avatar I bought the "airmail" version - looks and feels like an old envelope. Plenty of spaces and slots for everything, but the only problem I have is that it doesn't close very well - this might just sort itself with use. Overall, an unusual wallet.
