EPICSTOKE - A Wallet Worth a Thousand Words

 Epicstoke wallets are made from recycled billboard vinyl- making each wallet unique, extremely durable, thin, and downright awesome.

the Brief Story

Hey Kickstarters! So the story goes... we were in search of the perfect way to make the perfect wallet. Basically a wallet that was:
  • versatile yet fits your precise needs
  • enjoyable to use, thin, durable, & protects valuables from the elements
  • can be broken in like leather but won't get wet like it
  • one of a kind, has great design, and tells a story
  • Oh, and is locally made from high quality recycled or sustainable resources
Impossible? Almost, but not quite.
We realized that there was one main ingredient aside from great design necessary to fulfill all those requirements: a perfect material- billboard vinyl. It has everything we ever hoped and wished for. And aside from being a designer's dream, by purchasing a wallet you are saving something that doesn't like to break down from going into landfills or being burned into the air.

It's really a win / win / win situation.
After scouring the earth for ideas we came up with four designs based on today's demands. We're acknowledgers of the fact that one size seldom fits all and different life styles and situations create different wallet needs. 

We just want to sincerely thank all of you in advance for taking the time to read this and for those of you who decide to support this in any way, you rock.

Please help share this story with your friends on facebook, twitter, email or your preferred sharing mechanism, whatever it may be- we really appreciate it!

 Gaspard Tiné-Berès & Ruben Valensi are proud to announce the launch of the crowd-funding campaign for their Lasso slippers. Now open on Kickstarter. Lasso is your very own must-have pair of slippers, made from a single piece of wool-felt, a leather sole and a cotton lace. All materials are 100 % natural. Made in Paris, by a social enterprise providing work opportunities for people with special needs.

Simple to make, the pair of slippers comes flat-pack, with laces available in five different colours. The slipper shape is created by lacing the edges of the felt together through pre-cut holes.
