My old wallet was hanging on by a thread (literally) and was starting to be the source of embarrassment whenever I had to pay for something.  As one who is constantly on the lookout for beautiful and original pieces, I was so delighted to discover Hlaska.  Based out of San Francisco, Hlaska locally designs an makes fine leather bags and accessories for both ladies and gents.  Apparently their flagship store is on Fillmore and next time I’m in SF I am sooo paying them a visit!
In recent years, I’ve also learned that it’s better to invest in a great, quality piece that you can be proud of!  We use our wallets every day, so I’d have to logically conclude that a new Kaleidoscope Zippered Check Wallet was perfectly justified!  I adore its delicate 3D pattern and it’s made with the softest leather.  The zipper closure was a must, as I tend to have receipts spilling out everywhere.  I love the bright yellow colour and the fact that it can accommodate my many cards.  Already received so many compliments on it, which is when I love to brag that it’s an original piece form San Fran.  Based on that alone, I couldn’t be happier with my Hlaska wallet.
Now I have my eye on the retro looking sunnies.  Thinking I NEED them for the summer, don’t you?

P.S. I was not in any way paid to write this.  Opinions are genuine and my own.  Just wanted you to know 🙂

    That is so funny — my wallet is the exact same! I always try to take my money out while my wallet is still in my bag because I'm too embarrassed to take it out. I'm sure it looks like I'm trying to hide a wad of money, but nope — just my hideous wallet!
    Thanks for the good tips! I love the bright colours 🙂
