I came across these wallets made by London based artist Paddy Hartley on Etsy and I have never seen anything like them! They are a great anytime gift for the man in your life who is hard to buy for, as well as a fantastic holiday find! Each one is constructed by Paddy himself using cotton and bold imagery “…derived from atomic civil defense and public information films, experimental aircraft of the 1940s/70s…” Please visit both his own website and his Etsy shop for more wallet designs!

Paddy will also be in an upcoming exhibit at the Museum of Arts and Design called “Extreme Embroidery” that will run from November 8, 2007 through March 9, 2008. If you are in the NYC area….you won’t want to miss it! You can find more information about his work at Project Facade.

“Trapped” $70

“Atomic War in Space” $70
