the story
After receiving her MFA in Painting from Boston University in 2008, Karen Ann Myers felt lucky with love and work when she landed a steady boyfriend and job while still painting intricate patterns on canvas. Hailing originally from the great state of Michigan, she has grown quite fond of her new hometown of warm and sunny Charleston, SC where she is director of Redux Contemporary Art Center. While certainly not getting rich running a non-profit art center, Karen is not broke. Maybe her luck can rub off on you with her Perfect Fit wallet in your pocket.

the story
When we discovered this amazing fabric, we imagined some fully bearded long haired hippie with a cigarette half out his mouth pulling the squeegee on this print. We could relate, so we had to use it! This vintage found design is a hand screen printed fabric by Cohama and the tones seem to be straight from the late 60′s. No date could be confirmed on its exact vintage, but we are certain that it has been in a fabric stockpile since at least 1983.

Bob Snead is unapologetic for living with his in-laws. He’s been unemployed (or rather severely under-employed) for almost three years. In 2007, he graduated from Yale University School of Art with a MFA in painting and spent the next two years traveling the roads of North America with the artist collective Transit Antenna. Equipped with the experience of odd jobs from the road, Bob unsuccessfully applied for steady work in the academic world earlier this year. Rather than letting rejection break him in these uncertain times, he started making wallets. Wallets with attention to design, meticulously crafted, and most importantly have a twenty dollar bill stitched inside. Now, no matter what, he always has money in his recession proof wallet. Bob Snead is not broke. You can be too.

Full size of wallet is 8.5”x3.5” folded 4.25”x3.5” developed from a mix of durable canvas, vinyl, and nylon. Limited Edition of 100.
