Willow Earth (cotton canvas wallets and coin purses)
Willow Earth (Sussex) makes nice canvas cotton rucksacks and totes, then uses the offcuts to make these pretty wallets, in many colours.
Most people have a wallet or coin purse. But rather than use leather (made from animal skins, often in countries with poor animal welfare laws) or plastic (made from oil, which contributes to pollution and the climate crisis).
Donate unwanted wallets and purses to small charity shops (that don’t test on animals). For items that are worn out, ripped or stains, place in local textile banks (the materials are shredded to make insulation and other industrial goods).
Some have cork detailing, and one is made entirely from cork.
Willow Earth also makes similar pretty coin purses in the same range of colours.
