Whimsical Wallets

Here at 'Statement Pieces' we're known for our nostalgic yearnings, sure it's embarrassing - but hey, the present kinda sucks...
Thankfully we've found a store that wears their love of all things unaffected and sentimental on their sleeve - in fact they shout it from the roof tops...

The store in question is Melbourne-based boutique "Meet Me At Mikes" which stock a plethora of rue-inducing (in the best possible way) clothing and accessories, as well as children's toys and homewares. Our favourite pieces have to be the "Vintage Storybook Wallets". Made out of the pages of classic children's books, then covered in durable PVC these one of a kind wallets are truly adorable! Each feature a snap closure and deep interior pocket for your cards/notes. They cost $25 and would make a great stocking filler for Christmas - they are also great to use instead of giftwrap, for small pressies like earrings etc.



In keeping with the childlike qualities of the wallets, when you order online you get sent a random selection of designs - this means that you will not know what assorted story book your wallets will have come from. I have included a selection of designs to give you an idea - but really you're in the dark (or, more positively - it's a surprise!)

If you like the wallets, check out Meet Me At Mikes Blog - it's become quite a large hub of activity and a community for Australian lovers of vintage art & craft.
