Wallets

The wallets on this page carry band designs, so your favourite music is with you every time you pay. There are classic wallets with card slots as well as larger wallets that close with a zip. Most of the designs belong to metal and rock: Metallica, Iron Maiden, Ghost, Sleep Token, Slipknot, The Beatles or AC/DC. The wallets are mostly black and made from polyurethane (PU) or another faux leather.

Classic wallet or zip purse?

Products named Wallet are classic wallets: they are smaller and you carry them in a trouser or jacket pocket. Typical features are a roomy compartment for notes and receipts, a zipped coin pocket and five card slots. Some models also have a chain for clipping to your belt.

Products named Zip Purse close all the way round with a zip, so neither coins nor cards can fall out, and they fit comfortably into a handbag or rucksack. You can choose from Sleep Token, Ghost, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Pink Floyd, Queen, Korn or AC/DC designs.

Which bands and albums feature on the wallets?

• Thrash and heavy metal: Metallica (Kill 'Em All, Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets), Iron Maiden (Powerslave, The Book of Souls), Slayer (Reign in Blood), Megadeth (Rust in Peace).

How do you look after a faux leather wallet?

Don't put a polyurethane wallet in the washing machine or soak it; simply wipe it with a damp cloth and let it dry naturally. Don't leave it on a radiator or in direct sunlight, as heat damages faux leather and the surface can crack. The print lasts longer if you don't carry the wallet in your back trouser pocket, where it bends and rubs every time you sit down.
