Find me a cloth magic wallet!

February 20, 2006 6:30 PM

Where can I find a magic wallet (popular at j crew) that is cloth instead of leather?

A few years ago at Urban Outfitters I bought one of those magic wallets that "magically" holds in your money and such. The outside was made of cloth as seen here. Since then I have not been able to find a similar wallet. Please help! I asked at Urban, but they no longer carry this.

I haven't seen the cloth ones lately, but I imagine if you're crafty it wouldn't be tough to make one yourself.

I have one so if you decide to be crafty, I can tell you how to set up the rubber bands.

J Crew has silk ones, but the insides are leather. Are you looking for no leather at all, or is leather inside ok?

Would you be adverse to making one?

Here are instructions on making the toy that is similar.

A pattern for sewing a cloth one.

And another.

I would use elastic insteead of ribbons, and you can always add extra pockets like the picture you linked to.

I believe it depends on the local store. I have two magic wallets, one I got 2 years ago, and the other 2 months ago from New Haven Urban Outfitters and last time I checked (last month) they had new wallets. You should check other Urban Outfitters stores or ask them whether they are planning to bring some more. [I hope I'm not too late for the reply :)]
