The intricate design on this pretty leather wallet was hand-tooled in Indonesia. With plenty of pockets and credit card slots, it's ideal for helping her manage her money, and it will also help female artists in developing countries earn theirs. The proceeds from this wallet and all other items sold on Nest go directly to micro-loans that help female artists and designers pursue their passions and provide for their families.
