Black Crow Wallets

Ah, Gypsies. Is there anyone else whose rides can fill you
with such unabashed glee and wonderment whilst they
simultaneously steal the bejesus out of your father's
wallet? Give 'em a break, they were probably just trying to
doll it up with records, like Black Crow.

Black Crow's a Long Beach-based company that hand-makes
wallets out of classic vinyl records, started by a self
described "traveling gypsy," who started wandering when she
was 18 in Pennsylvania and in the years since has found
herself in Yosemite, Seattle, and Lake Tahoe, where a man
gave her a job in exchange for her painting of Robert
Johnson -- proving once and for all that the devil does work
in mysterious ways. Bi-fold "Modern" wallets are literally
made out of actual, original records, which are cut to size,
then poly-coated, shape-sanded, and fused to a high-quality
black vinyl wallet, with one side displaying the record's
inner hole and, the other side, part of the album cover --
unless they're doing Live Through This, then they display
the outer Hole, too. Options include a slew of
unquestionable classics, including Dark Side of the Moon,
Thriller, Nevermind, and Led Zeppelin III, as well as two
out-there audio recordings of 70s-era comics: Spider Man's
The Mad Hatter of Manhattan and Superman's Weatherspoon's
Catalyst, which started out being Charles Barkley, before
later becoming any donut Clarence could get his hands on.

Black Crow also makes similarly-themed checkbook-style
"Classic" wallets, as well as belt buckles made from actual
guitar necks, which you'll think is filling your date with
glee and wonderment before you realize she was just acting
that way to steal the bejesus out of your Superman wallet.

They're all at:
