Roland Barthes wallet

[HeartOn]

I made this wallet with a wrist strap and embroidery of Roland Barthes on it a couple of months ago, but I have since added a tassel to the zipper.



Close up of the embroidery:



Fabric I used on the inside and a shot of it full of stuff. I also made some card slots so that it was more compartmentalized than a regular change purse:

This rocks....I just love it...don't know Roland, but I want to know now after seeing this! Sweet work there!

Thanks! I am thinking of starting a cultural theory line of wallets in the fall when I have more time, so it's great to get some positive feedback!

Cool...I'm so curious...just had to check out Roland's bio....very interesting subject for a line of wallets! And you really captured his look sublimely!

...wow!!  You have MAD embroidering skills.  And of course I love the little compartments, good idea to add those!  I like pouch type wallets, but everything can get jumbled...with this, you have some organization in there.  Love it!

Hey thanks! This was only my fourth embroidery project or so, but I did it after recently visiting my mom and grandma who gave me some good tutorials and books to help me out.
