The Loyal Workshop was founded by a young Auckland couple, to provide an opportunity for freedom for women trapped in the sex trade.

This bag has been hand made by a women from backgrounds of poverty, each with their own story of trauma and oppression: sold, stolen, trafficked and forced against their will into the sex trade. Without prospect of finding alternative employment, they were trapped. Every product we create is part of a woman’s freedom journey.

On behalf The Loyal Workshop thank you for your support.

The Alongsider Wallet will stand by you in any situation. She’s a super functional, carry-all wallet. There’s plenty of space for cards, notes, coins and your phone too. But with a slim design, that is a joy to hold. An everyday essential that will stand the test of time.

We believe in keeping it real and simple. Minimalists at heart, this is a decluttered design, with only the bare essentials. This thing is legit.

VEGETABLE TANNING ADDS TO THE BEAUTY AND AUTHENTICITY OF OUR PRODUCTS. WE LOVE TO SHOW OFF THE NATURAL CHARACTER OF OUR LEATHER. AS WELL AS BEING ECO-FRIENDLY, EACH AND EVERY WALLET IS UNIQUE AND DISTINCTIVE IN ITS MARKINGS.
WE HOPE YOU WILL LIKE IT AS MUCH AS WE DO.

Material:

LEATHER
Full veg-tanned cow leather produced using a unique eco tanning technique; resilient, sturdy and weathers with grace.

The Leather we have selected has been chosen for its strength and durability but also for its natural full grain look. The veg-tanning process allows the full character of the leather to be exposed, honestly displaying the patina accumulated over a lifetime already lived. In its second lifetime as a Loyal wallet, it will darken slightly and develop more character. This heavy stiff leather has the substance to protect your cargo and maintains its shape.

HARDWARE
Brass nickeled German made dome.

THREAD
Hand stitched 0.8mm gauge woven polyester; super resilient, stretch proof and UV resistant.
