Handcrafted in Norfolk, Virginia
At 6 layers of leather thick, the Bloomfield 4-Pocket Wallet is the thickest of our minimalist wallets. Although many carry it in their front pocket, skinny-jean-wearers are going to need to carry the Bloomfield in a backpack or messenger bag. There are 2 pockets on the inside and 2 pockets on the outside. The external pockets are great for the cards you use most often, such as a Metrocard and driver's license.
At the end of 2010, I quit my job, moved to Bloomfield (the “Little Italy” borough of Pittsburgh), and started building Waskerd. Bloomfield is a working-class neighborhood filled with understated row homes and local restaurants. What it lacks in flair, it makes up for with character. Bloomfield embodies the simplistic Waskerd philosophy, and it inspired the design of this hardworking wallet. This was the first wallet I sold to someone who wasn’t a family member or friend. Anyone who has started a business knows how exciting that is!
