5 out of 5 starsI LOVE this wallet! It showcases one of my absolute favorite beers of all time, and I love using it. I saw some of her other products at a Pop Local shop in Vancouver, but saw the Deschutes Abyss wallet on her Etsy site and wanted that one more. Shipping was VERY fast and I had it in my hands in just a few days. Very happy with it!

5 out of 5 starsThis was a custom order to outfit a group of cycling friends that ride together regularly. Service was lightening fast and the recipients have now adopted these wallets as their every day wallet case not just when biking. I’ve had one I’ve carried for over 6k miles riding on my bike, stuffed in the back pocket of my jersey l, and it looks good as new. I vary a copy of my insurance card and license in case I have an accident, and Mindy’s gear keeps right on going! Quality work through and through.

5 out of 5 starsI asked for a grommet in the wallet - I wear it around my neck. Very small and handy.

Johnny 5, my reason for everything.
Wallets, Luggage Tags and more upcycled from used Craft Beer packaging.
I am a full-time, single-mom trying to make my creativity support us. I started making wallets and other accessories out of craft beer 4-packs and 6-packs in 2010. I designed my best-selling, bi-fold men's wallet in July of 2011. All patterns are my own, sketched down on notepads and graph paper.
I strive to make each piece completely functional and sturdy. At the same time, I wish to embrace the novelty of "upcycling" a used beer package. I do not intend my pieces to look like they were manufactured in mass quantities by machines. Remember, I hand-make every single piece you see in my shop. I want you to pull out your wallet and embrace all its blemishes. Every scuff, crease, or seam you see in the box material should be a reminder that someone (maybe it was you or maybe it was ME) who appreciates craft beer enjoyed every bottle that was kept in that six-pack box. It should bring back fond memories and make you thirsty for more. I'm right there with you as I put my heart into every piece of beer gear that emerges from my cutting table.

DISCLAIMER: Mindy's Beer Gear is not licensed product of the breweries the materials came from. Mindy's Beer Gear items were created in my home workshop. Mindy's Beer Gear is in no way trying to compete with or duplicate any products sold by the breweries. All materials used were obtained by purchasing & consuming the product. Those materials were then upcycled and turned into something new instead of throwing them away and filling some landfill. Mindy's Beer Gear makes beer gear because she loves beer and supports breweries in the craft beer world. Nearly all of the breweries who's boxes I use are happy with what I do. If anyone isn't, I willingly do not upcycle their trash. I'm not here to get rich. Just to pay for diapers :)

Many of the boxes I use are from breweries I am in contact with and I have consent to use their boxes. I have such an overwhelmingly positive response from craft brewers that I assume, for the most part, that I am doing something good. If any of you craft breweries are not happy with what I am doing please let me know. I have no problem with you exercising your trademark rights and I will cooperate with your request to stop using your trash.
