Although I don't know if I would feel safe storing my money in something that is essentially edible, the Jay Cousins wallet is still pretty neat. This do-it-yourself project shows that if you're sick of the typical, quality leather wallets on the market, you can always fashion one for yourself out of kitchen ingredients.
According to PSFK, the Jay Cousins wallet is "made out of a bioplastic created with starch, water, vinegar and glycerine." Utilizing laser-cut techniques and good old fashioned stitching, this is definitely one wallet that you won't see on every person.
