CheshireNat Designs began back in 2009. Well, that's not quite true. For years before I started this adventure, I'd been making custom duct tape wallets for friends--anything ranging from simple color combinations to super hero logos and garden gnomes. The more wallets I made, the more requests I got.

Friends had often urged me to sell my creations, duct tape and otherwise, and in 2009 I found myself less of a freelance writer and more of a starving artist. With the extra time on my hands, I took the plunge. The results have been more positive than I ever expected.

In the years since, I have strived to streamline my designs for cleverness and quality, fun and function. From the basic bifold wallet, I have expanded to a variety of wallet styles and accessories, each one created from scratch, not from patterns found online. Every wallet type is tested and carried by myself to ensure functionality and quality. I refuse to sell an item I wouldn't want to carry myself.

All wallet designs--owls, critters, food friends--are first drawn by hand and translated into duct tape. Some are sewn on and embroidered, others benefit from a more modern feel. I try to create designs that appeal to all ages-- my wallets are kid AND adult friendly, because I don't believe being a grown up means you can't be fun.
