Creative Beans is dedicated to inspiring creative thinking for sustainable living

Tetrapak Wallets: An environmentally quirky way to store your money and cards!
Tetrapak recycled wallets are handmade in the Kingdom of Swaziland, using discarded milk and fruit juice cartons. The wallets are a creative and practical approach to recycling in a country where there is a need for environmental awareness and creative thinking. All of the Tetrapaks used have a uniquely African design, in particular those for Mageu, a maize drink.
The wallets provide inspiration to think creatively and see economic potential in what is usually regarded as waste. Each wallet is made from a recycled carton so quality may differ. Each wallet also had a life of its own before becoming a wallet. Imagine the stories it could tell. Inside each wallet you will find a 5c Swazi coin as a symbol of good luck. May prosperity flow with ease and abundance!
