We are delighted to share with you the news that our slim card holder got a mention in The Guardian as one of the 14 best card holders!  

Made from recycled cement bags this card holder is an eco-friendly way to organize your cards. The slim design makes it easy to fit it into any pocket while keeping your cards secure and stylish. 

The cement bags are collected in and around the Cambodian capital Phnom Penh, mostly from construction sites. They are then washed and cut to be transformed into card holders. 

Here are a couple of picture of the artisans making them. 

 

The small fair trade artisans group that makes these card holders works from a small workshop in the city of Phnom Penh. The project main aim is to provide living wages and training to disabled people, mainly victims of land mines and polio.
