Los Angeles

Just because you don't spend your weekends peering through a monocle to bid on rare Cezannes doesn't mean you don't want art in your life. For back-pocket brilliance, try Poketo wallets.

Just $20 apiece, Poketo's wallets are a collaboration between two Downtowners and a worldwide network of artists -- over 100 exceptionally creative talents unafraid to have their oeuvre pressed against ass. The boldly graphic selections are printed onto double-layered vinyl, and range from monster trucks romping through tastefully layered jungle scenes, to a Soul Brother/Samurai duo blazing through the night in a flaming convertible, to a released-today print of an enormous deer rampaging through a city (like Cloverfield, but it nibbles your mom's flowers). Inside, you'll find a quick bio card on the maker and/or work, and a bonus decorous pin from the artist, in case you're uniform's short of flair, and you haven't yet found your Ron Livingston to whisk you away from all this.

Poketo also arts up t-shirts, notebooks, and bottle openers -- because it doesn't take a monocle to see that any beer coming out of a twist-off isn't fit for a baboon.
