The First Annual Duct Tape Wallet Contest

Luxury Item. What does that mean to you? Maybe it’s something beautiful, perhaps unnecessary, and expensive? Something that makes you feel great: the perfect pair of buttery soft leather cowboy boots, the wrist watch that flashes diamonds as well as the time, or the charming dog the size of a guinea pig? Or perhaps it’s a $200 wallet that some poor animal gave up its hide for? Hey, wait a minute. How does that make you feel good? Here’s a new twist on luxury. How about something that’s stylish, definitely a status symbol, and absolutely one of a kind? And, believe me, when you spend just twenty bucks on it and (should you choose to do so…) donate the remaining one hundred and eighty to charity, you’ll feel fabulous. All this and a workout for your brain too. “How can this be,” you must be asking yourself. We certainly did. Then we saw it:

The build it yourself Duct Tape Wallet Kit.

This is the ultimate in quality, style-conscious fashion, and conscience-conscious spending. It’s brilliant. * See footnote below re: how great is duct tape?

This wallet is just hard enough to put together to leave you with a real sense of accomplishment. That wonderful “look, I did it myself” feeling. That alone is worth twenty dollars! So, let your imagination run wild. Customize. Embellish. Make it uniquely your own, and then….enter our contest. Yes, in the spirit of fashion forward thinking and maybe just a little springtime craziness, Locals is running a Best Wallet Design contest. With prizes! There are two categories: most creative and most stylish. The prize is - you guessed it - a six bottle collection of our wonderful wines to drink while you toast your winning wallet and cutting–edge personal style.

All that’s left to do is get creative. Our “jury” will be selecting a winner on June 1^st, 2008 so come on in and buy your kit or click here to order online and get busy. When you are finished either bring your wallet to locals or email us a picture of the finished product and you are officially entered into the contest.

Happy spring from the gang at Locals!

* You Gotta love Duct Tape. It’s good for everything. Come on….tell us you’ve never used it for emergency plumbing repairs? How about Halloween costumes, holding your reading glasses together, umbrella repair, temporary patching of a bicycle tire, patching your kid’s raingear? This stuff is amazing. Maybe we need another contest. Best use of Duct Tape perhaps?
