One of the struggles for the haute-hipster is the search for the right wallet. The quality and style imbued into Coach and Diesel products was upset by the social ideals behind them, and the free spirited, DIY, hipster spirit of Poketo and Dynomighty was mired by the flimsy and unsatisfying construction. After the demise of db clay, I believed there was nothing worth finding. Then I stumbled upon Hlaska.

With a focus on nature and science, as well as design and function, and only made with the finest European materials, Hlaska’s products truly capture the haute-hipster ideal: they have style, they have substance, and nobody knows about them. If you’re looking for wallets, bags, cufflinks, neckwear, and other classist wares, but want to retain your unique, indomitable fuck-you spirit, check out Hlaska.

Based just south of San Francisco, in Burlingame, CA, Hlaska has two flagships, one located in Lower Pacific Heights at 2033 Fillmore St.
