Hlaska Wallets

Anthony Mazzei designed his first bag in 1994 in his dorm room. Now his company, Hlaska, has a growing clientele across the U.S. We love a good success story. The idea? Original, functional, handmade leather bags and wallets. The flagship store is on Fillmore Street in San Francisco, but you can order from hlaska.com. Pictured: wallets that are not too hard on the eyes or the wallet ($95 to $195).
