Shalgo
Shalgo make stuff out of duct tape. Over here we tend to call it gaffer tape, although it's all the same. Either way you don't expect people to make things from it, but fortunately for us that's exactly what Shalgo do.
Unique Shalgo Wallets
Their duct tape wallets are a thing of beauty and more importantly, will make all your friends green with envy when you pull one out of your pocket down the pub. Shalgo started in 2003 when Dutch designer Vanessa Vermolen met entrepreneur Charles Peacock - an American with an English name. The fact they looked like brother and sister didn't stop them getting married and Shalgo was born.
Practical Retro Accessories
Dedicated to creating hip, utilitarian products with a touch of fun, Shalgo draw inspiration from industrial materials and post-Nintendo colour palettes. That's what their website says anyway. They also sell fast food, mailed straight to your house! We haven't tried it yet but the Cheese Steak Burger looks great. Shalgo are based in Los Angeles, love football and their favourite drink is Ginger Ale.
