  • New Product :: The Passport Wallet

    Passport case

    Intro: 

    It's the traveler's guide to efficiency and style, the only item you'll need from that early morning arrival to late-night departure, the Passport Wallet will never leave your side. 

    Development:

    Find yourself with too many things to carry while trying to catch a flight? You aren't alone. It had to fit all the essentials: passport, cash, credit cards, maybe a boarding pass or two? We crafted something slim and secure, that could fit everything you need safely in your front pocket while running out the door. Acts like a wallet, looks and feels like a passport holder. Ditch the fanny pack and put the Passport Wallet in your pocket. 

    Features:

    With three convenient credit card holders, a cash sleeve, and attached snap enclosure--there is finally a passport case that keeps all your travel must-haves tucked away right in your pocket. 

    We promise this isn’t just cooler, it’s better.

  • Leather Mouse Pad :: Valentine’s Day

    On February 14th you have an opportunity, a chance to stray away from the classic “roses for Valentine’s Day cliché” and show that special someone how you truly feel.

    Nothing screams, "I still wanna make-out with you" like giving leather on the most Hallmark of holidays. A custom embossed leather mouse pad is the gift that lasts for a lifetime. Everyday your sweetheart can slide their hands over the smooth luxurious leather, a true object of your genuine devotion and affection.

    But don't worry, if you’re not much of a VDay participant, you don’t have to deny yourself a piece of sexy desk decor. Just imagine a more enjoyable feeling than the touch of your mouse on a smooth leather surface.

    CUSTOM EMBOSSING:

    Spoiled yourself enough this year? Get the Make Smith Leather Mouse Pad custom embossed for some you know who will love and appreciate the leather everyday. Or at least to keep their hands off your own. 

    Buy one here! $65
