THE NEW CHIC : A CREATIVE APPROACH - Entrepreneur featuring the STEWART/STAND Stainless Steel Wallet Collection.

Repurposed is the new chic. The accessories made by family-owned STEWART/STAND, carried by hip design stores like those at the Museum of modern Art and the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens in New York, are made from repurposed industrial-grade stainless steel fabric. You have to touch them to believe: The steel feels like silk. Not only are they cool, sleek and eco-conscious, the steel protects your credit cards and passports from Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) hackers. RFID chips send out a signal to scan the information off your credit and debit cards. But if they’re tucked away in STEWART/STAND stainless steel bill fold, the RFID signal can’t get through.
