Forget Your Wallet? Go Directly to Jail! Do Not Pass Go. The Judge Collects $200

Vvego International's Pivvot Wallet

This may come as a shock, but in the city of New York, you are actually required to pay your bill at any restaurant with actual money from your actual wallet. Or else?

You’ll be arrested.

The word you are probably looking for about now is: WHUUUT?

 As it would turn out, Italian tourist Graziano Graziussi, a lawyer from Naples, Italy no less, went on a trip to New York and found he’d accidentally forgotten his wallet back at his hotel.

No harm, no foul, he’d just get a busboy to follow him back to the place, right? RIGHT?  The correct answer is, “Nope.”

 Try as he would, poor Graziussi was put in jail. 

The hotel was fifteen minutes away! The guy even offered to leave his iPhone at the restaurant as collateral, until he returned with the money to pay his $208 bill, but he still ended up breaking bad and checking out on the prison bus. 

Maybe the poor gentleman will decide to visit Tokyo rather than New York next time, and take his chances with the karaoke machines.

Now if he’d shopped at Vvego, he might’ve had a chance at remembering that wallet because it would have been a very cool wallet. 

Vvego’s wallets can be wild, but they don’t come on leashes (yet), and sadly, they don’t have the same function as the panic button on your car. Yet, Vvego goes out of its way to make sure you at least remember what your wallet looks like.  

Vvego wallets are not your standard black or brown imitation leather carry piece that you can find on clearance at Marshall’s.  We’re talking genuine leather, maybe with a pivvot, and custom made to your specifications. 

Why would a pivvot be memorable? Aside from the Vvego Pivvot wallet having two “v’s,” It shouldn’t be, but how many wallets have you run into in the wild that operate on a pivot and can carry six  to eight of your cards and all of your cash?

 None, that’s how many. 

 If  you want to compare notes, feel free, but I seriously doubt your wallet was also made in America. Nothing better than prime leather wallet to go with that USDA prime beef that New York is so worried about you dining and dashing over.

And if you think you’ll still be sitting next to that guy singing James Brown on the prison bus, check out the Area 51 section for custom-made pieces that are truly one of a kind.  

Animal prints are great so long as your pants don’t match them, and if stripes aren’t your style, there’s the Python model to make any self-respecting Slytherin drool. 

But if you freak out at the thought of snakes, go for sharkskin. Shark trumps snake, almost always…

Hmm… That could be the next Discovery Channel special.

Uh-huh…  Could happen.
