When roaming the islands, we like to travel light. Preferably board shorts, slippers and that's about it...less than that and we tend to get the stink-eye but I digress. Unfortunately, the need has arisen for something to carry the mounds of cards and cash required to navigate this modern jungle. Born out of necessity, and 2 years in the making, our Sherpa wallets carry everything you could need with the minimal esthetic we love. Add the most amazing curly Koa wood from the Big Island...and you have a hand made, one of a kind expression of Island style.

- Trigger button ejects 1-6 cards for easy access

- Aluminum RFID blocking hard case

- Elastic pocket securely holds cash and small items

Legendary Big Island Koa, Hand finished, laser cut, inked and assembled in our Shop in Honolulu, HI. If you've never used a small wallet like this, it allows you to conveniently carry in the front pocket which is much less likely to be picked...perfect for travel.

SHERPA LIKE ABILITY WITH MINIMAL BULK...CALL IT SIMPLIFIED EFFICIENCY.

An elegant solution...Everything in its place and a place for everything. If it doesn't fit, you probably don't need it. Space for 12 cards. Consider it your personal sherpa...it can carry so much while remaining slim. The only minimalist attribute is it's overall footprint.

HAND MADE IN HAWAII...DID WE MENTION THAT BIT OF RIDICULOUSNESS

A ton of work goes into getting you the perfect wallet...here's the rundown...I hand pick every piece of Koa for amazing grain patterns which I then hand sand, finish with water-based poly, laser cut, sip a beer, etch a design, apply ink and assemble. Like I said, pretty much ridiculousness...but it makes a super unique wallet. Read the full Hawaiian Koa Wood Story →

PARTY IN THE FRONT, BUSINESS IN THE BACK...UMM..YOU GET THE IDEA

Well the party is certainly rocking the Koa inlay in the front...the business end allows you to carry cash, more cards or whatever your little heart desires.

Common Questions

What is the Pono Woodworks Sherpa Wallet? +

The Sherpa is our minimalist koa wood wallet with an integrated money pouch — designed for the modern jungle. Exquisite curly Hawaiian Koa wood inlay in a slim, RFID-blocking body. Available in 5 designs: Plain, Wave, Island, Honu (turtle), and Dale Hope. Hand-finished in our shop in Honolulu, Hawaii with Big Island Koa.

Does the Sherpa Wallet have RFID blocking? +

Yes — every Sherpa Wallet has full RFID blocking to protect your cards from electronic pickpocketing. Works for credit cards, debit cards, IDs, hotel keys, and any RFID-enabled cards you carry. Peace of mind built in.

How many cards fit in the Sherpa Wallet? +

The Sherpa comfortably fits 5 normal width cards. It's designed to fight bulk — if you're currently carrying a fat leather bi-fold, expect to slim down. The money pouch handles a small stack of folded cash. Coin storage is minimal by design — this is a slim-EDC wallet, everything you need, nothing you don't.

What designs does the Sherpa come in? +

Five designs, all featuring exquisite curly Hawaiian Koa wood inlay: Plain (clean Koa panel), Wave (surf-inspired etch), Island (Hawaiian island silhouette), Honu (Hawaiian sea turtle etching), and Dale Hope (aloha-shirt inspired pattern by Dale Hope). Each on a black-and-Koa body.

Is the Sherpa Wallet water-resistant? +

Splash-resistant but not waterproof. The Koa wood is sealed within the wallet body which handles rain and everyday moisture. If it gets wet, wipe it down with a dry cloth. Don't submerge it or leave it in prolonged wet conditions — like any wallet, it's meant to live in your pocket, not your pool.

Where is the Sherpa Wallet made? +

Made in Hawaii — hand-inlaid Koa wood, hand-finished by our team in our Honolulu shop. Big Island Koa, small-batch production, no factory line. What arrives in your pocket was actually touched by real hands here in Hawaii.

How do I care for the Koa wood on the wallet? +

Wipe with a soft dry cloth when it's looking dusty. Avoid harsh chemicals and don't let the wallet soak in liquid. Everyday pocket-wear will develop a beautiful patina on the Koa over the years — that's the wood aging with you. Occasional light polishing with a beeswax or wood balm brings the grain back to life if it ever looks dry.

YOUR OWN PERSONAL SHERPA...STRAIGHT AWESOMENESS

my marketing efforts too over the top? surely...they don't let me out of the shop much but we stand behind it. Didn't like it? You can be the first...we'll refund your money and ship it back on our dime.
