Something new and fun added to the product mix here at Rocket Fuel over the weekend. Coin Purses! after my trusty coin purse I have had for years finally came to pieces I decided to make a replacement and add some bike love to it.

It turned out so well I made so more so everyone can carry their cash in style.
