the story of hail the right brain!
from the depths of mamaroneck, new york, a land of pine trees, pheasants, and endless boredom, rises the duct tape wallet empire, hail the right brain! like a phoenix from the ashes, hail the right brain started with humble beginnings. using cheap gluey one dollar rolls of duct tape, kelly pioneered the vast untamed field of duct tape wallet making. after several attempts utilizing materials from her garbage, the prototype was complete: a bifold wallet with cash and card pockets, a transparent id holder, and a change purse, all assembled compactly to fit in your snug back pocket. but our story does not end here. with high prospects of earning a profit, kelly brought her brainchild to her sister veronica, who combined her abundant image resources and artistic mastery to create hail the right brain's first wallet front designs. from there, with the help of talented budding artists and state-of-the-art materials, the phoenix took flight and escalated to the majestic heights of online sales, crafty boutiques, summer festivals, and charity auctions. all hail the right brain!
