Walk, Don’t Run is a compact accessory to keep important items close and easy to grab. Choose to create a wristlet or lanyard for your preferred carry option.

Also choose between woven or nonwoven fabric to feature the designs and material for the look you want to coordinate with outfits, bags, and seasons, or make a variety for customized gifts!

The exterior panels are ideal for featuring embroidery or applique.
