This Burmese craftsman makes lightweight wooden wallets for a living in Myanmar.

What started as a hobby for enterprising local Ko Thein Toe Aung eventually grew into a profitable business, with customers flocking to buy the wooden money holders from him online.

The wallets are made from two carved pieces of wood that slide to lock in place. Aside from banknotes, they can also be used to hold ID cards.

Ko Thein Toe Aung said: 'Other people might think the wallet is heavy because it is made of wood, but actually it only weighs 46 grams for a small one and 54 grams for a bigger one.'
