Superlight
This cardholder style wallet began as a solution to a personal gripe I have with
most traditional wallets adding bulk to svelte clothing.
The idea resonated with others, resulting in
the lightest, slimmest & discreet everyday carry wallet
utilizing principals of reducing weight and celebrating materiality.
*limited production runs for like minded obsessives and currently sold out ;)

A typical wallet is unnecessary in the mobile-first era, only clashing with modern attire.

Getting
a Grip
The working principle is managing tolerances and torsional rigidity to have individual cards roll smoothly into the wallet, while also firmly gripping them in place with the wallet acting as a brace preventing bending and acting as the first surface when pushed into pockets.
Furthermore overhangs to the sides of the cards allow for resting places for fingers. These factors result in a satisfactory feeling of quality in movement.
Billet 6061 Aluminum is ideal for it’s rigidity, machinability and excellent finishing complimenting excellent CNC programming, assuring the precision to allow for hardware to be pressed in.
