Imagine the designers of mobile phones, global positioning devices, car keys, house keys, MP3 players, Personal Digital Assistants and leather wallets were to get together and design the ultimate leather wallet.  

Obviously it would have to come in an assortment of shapes and sizes:

  • Like those that go in a man's back pocket
  • Like those in  a man's breast pocket
  • Like women's clutch purses
  • And, who would wish to limit freedom, why not the Compact

It would have to be flexible, robust, convenient to re-charge and intuitive to use.

  A Wallet Designed For You and Me, in Something We Trust!

In 1996 this rendering was such a wallet

Add MP3, TV, GPS ... Inside

Reduce the number of things people carry around.  In 1995, one could imagine an executive carrying:

  • Wallet with money, drivers license, Credit/Debit card(s), social Insurance card, Health card, membership cards etc

  • A filofax with calendar, address book, notes, to do list, expense records, maps etc.

  • A travel wallet with passport, tickets, frequently flyer cards and an INS card

  • A mobile phone with an abbreviated telephone list

  • Keys

  • Change

Depending on situations the wallet carries four cards each registered to me and set up as follows:

  1. Gold Payment Card with All EMV applications

  2. Fitness Club Card
  3. National ID / Drivers License
  4. Optional Card

The concept

A Wallet that could read and write to both the magnetic stripe and the smart card

We carry a lot of identity cards

All important items

All needing a place in our pockets
