Studio Smoll made a name for itself with the launch of of its original leather origami wallet, but the Taiwan-based company continues to innovate and improve on its past successes, which is why it is now emerging with the launch of its latest and greatest version of the 'Wrap' origami wallet.
These origami wallets are made from a single pieces and are capable of being folded and unfolded with utmost ease without adding undue thickness and without compromising on sturdiness. The wallet also features RFID-blocking shields to protect your personal identity.
The company says that the current iteration of its origami wallet came about after a heavy degree of experimentation with different dimensions, shapes, curves and crease layouts. "With our very own laser cutting machine, we’re able to create clean and clear edges on each leather piece," Studio Smoll notes in its product description.
This origami wallet is the subject of a Kickstarter campaign, with early bird ledges starting at $63.
