On Kickstarter, where they've got about three quarters of their $12,000 goal, 'recess' calls their design "slimming chubby wallets with style." They're responding to the influx of the market in wallets for men made from all sorts of material including vegan cork and aluminum. But they all have the same effect, they say, an overstuffed look that's not too hot.
What is more, recess is looking to humanize Chinese production through their products and brands, especially after searching for a manufacturing company in the United States that could compete with the design they wanted. "We are based in San Francisco where all of our designing, marketing, and collaborating takes place," they write on their website. "Additionally, we have carefully selected the best factories in China to produce our products in order to ensure that the craftsmanship and treatment of its workers mirror our core tenets."
