# Everyday Minimalist Wallets The 'FOCX' Smart Wallet Does Away with Unnecessary Materials By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2018-02-16 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/focx-smart-wallet References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2018/02/15/the-wallet-thats-smaller-than-your-cards/) & [focx-wallet](http://focx-wallet.com/) Wallets haven't changed too much over the years in terms of basic function and material choices, so the 'FOCX' smart wallet is intended to switch things up to offer consumers a new way to look at an essential accessory. Impossibly compact, the wallet can hold up to five cards with a clip on the side that can hold more cards or some banknotes. This makes the wallet more of a beefed-up [money clip](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bellroy-mod) than a traditional wallet, which speaks to the rising popularity of [minimalist design aesthetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bellroy-mag-wallet) amongst consumers who are looking to eliminate unnecessary items from their lives. The 'FOCX' smart wallet is crafted from a combination of leather, yarn and elastic for a premium final product that is built to last.
