# Lightweight German-Engineered Wallets The 'I-CLIP' Wallet Stores 12 Cards, Cash and More By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2018-11-27 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iclip-wallet References: [coolmaterial](https://coolmaterial.com/gear/mens-wallets/the-i-clip-wallet-is-the-wallet-reinvented/) & [i-clip.us](https://www.i-clip.us) Digital payment methods are threatening the life of the traditional wallet, so designers are taking a more aggressive approach to style and efficiency, which is evident with new products like the 'I-CLIP' wallet. The German-made wallet is just slightly larger than a credit card and weighs in at just over half an ounce to make it an impossibly compact accessory that will hold all of your essentials. This includes offering space for up to 12 cards along with cash in the integrated money clip to make it a powerhouse of efficiency for those who are on the brink of ditching their wallet but still require one. The 'I-CLIP' wallet comes in a variety of design options and also features a slide mechanism to make accessing cards simple. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 76% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Fashion for Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashionformen) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Digital Payment Methods:** The rise of digital payment methods creates an opportunity for innovative wallet designs that cater to a cashless society. - **Compact and Efficient Wallets:** Designers are focusing on creating lightweight and efficient wallets that can hold all essentials while taking up minimal space. - **Simplified Access to Cards:** The integration of slide mechanisms in wallet designs offers a convenient and intuitive way to access cards. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion and Accessories:** Fashion brands and accessory manufacturers can explore innovative wallet designs to meet the changing needs of consumers in a digital era. - **Digital Payments:** Companies in the digital payments industry can collaborate with wallet designers to create integrated solutions that enhance the user experience. - **Product Design and Manufacturing:** Design and manufacturing companies specializing in wallets can differentiate themselves by focusing on creating compact, lightweight, and efficient designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-Slim Connected Wallets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ekster-wallet-pro.md) - [Hybrid Metallic Leather Wallets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/proof-wallet.md) - [Minimalist Industrial Wallet Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reaf-wallet.md) - [Metallic Multitool Wallet Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ekster-tool-card.md) - [Sleek Minimal Contemporary Wallets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pioneer-wallet.md) - [Tough Tracker-Friendly Wallets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ekster-cardholder.md) - [Protective Fan-Style Wallets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shuffle-wallet.md) - [Tool-Equipped Titanium Wallets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/titaner-titanium-edc-wallet.md) - [Worldwide Tracking Wallets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/performance-wallet.md)
