# Premium Aluminum Wallets The MICRO Wallet Streamlines Card and Cash Carrying By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-01-19 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/micro-wallet References: [geeky-gadgets](http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/micro-minimalist-wallet-constructed-from-aluminium-19-01-2016/) & [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1633234546/the-most-beautiful-minimalist-wallet-ever?ref=category_popular) Developed to help reduce the bulk associated with men's wallets, the MICRO Wallet is crafted from premium aluminum with a beautiful finish for dapper gentlemen to enjoy. Exceedingly thin in design the MICRO Wallet works by incorporating a piece of aluminum in order to keep cards and cash in a secure position. From here, the wallet keeps everything in place via a soft strap that can expand or contract depending on how much is being held inside the device. Three different color options -- all of which are metallic in finish -- remind one of premium [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/proof-wallet) products, which will suit the lifestyles of digital creatives perfectly. Currently funding on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/titaner-titanium-edc-wallet), the MICRO Wallet is a modern approach to slimming down when it comes to wallet bulk. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 87% | Activity: 93% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Fashion for Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashionformen) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Minimalist Wallets:** The trend of minimalist wallets provides an opportunity for businesses to create sleek and efficient wallet designs. - **Premium Materials:** The use of premium materials such as aluminum in wallets presents an opportunity for businesses in the fashion and accessory industry to cater to consumers who value quality. - **Digital Creative Lifestyle:** The rise of the digital creative lifestyle creates a market for wallet designs that appeal to this target audience. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion and Accessories:** The fashion and accessory industry can capitalize on the minimalist wallet trend by offering stylish and functional designs. - **Technology and Gadgets:** The technology and gadgets industry can explore opportunities in creating wallets that align with the digital creative lifestyle. - **Crowdfunding Platforms:** Crowdfunding platforms can benefit from the growing demand for innovative wallet designs, like the MICRO Wallet, by supporting and promoting similar projects. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hybrid Metallic Leather Wallets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/proof-wallet.md) - [Worldwide Tracking Wallets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/performance-wallet.md) - [Magnetic EDC Smartphone Wallets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dango-magsafe-wallet.md) - [Tool-Equipped Titanium Wallets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/titaner-titanium-edc-wallet.md) - [Suede-Like Automotive Lining Wallets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mvst-rfidblocking-alcantara-slim-wallet.md) - [Sleek Colorful Card Wallets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wallet-30.md) - [Protective Fan-Style Wallets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shuffle-wallet.md) - [Minimalist Industrial Wallet Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reaf-wallet.md) - [Minimalist Magnetized Smartphone Wallets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bellroy-mag-wallet.md)
