From triangles to rectangles, the wallets were inspired by a bundle of banknotes held together by a rubber band. Considering that, according to the designer, "The mission was to create a design with the minimal amount of materials, simplifying the object to its basic function," it inspiration behind them should come as no surprise.

Perfect for the constant traveller, Nothing Fancy by Chieh simplifies these necessary items to make the journey easier and more convenient.
