Pretty much everything you could ask for from a heavy duty wallet. Three artists are featured in this Paper Wallets Artist Collection: Matacho Descorp, Phillipe Intraligi and Marcelo Oliveira. Their combined distinct designs are sure to satisfy people of all eclectic fashion tastes. **Implications** - Consumers appreciate products with [intricate designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragmenti) because they feel the time and effort put forth into making the item makes it intrinsically and monetarily more valuable than generic versions of the good.
