Set to be released by Rever Brand, the wallet's design takes cues from modern architecture, featuring elegant lines and contours reminiscent of contemporary buildings. The RIN bi-fold has all the requirements of a wallet in terms of functionality. It's constructed from three attractive yet durable leathers, it has several flushed interior compartments for storing cards while reducing bulk, and it has RFID protection to keep cards safe. The wallet comes in four colors: Aro Brown, Cobblestone Gray, Prussian Blue, and Pine Green. The sleek wallet is set to launch on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-wallet) on January 31st, and it hopes to reach a funding goal of $6,000. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.9/10 - Popularity: 99% | Activity: 99% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Architecturally Inspired Products:** Designing products that take influence from modern architecture can create sleek and innovative designs. - **Slim and Functional Wallets:** Designing wallets that incorporate both functionality and a slim profile can appeal to consumers' everyday carry needs. - **RFID Protection Products:** Designing products with RFID protection can attract security-conscious consumers. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Accessories:** The fashion accessories industry can incorporate modern architecture into designs, particularly with wallets and other items worn daily. - **E-commerce:** E-commerce can be a successful platform to launch new products and brands, especially through funding platforms like Kickstarter. - **Consumer Electronics:** Consumer electronics can incorporate RFID protection into products, such as phone cases and wallets, to meet consumer security needs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [RFID-Blocking Origami Wallets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-wallet.md) - [Minimalist Industrial Wallet Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reaf-wallet.md) - [Sleek Minimal Contemporary Wallets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pioneer-wallet.md) - [Sleek Colorful Card Wallets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wallet-30.md) - [Multi-Purpose Cooling Wallets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carbon-fiber-rfid-wallet.md) - [Sturdy PFAS-Free Wallets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peak-design-travel-wallets.md) - [Feature-Rich Wallet Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neocraft-wallet-collection.md) - [Suede-Like Automotive Lining Wallets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mvst-rfidblocking-alcantara-slim-wallet.md) - [Digital Folder-Inspired Wallets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/untitled-folder.md)
