Phones and wallets are the two integral items people have within arms reach at nearly all times -- so why hasn't the wallet evolved at the same rate as the phone has? Passo aimed to create a solution for this question, by adding modern twists on the age-old design, which has barely seen innovation since its conception. The Solar Wallet is equipped with an internal money clip, allowing the user to carry up to eight cards, with a RFID protection to keep information safe from cyber criminals, a tracker that allows you to locate the wallet remotely should it get lost, and a small solar panel, which can be used to charge your phone. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 91% | Activity: 95% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Solar-powered Wallets:** There is an opportunity to create more convenient and eco-friendly smart wallets by integrating solar charging technology. - **Rfid-protected Wallets:** There is an opportunity to enhance the security of smart wallets by utilizing RFID technology to protect against cyber criminals. - **Smart Wallet Design Innovation:** There is an opportunity to revolutionize the design of smart wallets by adding modern twists and improving upon the age-old design. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Fashion companies can incorporate the solar charging technology and RFID protection into their smart wallet designs to offer eco-friendly and secure options for consumers. - **Technology:** Technology companies can invest in research and development to improve upon the design of smart wallets and integrate new technologies like solar charging and RFID protection. - **Consumer Electronics:** Consumer electronics companies can expand their product offerings by creating solar-powered smart wallets that can charge phones and other mobile devices on-the-go. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Solar-Powered Power Bank Wallets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/power-bank-wallet.md) - [Wallet-Integrated Power Banks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/walletintegrated-power-bank.md) - [Trackable Power Bank Wallets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veger-x5.md) - [Device-Charging Sun Hats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecoflow-power-hat.md) - [Folding Solar Power Panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dexpole-solar-power-bank.md) - [Expandable Solar Power Banks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deepsolar-x20-solar-power-bank.md) - [Origami Travel Solar Panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solar-panel-origami-technology.md) - [Self-Closing Smartphone Mounts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solar-smartphone-charger.md) - [Power-Providing Smartphone Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solove-power-bank.md)
