A travel passport is one of the most important and valuable pieces of ID a person has. It makes sense then that the Clasped ID wallet purse by Joong Han Lee takes design inspiration from passports.

The Clasped ID clutch looks like a real [travel passport book](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-us-passport). With a dark green Korean passport cover, this passport clutch would fool anyone into believe that it was a real travel passport. This passport purse is shaped to fold open just like a passport book that, instead of holding pages of identification inside, you can stash your change and cards. The purse keeps all your monetary change and [cards safe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peak-design-travel-wallets) from falling out with a gold snap-lock. The same size as a real passport, this passport purse is small enough to fit into any pocket.
