The Vinyl Wallet






Its the two piece vinyl wallet! In addition to all the other unique fashion wallets out there, theres a new one on the block. The user would recieve this in the mail fitting quite comfortably in its envelope, and put together their own wallet. Its construction is simple and the end result is a very useable, versatile and durable accessory that everyone has, and from showing it to a range of people has proven to be liked by both males females.


When designing this wallet, I wanted it to bear the common features of present wallets out there, remembering that people have their own set ways of organising their wallets and would find a new wallet to be more appealing if it satisfied current needs. Based on the way the 2 fold wallet, I included a long space for notes, a pouch for coins and slots for cards and four corner cut outs to display an ID card, in place of a window. The 2 pieces allow for different colour co-ordinations to personalise the wallet and the vinyl material leaves ample potential for materials to be printed on with various designs/patterns etc.


After weaving 4 and a half strips through the wallet, it is complete, and the end result is a rather attractive, neat looking item to make a suitable gift for both guys and girls in the typical youthful range.

i like how you've considered the basic features of what a wallet would need to hold. theres nothing worse than having a wallet that cant hold the things a wallet should be able to.
one of the improvements that could be made to the design could be to find a way to make the tabs and the strap that goes around the wallet not stick out?
other than that, nice design.
