I was excited to redeem my precious gift card, when I was confronted at the register with the familiar need to remove all 14 cards from my thick, stretched out wallet JUST to locate the one card I wanted. I of course fumbled and dropped everything. My cards flopped to the ground, the line behind me laughed and pointed (not really), and I was ashamed. Ashamed and angry. 

​​

"Never... ever... again.", I echoed in the mad chamber of my mind. I WANTED to carry all my cards. I NEEDED them! But there was no solution out there that gave me storage, slim design, AND easy access!

 

A musician by trade, with no experience engineering or designing wallets, I struggled to conceive a magic that would allow connected cards to extend for viewing, and retract to a tight stack. After many meditative moons, I prevailed and formed my first wallet prototype out of playing-cards and gaffers tape, and soon after began sourcing relationships and materials to produce the slick Swip Card Holder that you are about to buy. It is magic, it has changed my life, and it will change yours too. ​

​

My journey as a wallet maker was unexpected, and has only just begun. Next steps include optimization of cash and coin storage, and the pursuit of talented designers interested in getting creative with Swip Sleeves.
