there are so many minimalist wallets out in the wild that any new entrants would probably find it a daunting task to stand out. in fact, we have witnessed so many of them that it has come to a point where when we see another, we will just go like ‘oh, another minimalist wallet? ok’, but not with the STITCH & LOCKE Minimalist Cork Wallet. we think this new upstart dealing in the men’s accessories market may have hit the fashion nail on the head with its first product, the STITCH & LOCKE Minimalist Cork Wallet. the product name pretty much says it all, doesn’t it? it is minimal like what you have known up till this point about minimalist wallets and it is made of cork (and classic denim), for the sake of both sustainability and style.
of course, you don’t expect a coaster in your pocket; there is actually a little more than meets the cork. the cork is adhered to a backing material to form sheets of cork fabric, a process which makes them behaves and feel like leather, and understanding the susceptibility of cork to staining, the material is treated to a coating that would prevent staining and enhances the durability, while maintaining the cork’s natural beauty that will develop patina with use. so if you are looking for a minimal wallet that rocks style and grows with you, do look out for the STITCH & LOCKE Minimalist Cork Wallet which should be hitting crowdfunding platform Kickstarter in a couple of weeks time. price, at this point, is yet to be disclosed, but rest assure
we will keep this post updated when this thing hits Kickstarter. in the mean time, check out a few more look of this awesome product available on this post.
UPDATE [April 22, 2014; 09:35AM PST] the STITCH & LOCKE Minimalist Cork Wallet is live on Kickstarter. just less than a day, it is almost breaching its set funding goal. you can pre-order yours for as low as $26 and if all goes well, it will start shipping in June.
a mega thanks to Calvin for tipping us off!
