The SLIM is a money billfold that departs from the conventional material exterior and utilizes aircraft grade aluminum to provide a much more heavy duty place to house cards and cash. The wallet is made from a slim rectangle of metal with a simple drawstring that is used to clip cards into place. The design creates a much more compact and thin place to keep monetary necessities.
While most wallets opt for pockets, compartments and a fold open design, the SLIM keeps things simple with a block of aluminum that acts as the back of the billfold. There aren't any clips or fixtures in this wallet, rather a minimal stretchy band that keeps everything tucked into place. Despite the metal make, the SLIM measures no bigger than an iPhone 6.
