Some would argue that the days of the physical wallet are numbered, but the 'V Wallet 2.0' is an ultra-thin minimalist wallet design that shows how the accessory is evolving to stay relevant.
Constructed using rich saffiano leather, the 'V Wallet 2.0' is impossibly thin to help users maintain minimal heft in their pockets when heading out the door.
The 'V Wallet 2.0' features slots that will hold up to eight cards in addition to cash and will even help to protect against RFID theft. This is thanks to the thin wallet's design that stops signals from being read when the cards are within the unit.
The 'V Wallet 2.0' is currently being funded on Kickstarter where the wallet can be preordered at low early bird prices.
