Upstart wallet-makers Dash Wallets designed the TRIM Wallet, an ultra-thin wallet that is sleek and slender but is able to carry all the items you carried around in your old bulging number. The wallet is designed to provide easier access to cash and cards in a slim and lightweight package.
Most wallets feature perpendicular slots, which are not comfortable to access. The TRIM wallets' slots placed at a 30 degree angle for optimal access to cards, with a curve behind the slots for gripping comfort. The cash compartment is also similarly angled and machine laser-cut for uniform shape.
The TRIM wallet uses saffiano leather stamped in a cross-hatch pattern, making it resistant to scratches and stains. The wallet's edges are oil-coated for improved durability and to prevent fraying and tearing of ends.
