Abstract
Description
- Wallets are traditionally designed to hold paper currency, coins, credit cards, bank cards, identification cards, etc. Wallets may be constructed from various fabric and leather material, or a combination thereof. Durability may be a consideration when selecting a material for a wallet. Leather is used in a wide range of application, including in the construction of wallets, due to the durable nature of leather. Manufacturers may also select heavier textile fabrics to produce wallets. However, neither leather nor heavy textile fabric typically offer any elasticity. With use, leather and heavy textiles may become stretched and therefore less able to hold the contents of the wallet securely.
- Various shapes of wallets are well known, including a card holder, a bifold, and a trifold. Such wallets vary significantly in size, especially when filled. Typically, wallets are sized to fit into trouser and/or jacket pockets. Wallet sleeves or pockets typically comprise a straight seam and may be composed of the same material as the wallet body.
- Accordingly, there are a number of problems in the art that can be addressed.
- Implementations described herein are directed to a bifold wallet and methods of production therefor. In at least one implementation, a bifold wallet comprises a rectangular base. The rectangular base can include an inner surface comprising an elastic sleeve, and at least one additional inner pocket. The rectangular base can also include an outer surface comprising at least one outer pocket.
- Additionally or alternatively, in at least one implementation, a bifold wallet can comprise a rectangular base comprising an inner surface and an outer surface. The inner surface can include a first end and a second end. The first end can comprise an elastic sleeve with a decorative design, and the second end comprises a first and a second inner pocket. The outer surface can comprise at least one outer pocket. The rectangular base can include at least one fold.
- Finally, in at least one implementation, a bifold wallet with an elastic sleeve can comprise a foldable rectangular base comprising a height in the range of 5-6 inches and a length in the range of 3-4 inches. An inner surface can comprise an elastic sleeve with a decorative design, and a first and a second inner pocket. An outer surface can include at least one outer pocket. The foldable rectangular base can comprise a width of less than ½ inch when folded.
- Additional features and advantages will be set forth in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice.
