Initial idea from Philipp from Berlin:
I would like a men's wallet, ideally with the following features:
– up to 10 compartments for cards
– one coin compartment
– a double compartment for papers, banknotes, etc.
– but still as thin as possible
Therefore e.g. made of linen, maybe reinforced with some leather to make it robust.
A little color is okay, but not too much pattern, rather plain.(And by the way many greetings from the 5th floor to the neighbours of the Urban Change Lab!

The story of the project:
Negotiation phase
Hi Virginia,
that's a very nice colour for both the canvas and the leather. Thanks for this suggestion, let's go with these two!
Kind regards and greetings from Berlin,
Philipp
I was looking for a photo of the design I was thinking of but I will incorporate the coin pocket I just wanted to illustrate how we can use the leather and the canvas. I was thinking we use leather to make the 10 card holder slots and the coin pouch and the outline of the wallet then everything else in canvas to keep it slim and minimalist. What do you think,
Also, here's the budget.
Lovely weekend 🙂
Hi Virginia,
thank your for the illustration – this all looks excellent! I like the idea of a leather "frame" with the blue main parts in canvas. Maybe something similar is also possible for the coin pocket, so there is also a little bit of colour inside the wallet? I let you decide about that – if it's too complicated, we can keep the inside in leather without canvas.
The budget is fine, thank you!
All the best,
Philipp
We can definitely try making the coin pocket in canvas then see how it works out.
I'll be off to the tannery today so I'll start on it tomorrow. I hope that's fine.
Warm regards,
Virginia
