New Swedish Front Pocket Wallet Brand Axess Announces Its Kickstarter Launch
Linkoping, Sweden, April 06, 2015 --(PR.com)-- A new Swedish brand of RFID-blocking wallets specifically designed for your front pocket recently launched on Kickstarter.
The designs are carefully proportioned to fit your everyday cash and cards in rich Italian vegetable tanned leather. “I used to say that Axess is a regular wallet cut in half,” Tomas Ericsson, founder of Axess Front Wallets says. “It’s half the size of a regular wallet, yet performs all the functions of a regular billfold".
A back condition caused Tomas to examine new ways of carrying a wallet.
“The 2-year journey of creating Axess started after I experienced back pain caused whenever I sat on my wallet. I researched the issue and interviewed several doctors and chiropractors who all said the same thing: switch to a front pocket wallet. After failing to find a good model on the market, I felt inspired to create my own brand. I wanted a definite solution, a wallet that fits cash and cards, yet fits seamlessly in your front pocket without protruding. Axess is that wallet.”
All models are also fitted with an RFID-blocking pocket to protect credit cards from electronic skimming.
“RFID technology, albeit convenient is vulnerable to Wireless identity theft or ‘Electronic Pickpocketing’ where credit and debit card data can be stolen via special low cost radio scanners without the cards being physically touched or removed from their owner's pocket, purse or carry bag,” says Tomas, “so I included RFID-protection in each model.”
The models are all handmade in genuine Italian leather from the Italian Vegetable-Tanned Leather Consortium which consists of 23 member tanneries, all of them based in Tuscany, in the area between Pisa and Florence called the ‘Leather District’. These suppliers have revived vegetable tanned leather traditions used during the Renaissance. The leather processing is thus not harmful to the environment, ages well, and looks exceptional. “Every component of Axess Front Wallets is hand cut, hand stitched and handmade, including the vegetable tanned leather itself – which adds a level of care and attention to each product that a mass produced product will never achieve, and I think it’s important to bring back that type of craftsmanship to our everyday accessories.”
With free worldwide shipping on the reasonably priced wallets, Tomas hopes that this will be the start of a new front pocket wallet brand. “I want to create a definite alternative to the traditional billfold and create the definite front pocket wallet," Tomas says.
