Concepts for three different wallets are under way.
#1. Exploded wallet.
Wallet that falls apart in a controlled way. It is different. I hope it will be useful. Could be attractive to a niche market of non-conformists. Intended mood: Rebellion
#2. Possum Fur Wallet.
Wallet made of Possum skin and fur instead of leather.
Fur will create a soft tactile experience on users fingers. User should feel pleased for using a product originating from New Zealand and a product made whilst ridding New Zealand forest of possum pests. User should feel elegant for possessing a fur wallet.
Intended moods: Austerity and Glamour
Note: objects made from animal fur are usually fairly expensive and often frowned upon. In this idea I am (hopefully) inverting both of these notions, as possums are everywhere in New Zealand I assume it isn't too expensive a material to purchase; Also as possums are a pest I am hoping that people will be for this product as it encourages the eradication of the pest in a humane way.
#3. Wallet with Digital Swipe Lock.
A wallet with limited accessibility to people who do not know the swipe code.
Inspired by the swipe lock security in LG touch screen cellphones. The wallet will not open until the swipe lock has been figured out.
Intended mood: Comfort.
Note: I am not confident in my ability to make a working prototype of this. Instead I will aim to create a wallet with a space to hold an LG cellphone. The use of this will require some imagination.
