The Manila Folder Purse and Wallet
The purse and wallet that look like a manila folder. Why not try to reimagine the manila folder’s purpose into something a little more exciting! It is an object that is slowly going out of use. Why not repurpose the shape?

Behind the Project

The original Untitled Folder is what we consider one of our holy grail products. It sold out in record time, and that pushed us to keep iterating on the design. The next step was to look at folders created for other operating systems, and that exploration eventually led designs inspired by more digital wallets. However, we also studied physical folders, which brought us to the classic manila folder seen in schools and workplaces everywhere. That manila folder became the starting point and laid the groundwork for the rest of the Untitled Folder purses that followed.
