I am working on prototyping an entirely new card wallet design that goes a bit beyond my standard line. Enter&#8230;the zipper. Adding a zipper to an item as small as a card wallet proved to be quite the daunting task. This zipper doesn&#8217;t just fit squarely on a panel of leather. Nope, it curves around the edge of the wallet at a perpendicular angle. A complexity that has allowed me to develop new solutions that will end up becoming future products as well.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-117744\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/card-pocket-wallet-with-zipper_150_0012-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"leather wallet prototypes\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/card-pocket-wallet-with-zipper_150_0012-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/card-pocket-wallet-with-zipper_150_0012-337x225.jpg 337w, https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/card-pocket-wallet-with-zipper_150_0012-386x258.jpg 386w, https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/card-pocket-wallet-with-zipper_150_0012-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/card-pocket-wallet-with-zipper_150_0012.jpg 1100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In creating this new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/shopping\/product\/pocket-wallet-with-zipper\/\">Card Pocket Wallet<\/a> brought me through several design iterations that each provided new solutions&#8230;and new problems to solve.
