It can be a challenge to find wallets that aren’t actually bulky by design. The folks over at Bellroy seem to have gotten it right with their line of simple wallets, which look really neat.

“The award-winning author-illustrator–a former architect and junior high school teacher–is perfectly poised to be the Great Explainer of the whirrings and whizzings of the world of machines, a talent that landed the 1988 version of The Way Things Work on the New York Times bestsellers list for 50 weeks.

This looks really neat, and interesting to both adults and kids alike.
