Unlike many slim wallets, Tenuis has mastered the concept of "decentralization"
There are many wallets out there that are designed to keep their thickness down by not stacking cards and coins. Our other model, "Tynd," is one of them. However, Tenuis is on a completely different evolutionary path.
The answer Tenuis came up with was to go beyond avoiding overlapping of different items and to thoroughly disperse overlaps between coins and cards.
1. "Dispersion Puzzle" that uses up all the space
In a typical wallet, cards are piled up and coins are concentrated in one place. No matter how thin the material is, the moment you put something inside, that area will bulge.
Tenuis' card pockets and coin storage space are positioned to maximize the wallet's overall footprint. This distributed approach, which avoids concentrating thickness in one spot, allows the wallet to remain flat even when fully loaded. This is the reason why the wallet is "thinner than it looks" when you pick it up.
2. Question the common belief that a thin wallet means you can't fit anything inside
Many slim wallets impose strict capacity limits on users, such as "up to six cards" or "up to ten coins," in order to maintain their slimness. However, in reality, this is not always possible. Change can suddenly increase, receipts pile up, and spare cards that you only use occasionally but still want to have.
The amazing thing about Tenuis is its **generosity in gently accepting "temporary weight gain."**
-
Benefits of the hidden pocket: Cards that you don't use regularly or spare business cards can be stored in the hidden pocket that makes use of dead space.
- A coin purse that won't overflow: The coin space has a large capacity and a mechanism that distributes coins well, so you don't have to worry if you temporarily have more coins.
The Tenuis design philosophy is not to "throw away the contents to maintain its thinness," but to "maintain an efficient thinness even when filled with a lot."
Optimal usability proven by 10 years of history
This structure wasn't created overnight. It's the result of a 10-year history of evolving materials, starting with canvas and then Italian leather. During that time, we've received real feedback from users, such as "I want to be able to put in more cards" and "I want to be able to quickly insert receipts," and we've incorporated that feedback into our unique decentralized structure.
This shape, which has been passed down to the third and fourth generations of Tenuis, is not a response to stoic minimalism, but rather the result of a continued search for the "best value of practical usability and thinness."
Conclusion: Get the thinness you need without taking away your freedom
"I want a thin wallet, but I don't want to compromise on storage capacity." To fulfill this ambitious wish, Tenuis has chosen a complex and intricate structure unlike any other wallet.
You can use it to suit your lifestyle without being bound by capacity limits. We believe that the reason Tenuis has been loved for over 10 years is because of its "highly flexible thinness."
