When choosing a slim, bi-fold wallet, many people worry, “Won’t it end up bulging once I put cards in it?” It’s not uncommon for the center to bulge when you store about 6 to 8 cards, making the wallet feel thicker than you’d expect from such a compact design.
■ Why Do Mini Wallets Bulge?
In standard bifold wallets, the design often consolidates cards into a single compartment.
・Cards overlap, concentrating the thickness in one
spot・Only the center bulges out・It feels awkward
in your pocket
This “concentration of thickness in one spot” is the reason why even mini wallets bulge.
■ The Concept of Distributing Cards
The Tenuis 3rd and 4th generations address this issue with a design called the “Twin Card Slot.”
・Stores cards in two separate
locations・Distributes the weight of overlapping
cards・Ensures even thickness throughout
It’s a simple yet highly rational design.
■ Why a thin wallet stays flat
By arranging the cards side by side,
・The center doesn’t become thick
. ・The wallet remains flat overall. ・It
feels less bulky in a pocket.
As a result, it maintains a state where “even though it’s a thin wallet, it doesn’t bulge.”
■ What about the issue of increased surface area?
People often wonder, “Won’t the wallet get bigger if the cards are arranged side-by-side?” but
・Exactly the area of two
cards・Elimination of unnecessary
gussets・Optimized sizing through internal stitching
This ensures the wallet retains its compact size.
■ How to avoid regrets when choosing a card wallet
Common regrets when choosing a mini wallet include:
・Not enough room for all
your cards・It bulges when
full・Difficult to remove cards
These are the common issues.
The design of the wallet can make a big difference in avoiding these frustrations.
