About

In 2015 I had lost my bifold wallet in Bali. I continued the rest of the trip with my remaining cards and some notes secured together with an elastic band. After living like this for a while it became normal. I didn’t miss my old wallet, I didn’t feel any need to replace it. I got used to not using coins. This felt so much better.

There were of course problems with an elastic band as a wallet. Getting cards in and out was a bit fiddly. It didn’t look great. The rubber made sliding it out your pocket difficult. It occasionally snapped. I had a problem to solve so the engineer in me took over.

Six months later I launched the V1 Attenuo wallet.

Over the next year or so I was always reading customer feedback as soon as I got it. I spoke to many about what they liked about it and didn’t like. I had also been using my product since the very first 3D printed prototype, so knew what I wanted to improve. I bought a 3D printer. Then another. My spare bedroom quickly turned into a workshop.

The V2 Wallet was then launched mid 2019 after a year of development.

During 2020 Covid-19 lockdown I developed and launched the most recent addition to the range, the Key Carry. This is proudly 3D printed and assembled entirely in house.

Thanks to all those who supported me along the way.
