u/Unlucky-Mixture-1206

I spent months prototyping a solution for the "phone-wallet-keys" mental checklist. The goal was to create a monolithic gear-wrap that houses everything I need to leave the house in one simple, minimalist form factor.

Design & Materials

• Fabric: Olive X-Pac (Durable, water-resistant, and maintains that structured look).

• Hardware: Strong internal magnetic closure for a satisfying, secure snap.

• Inspiration: Heavily influenced by the layout of the Evergoods CAP1, but slimmed down and modified for pocket/on-body carry.

Key Features

• Dedicated Phone Slot: No more sliding around; it’s sized to keep the phone secure but accessible.

• Wearable Versatility: Integrated hooks on the side allow it to transition from a handheld folio to a small sling or neck pouch when I need to be hands-free.

• Grab-and-Go: Designed so I never have to worry if I forgot a specific item—if I have the wallet, I have my life.

The Build Process

This was a labor of love involving several iterations to get the magnetic strength and the "fold" just right.

Created this backpack in ClO and rendered in Gemini. What you guys think of this style bag as a EDC bag?

I’m currently prototyping the design language for my new softgoods brand, Varis. To get the cover durability and "technical" feel I wanted without a massive offset print run, I experimented with premium greeting card production. The result is a 48-page graph grid memo book with a heavy-weight, topographic cover that can actually handle back-pocket wear.

It’s been a great way to bridge the gap between a design concept and a physical product I can actually use in the field.

The Specs:

• Cover: Heavy matte cardstock (Topo motif)

• Interior: Graph Grid | 48 Pages
