A CLEAR ADVANTAGE
Made of water-resistant, translucent material, the Jimi wallet is boasted as the alternative
to wallets. Designed to rid you of, well, stuff and stuffing, its minimalist construction
holds only the barest wallet essentials (a few cards and only a few bills). All Jimi products
are manufactured in the U.S. from 100-percent recycled materials, with 1 percent of Jimi
products’ sales revenue invested in the environment. Accessorize the Jimi wallet with an
optional Memory Card holder ($5.95) or hang on for the Jimi Multi-Media case ($8.95).
